Rubber brings it back to home ground by diving deeper into Jan Duivenvoorden's shoeboxes. Travelling beyond Unit Moebius, Funky Sobrietas and even Leuk & Ko, there was MINIGOD. Back in 1987, at a local youth centre in the ever-dull Zoetermeer, a group of seven non-musical friends started what could be considered a freeform band performing '"electronic 'beuk' music with noise guitar and lyrical texts". This band was called MINIGOD and rose from the ashes of the performative act Aars/rugklachten. Their change not only meant an upgrade in instruments - from jerrycans, barrels and worn-out bass guitar to keyboard and synthesizers - but also from simply screaming into the void towards songs with something of a structure. The release portrays MINIGOD quintessentially -- energy above professionalism. From a large number of tracks Rubber made a precise selection allowing punk and satire to dance cheek-to-cheek. MINIGOD believed that every human can be a tiny bit of God, and that was just the way this music was intended. If only everybody believed in themselves, and in others. MINIGOD is Jan Duivenvoorden (Unit Moebius), Richard van den Bogaert (Leuk & Ko), and Rob de Bakker played keyboard and synthesizer, Edwin Zuidwijk played guitar, and Siuli Ko and Bart Barendregt did the vocals. Limited to 123 copies.

New year, new Skrufix release and this one is on vinyl once again! Following a return to form with stellar releases last year from Things With Wings with some Nigerian inspired beats, our 2-Step King, The Crane and an extremely well received release from new boy, Skwirl, we continue with quality production levels and one hell of a release from Nathan Jonson.

After a successful decade of releasing music under the Hrdvsion alias (Wagon Repair / Sound Pellegrino / Planet Mu), 2015 saw Nathan reach a turning point in his musical career and re-launch with a new direction under his birth name. The Jonson family are clearly one of good musical stock, his brother is the formidable Matthew Jonson and Nathan has recently released on 20:20 Vision as well as his brother's new Freedom Engine label, among others. We are therefore more than a little bit chuffed to get him on-board for this new EP, 'Space Between Breath'.

The release kicks off with the title track 'Space Between Breath', an ideal opener that builds into a lush, intricate Techno track accompanied by bouncy synth sounds. Label regular, The Crane brings his usual 2-Step talent to rework the first track exceptionally. On the flipside, things kick off with a darker feel and acid sounding synth lines on 'The Transfer', followed by a fine finale in the trippy and chugging sound of 'I'm All We Got.'

It's quite the release all round to be honest! And we're very excited to finally get this one out there. Look out for more excellence to come later in the year as label regulars, Turtlez and Skwirl prep new EPs, alongside some surprising new additions along the way!

Physical Therapy for Exotic Dance with this first volume of shamanic workout material made between 2014 and 2017. These are deliriously entrancing and exquisitely produced tracks, expertly engineered to keep the floor moving.

Limited pressing of 200 copies..

Cult label Groovepressure returns with its 17th release. A 4-track EP that is one of its best yet. A collaboration between label boss (and Memory Box head honcho) Robin Ball and regular Groovepressure cohorts A². Taking turns to remix each other’s tracks delivering a 4/4 and breakbeat track and remix each. This EP has all the Groovepressure trademarks. Mixing up techno, house, breakbeat and electro with a deep underground vibe. Music for your head and your feet.

First up A² “Delaycious” is an unreleased track from the vaults. A real gem made in the 90’s and thought lost until re-discovered recently on a dusty DAT. And on the flip side Robin’s stripped back teched up “Oh Yea”.

The summer sun is high in the sky. A cocktail in hand. The soundtrack? Chiara. Steeped in Latin rhythms, produced with the golden touch of Francesco de Bellis (Francisco), this two-tracker is set to a serious groove. Beats chatter and mingle in the evening heat of “Rec”. Bass smoothness and brassy blasts are sweetened by Chiara’s vocals before dramatic strings flash like lightning, igniting this already energy-packed encounter. “Studio Line” continues that theatrical touch. Bold keys, echoing the cinematic grandeur of Italy, are supported by dynamic drum patterns as a vocal sample circles. Styles spin and spiral, the track twirling between genre tags refusing to be pigeonholed. Elements of East and West glide and pirouette hand in hand across this stunning 7”, Chiara offering the perfect soundtrack to dance from dusk to dawn.

XXX011 exists of 5 diverse electronic tracks by Mytron which could be played at every moment.
From high energy dance music, to dream house, to aggressive chug. This EP has it all.
To top it off, the remix by Nick Berlin (aka San Soda) will certainly be liked among new beat lovers.

Repress!

After a series of sonic happenings at London's The Lion & Lamb in 2018, Bobby Pleasure's Pleasure Club now sends its first signals out into the observable universe.

For his first solo release N-Gynn serves up a 4 track EP spanning spacey house, techno and electro. Hardware hallucinations fused with machine mysticism to produce interstellar introspection. A collection of recordings that are at once entirely familiar whilst also completely alien.

A voyage through time and space via the medium of vibrational frequency...

For dancers & prancers

Fortuna Records return with an exceptional reissue of a mid-80s early electronica LP by keyboardist Raviv Gazit. The album was composed entirely on the Synclavier synthesizer in the basement of the Tel-Aviv University in 1985. Gazit was ahead of his time composing cold yet blissful electronic music for film and theatre which he later released as an album. An unexpected yet extremely welcome addition to Fortuna's killer catalog.

Snips is the founder of Barbershop Records and co founder of Livin Proof, with over 15 years experience as one of Londons most prolific DJs and over 10 years worth of production credits across Hip Hops underground. 2018 has seen Snips emerge as a budding solo artist, fusing the production styles of Hip Hop, House, Soul and Funk in the same fashion as he is known to do behind the turntables.

With his debut album "The Barbershop" making waves on both sides of the Atlantic and his Single "The Product" On Classic Records garnering support from a cross genre selection of heavyweights such as Karizma, Benji B, Eli Escobar, House Shoes, J Rocc, DJ Spinna and Henry Wu, Snips returns on his own label Barbershop Records and delves into Edit territory for his second instalment of the "Snips Edits" series. This time cleverly turning a handful of Hip Hop classics into club ready anthems over Snips' original productions.

Following noticeable releases on Tone Dropout, Art Of Dark, Overthink and Shadow Play, frenchman Daïf returns to his own imprint for LUMINAERE 002 Highways of Life. Distancing from the spacey atmosphere of the first one, this four tracker captures a personal side of Daïf’s musical identity, powerful and twisted.

On the A side, Downtown spiral sets the tone of the EP. Field with melodic pads and ear-piercing leads this 4/4 track bursts with energy. Then follows Burnout, perhaps the most complex of the four. UK garage like style, mesmerizing bass lines and pads, buckle up, you’re in for a 200 mph drive.

On the B side, Terrible Lie is a hot banger with a ravy old school flavor. Warehouse synths, cheesy vocal samples, stabby leads and melodic pads, this one is guaranteed to do some damage. Finally, closing off is Exhaust-ed, hauntingly beautiful track with powerful breaks interleaved with acid bass lines going back and forth with melodic chords.

a great ep with tracks dominik vogel and black on blondes !!! especially the black on blondes track will be a burner on the minimal floors for sure !!! this is great !!! check all tracks !!!

Part two of the Tunnelvisions remixes include four artists: Fort Romeau, David Mayer, Yor Kultura and Bawrut. Fort Romeau's remix is a typical track you will hear back in clubs such as Robert Johnson, Bawrut's remix is a big-room beast and David Mayer shows his typical tribal sound. Yor Kultura finishes this remix EP and Tunnelvisions' Celestial Ritual project with a downtempo version of Umai's Dance. The Remixes are out March 22nd on Atomnation.

French duo Double Mixte bring their digital thunderstorm of neon lit noire to the Italians Do It Better family on their debut EP. Mixed and produced by label head Johnny Jewel, Romance Noire opens the door to a new wave of Italians Do It Better artists coming in 2019.

Fresh Blood. New Tears. The title track arpeggiates and boils as waves of bass flow beneath. Rhythms are carried to the ceiling by a searing cascade of disintegrating color. A heavy backbeat anchors Clara Apolit’s poetry, ready to wear for a night in the face of oblivion.

The cinematic “Arlette” is a call for discovery through a darkness lit only by the glare of headlights in digital rain. Through all of this, Thomas Maan’s incantations search for the lonely, lost in the void of electronic fog. “November” finds in Clara an Anglophonic chanteuse, meditating on the cycles of time.

A blend of suspended sound and an uncertain melody contracts and expands before dissolving. Romance Noire is art that both contemplates and tanscends time’s firm grip. It’s a filmic journey inducing a vague sense of future nostalgia. Happy Valentine’s Day. Double Mixte is Clara Apolit and Thomas Maan.

The duo met in Paris and there was an immediate pull to create music together. They pooled their combined interest in powerful narrative & dark 70’s French film music to write lyrically vivid songs. In 2017, Thomas reached out to Johnny Jewel for what soon became a collaboration that expanded their vision into a haunting debut EP, out today on Italians Do It Better.

- Limitierte rote 2LP+MP3 Downloadcode im Gatefold Sleeve und neuem Cover Image und Linernotes von Simon Green. Inklusive bedruckten Innenhüllen und einem 12" Art-Print mit dem Original Cover.

Ninja Tune veröffentlicht eine Jubiläumsausgabe zum 10. Geburtstag von Bonobo’s Klassiker „Black Sands“ angekündigt, womit bereits ein ganzes Jahrzehnt seit der Veröffentlichung des gefeierten bahnbrechenden Albums des Produzenten und Multi-Instrumentalisten Simon Green ins Land gezogen ist. Das Album hielt einen einzigartigen Moment fest - es wurde von Kritiker*innen bewundert, erklomm die Spitze bei den Alben des Jahres von Resident Advisor und DJ Mag und verkaufte sich bisher weltweit über vierhunderttausend Mal.

Beeinflusst von den unterschiedlichen, bassbetonten Strömungen der britischen elektronischen Musikszene zu der Zeit, passte Green diese sich entwickelnden Klänge kunstvoll in seine eigene, umfassendere Vision ein. Die bleibende Bedeutung der Platte ergibt sich aus der Tiefe, die er in diesen Kombinationen fand, rasselnden 2-Step-Rhythmen und druckvollen Subbässen, gepaart mit sorgfältig ausgearbeitetem Songwriting und üppiger, brillant umgesetzter Instrumentierung.

Zehn Jahre später ist die Platte der wichtige entscheidende Schritt in Greens hintergründigem, aber unaufhaltsamem Aufstieg zu einem der größten Elektronikkünstler unserer Zeit. Inzwischen kann er sich mit sechs Alben rühmen, darunter das karrierebestimmende 2017er-Album „Migration“, das Platz 11 der offiziellen Albumcharts in Deutschland erreichte und zwei GRAMMY-Nominierungen erhielt (ebenso wie seine 2019er-Single „Linked“), außerdem spielte er ausverkaufte Konzerte auf der ganzen Welt und brachte seine kultisch verehrte Live-Show an mehreren Abenden hintereinander in den Alexandra Palace (auch bekannt als „Ally Pally“), zum Glastonbury Festival, auf das Red Rocks Amphitheater in Colorado oder ins gigantische Berliner Fahrradstadion, dem Velodrom.

Expert in trippy joints- and knee-buckling bounce, OZ-based producer Reptant is back with a vengeance after an array of choice outings on the likes of Salt Mines, Planet Euphorique and Craigie Knowes!

No warm-up lap needed, ‘Phasic Reflex’ may start as a tycho-esque daydream, what’s bred in the bone comes out in the flesh. A pure adrenaline rush of vogue-ing 303, hi-voltage electro- and intricate
drum programming, this one has dancefloor ripper written all over it.

Keeping the tension up to hazardous levels, ‘MS Plenty’ zones out to a Detroit-style elixir of arpeggiated seesaws and pong-indebted, body-jacking pep. As it's title suggests – or not, the B-side opener ‘A Realist’s Realistic Reality’ clearly lies closer to a cyphered Dick-ian parallel world full of binary bleepin’ and swirlin’, post-kosmische infused riffs and tentacular Arpanet-style modularity, which Roza Terenzi alters into a lo-pressure dub expedition – better tasted at sunrise, feet buried deep in the sand and your hazy mind draped in the cosy folds of a cheerful seaside sloth with friends.

There is not much information to be found online about Bliss Inc., whose Hacking the Planet EP comes out on Radiant Love this summer. Beyond the fact they’re named Alexander and hail from Saint Petersburg, the project is cryptic – somehow this is fitting for a set of songs that could’ve fallen out of an obscure 1994 catalogue. This is the year of Robert Leiner’s Visions of the Past, Opus III’s Guru Mother, and Paul Oakenfold’s BBC-1 Essential Mix: an aesthetic region in which tech and new age spirituality braid together, a time before this synthesis reached Silicon Valley; while it still lingered in the rave, incredibly sincere, everything sounded kind of wet, and the efficiency of spirit was means to no end but a state of bliss.

What keeps Hacking the Planet from falling into pure nostalgia is its tuning – the palette of 1994 has been lifted and run through a delicate sensibility. The title track is a piece of buoyant, airy trance, with orbiting filters and a set of loopy, very vocal synths. It bumps along at 130 BPM, but feels slower because of the ease and clarity with which the track progresses. “Infinite” has got the aquatic motifs and soft, panning cymbals of a set-opener, or a comedown jam. The break that swings in after a minute-thirty feels less like a punctuation than another stream of sonics joining the flow. Picking up the pace a little, “Transitions” opens with a whir that could issue from a field of crickets or a stack of hardware. The entrance of the bassline was the first moment in this EP one could call nasty. But its drive and weight is also tempered, played against by a clever drum break, a run of piano keys, and the ethereal reverb-washed vocal sample we expect in a piece of classic mid-90’s trance – absent, however, is any kind of signalling to Goa, “exoticism” or indigenous aesthetics. (1994 was also the year of Jean Paul Gaultier’s Les Tatouages collection, which, for all its romantic nomadism and deft tailoring and syncretic spirit, has no need of a 2020 update).

Bliss Inc.’s songs stream, rather than track – one gets a sense that the elements flow in and out rather than ride a structure. Sansibar, who provides a remix of “Hacking the Planet” to round out the EP, is solidly a producer of tracks: often electro-derived ass-shaking material that hits, and hits in recognisable sections that progress serially. His version of the title cut brings in a hefty acid baseline, jungle-style stretched vocals, and kicks out of the 4/4 grid. But let there be no mistake, this is a producer also quite capable of coaxing delicacy out of hardware. The chimes of the lullaby-like breakdown halfway through the remix sound like nothing but a ghost in the machine.

The PXU white series returns with more reworks from 2 of the baddest women ever to do it . Flipping your guilty pleasures into basement ready stompers for the head bobbers and body poppers.

Welcome to the Parallel Universe, where different minds connect on levels transcending your usual perception of space and time. The first release takes you on a journey which feels like a never ending trance. As we say over at the P.U. headquarters: “Great minds space alike!”

Traveling to space, through music.

NOW WE'RE WELDIN'. Dixon Avenue Basements Jams launches it's sub-label Neutralizer, a new outlet for the dirtier end of their tastes, with four honkin' jam rolls from Belfast's own Carlton Doom, purported to be the adult alias of a feral child featured in the infamous 2002 documentary, 'Wild Child'. Despite many attempts (at an apparent two million pound cost) by the state to 'civilise' him, Monsieur Doom has never really shaken off the untamed environments that shaped the absolute weirdo he is today: a steady diet of house bricks, diesel and boursin cheese translates into a primitive and powerful approach to modern machine music, at once referencing the dirty frolic of classic Hague / Glasgow manoeuvres, upcycling all that old shite to reflect a far more harrowing take on the desolate, post-sensible future we're wishing into existence. BenzodiAcid and the rhythm of hard industry, stitched together with a dod of good 'eld fashioned mechanical funk and strong will to fuck it all off. Perfect for listening to whilst chowing down on a city pigeon kebab on the dried-up banks of the River Lagan, but actually even more suitably placed through the undulating cones of an oppressively loud sound system in the basement of a telesales unit. Thoroughly optimistic vistas all round.

But we're not here to sugar coat it for ye - Neutralize your own stinking life xx

Tribe Recordings drops its third superb release. This time their own team member D.A.B is delivering 4 bombs, ready to smash any dancefloor. Essential!

Incredible remixes from Fred Everything & Olivier Desmet !.

Started at the age of thirteen with a crate of his big brother's records, Dj Matpat was introduced to an eclectic mix of music that has influenced his take on House Music.

Racking up releases from labels such as Madhouse, Exploited, Plant Music, W&O Street Tracks, as well as Derrick Carter's Persnickety All Stars label, Dj Matpat has now combined his passion for production and House Music to form his own label entitled 'Clubby Boy'.

With the artistic stylings of his Philly party Club Congress and a remix by The Bunker artist Justin Cudmore, the first release 'It's Time!' (Produced by the Clubby Boy himself) can be seen as a 'call to action' either for these current times or to lose yourself with-in the dance floor.

Luke Sanger aka Duke Slammer has been a busy boy lately, from regular appearances at Berlin's infamous Panorama Bar, to composing game soundtracks for Ubisoft. In this installment Luke dons his Slammer hat for a holiday inspired selection aimed at the dance floor.Pack The Picnic: Box Jams' takes inspiration from the vast Norfolk sky and coastline. Slammer takes to his hardware to jam out a strain of melodic techno that bear resemblance to acts like DMX Krew and Larry Heard.

Seven Swiss artists & collectives sharing the same passion for music came together for a unique collaboration. The result is a sequence that evolves through rhythm and each contributor‘s colour of sound. Artists involved: Melodiesinfonie, Jack Pattern, Lexx, Look Like, Alma Negra, Manuel Fischer, Les Points.

If you draw a map of electronic music today, you will come to realise that Switzerland still represents a blind spot for many people. Even if you see from the inside the many talented artists romping about in such a small space, you have to admit that interest from the outside is virtually non-existent. Therefore there is only one way: Teamwork! The MEGAMIX is a statement for it.

Live At Robert Johnson deploys a very true to its school release by one of Brussels finest, DC Salas. „The Complicated Art of Dreaming“ tells a four-track tale of joyous and airy nights on the dancefloor. A few euphoric sixteenths and a few quirky acid lines, lush pads and irresistible drums—it’s all about giving you that driving and energetic feeling, with more than one genuine hands in the air floorfiller at your disposal.

Things are what you expect of LARJ: Driving high quality tracks with an emotional twist, a nod to the luscious moments on the wooden dancefloor. — DC Salas is thirtysomething year old Diego Cortez Salas, a skilled talent with peruvian origins hailing from Brussels. His four-track EP „The Complicated Art of Dreaming“ delves into classic territories, an eclectic amalgamation of his musical inspirations in 15 years of digging and DJing. A regular DJ at C11 and Kiosk Radio both in Brussels, Diego also co-runs Biologic Records with his mate Abstraxion since 2014.

Frigio Records is consistently plumbing the depths to unearth exciting talent. Bartoszek has been corrupting and manipulating tracks to fit floors for years, editing and slicing past pieces to breath new life into them. The German artist has turned his hand, and scissors, to four tracks from a spread of musicians from far and wide for Frigio’s latest: Ecdisis Vol 2.

The first port of call is Croatia with Denis & Denis. An earlier synth pop outfit, “Ti I Ja” was first released in 1984. This reinterpretation is a bubbling brew that cuts sweetened notes and brooding tones with a piercing snare for a devastating rework. Britain’s ever mischievous Portion Control follow. “Chew You To Bits”, from 1983, is not only extended but expanded.

Guttural vocals are kept in check by thumping rhythms and squealing electro lines tainted with tin and toxins. The flip changes tact with Hunting Lodge’s “Tribal Warning Shot” (1985) being revisited a string of drum beats, clanks and clatters energise this finale as EBM demons and ghouls haunt the backdrop. Vangelis Katsoulis’s “Earth Beat” closes the journey. First released in 1988, this primal piece of percussive pound and punch is muscled up to the four minute mark while maintaining those dreamy rainforest echoes of the original.

Batoszek takes us on a trip through obscurities of 1980's electronics, reviving the past and resurrecting forgotten short bursts from a bygone age. Tracks from more than thirty years ago beefed up and dusted down with brutal effect. Music that once again challenges ears and demands to be heard.
