Few Crackles Present : Two tracks from the vault of a mysterious Russian producer. Polyrhythms dubs in the jungle soundscape of a Soviet Spy movie, with both spooky and melancholic atmospheres : we can't define more specifically what is all about in those two gems. We are thrilled to make them the first release on the label and hope you will get lost in them too

After two cassette releases for the likes of Tokyo's Solitude Solutions and Barcelona's Angoisse, Motion Ward is happy to present the debut of Kouhei Fukuzumi's Ultrafog project on the vinyl format. "How Those Fires Burned That Are No Longer" weaves through sliding metal timbres, textured air abstractions and wistful mallet sequences. This record, like all of Kouhei's work, is a take on sound as a representation of memory. Light and translucent, each song aims for a temporal snapshot that will inevitably fade into the well of thoughts and experience.

a dream I see with one eye open
if, about the fire I've witnessed
I could tell you what it illuminated
the place where you even lose your final
shade of darkness
may it at least be golden
may it at least be grand

Gifted Culture collective is ready to unleash the second jam session of the announced trilogy. GMI Jam Venice comes from the filth and the mug of the abandoned ex-industrial area in the outskirts of Venice. There, Autre and Two Thou invade Hawaiian Chips' top-notch studio, where all together ride 70's synthesizer rarities and try to domesticate the monstrous Yamaha CS 80. This jam, inspired by the post-industrial Venetian scenario, dives between the dreams of archetypal electronic music and reminiscences of psychedelic progressive bands, giving birth to two long journeys ready to gently carry the dance floor into the outer space.

It's done. The final, last and endmost volume of remixes for Tuff City Kids' (aka Philipp Lauer and Gerd Janson) unique debut album Adoldesscent are here. Featuring KiNK, Prins Thomas, Sascha Funke, Shan, Justin Strauss's Whatever/Whatever project and Brussels' bohemian Mugwump, TCK originals are treated with acid, balearic rhythms, lean Berlin grooves, New York City dubs, UK breaks and Belgian new beats. There is something for every taste and one for each situation. The vinyl edition carries KiNK, Prins Thomas, Sascha Funke and the previously unreleased proto-rave rocket Icebot. For the rest, hit the download button, please. That's all folks.

As a delightful taster for his upcoming debut album called 'Between A Smile And A Tear' on Music For Dreams, Danish artist Be Svendsen launches his new vocal driven - the weird and wonderful deep disco single 'Drop The Gun'
World premiered by Pete Tong on BBC1, and already harnessing great momentum in Ibiza and the summer festivals, this crossover track is very likely to stick in your head.
Produced, arranged, mixed, played and sung by Be Svendsen

Les Editions Japonais, is a new label to showcase Japanese artists new and old, the first release is by Tokyo based band Kufuki.

Kufuki, was formed in 2010 by Ryuichiro Konno (electronics), Motomasa Saito (electronics), Tosimasa Matsumoto (vocals), and Yudai Nobunaga Kogawa (vocals,VJ, electronics), hailing from various musical genres, ranging from techno, rock, blues and hip-hop. Tired of formulaic club music, they set out to create their own electronic ethnic music, firstly taking influences from places they had travelled, but more recently concentrating on electrifying minyo, or traditional Japanese folk music.

MInyo has an ageless tradition in Japanese culture, mainly work songs - for example, sung by field workers and fishermen - and regional tributes. Passed down over the centuries by performance at seasonal festivals, they are often accompanied by dance. These traditions prevail, and many songs are familiar to a large proportion of Japan's population, young and old.

Kufuki have already released two albums, the self-released "Fukamidori" (2010), and "Kufuki', on the Wonderyou label (2012). Favourable reviews appeared in Japanese, American and European web magazines: Bad Alchemy Magazin (Germany), Loop (Chile), Sound & Recording Magazine (Japan), Hemisferia (Colombia) and more. They toured South Korea in 2013 and Europe in 2014, taking in Germany, Portugal and the UK. This year they are planning another European tour.

The band's singular sound is a rollicking rendition of minyo, using the driving work-song rhythms as a background to their call and response vocals, and phalanx of decaying synthesizers, all in a pentatonic key.

Torobayashi is a 20th century folk song, originally released in the early 60s by Masao Suzuki, as part of the original wave of popularised minyo. Akusejima is much older, named after the tiny remote volcanic island in Kagoshima. And, tucked away on the B side is a cheeky dancehall-tinged re-work of Torobayashi by Japan Blues.

The 4 track 12' comes in black disco bag, with label artwork by Motomasa Saito, and with a washi (Japanese paper) New Minyo sticker.

Qritikal Records mastermind Kosmetiq drops a jazz tinged, St Germain inspired three-tracker for the brand new PHONO001.

'I'm Coming Home' is a soulful house gem combining Heather Hoyle's sumptuous jazz flute with the gritty blues vocals and guitar of award-winning Papa George. Adding layers of synth lines behind a bumping deep house rhythm, Kosmetiq produces an emotive midtempo number with a touch of the Gregory Porter to it.

For 'Horizontal' Kosmetiq takes the pace down laying out a dusty, downtempo, Rhodes laden beat that provides the perfect basis for Donovan Blackwood's beautifully introspective recital of Heather's spoken word poetry. Heather turns her talents to the sax this time round, passionately performing a series of irresistible melodies that complement the hazy leanings of the track all too well.

Rounding off the EP, 'Lazy' keeps things laidback with a neo soul jam that was originally written by Heather but is made all the more expressive through Shea Soul's incredible voice and Heather's ever reliable jazz flute licks. Slick scratch segments, glistening keys and a full-bodied bassline make this an irresistible groover for any occasion.

New Zealander Julien Dyne is a multi-instrumentalist with
a long and impressive history of collaborative, live and
solo musicianship. Best known for his solo work as BBE and
having worked with the likes of Theo Parrish, Steve Spacek,
Andreya Triana and Lord Echo - one of Soundway's most
successful artists. Dyne has also accumulated a number of
accolades over the course of a 10-year career including but
not exclusive to being hotly tipped by both Moodymann and
Gilles Peterson.
Dyne's new project for 2018 is an 11-track LP on Miles
Cleret's extolled Soundway label. Demonstrating a shift in
gears and movement toward a more uptempo, Afro inspired
sound 'Teal' melds instrumental flair with astute production
and a persistent grain of impassioned, effortless soul. The
album features fellow New Zealanders Lord Echo and Mara
TK, long term band-mate Ladi6, Fat Freddy's Drop trumpeter
Toby Laing, plus Australian vocalist Tim Guy and jazz
luminaries Jonathan Crayford and John Bell. This is a body
of work for the listener and the dancer alike with a mood as
fitting for headphones as it is for the floor, with the double
vinyl album cut loud at 45 RPM.

Remixers getting remixed! The first batch of interpretations for TCK's 2016 debut album 'Adoldesscent' arrives with a trio of artists above the ordinary. While Tensnake and Joe Goddard take care of 'Tell Me' (the former delivers one of his peaking trademark tearjerkers, while the later one is basically meditating on himself), gifted &blessed Roman Flügel turns the proto-rave of 'R-Mancer' into a joyful ride through post-house that not only will make Gerdy happy. One record for every turntable.

"Since Efficient Space excavated Andy Rantzen's mind-bending 'Will I Dream', the rest of the world has become better acquainted with the darker & dubbier side of one of Australia's rave superstars. We're excited to present a selection of tracks from Andy's incredibly diverse oeuvre, 6 songs that sit somewhere between 80s digital reggae, 90s rave and the horizon of our accelerating future.

"Lifting the Veil" speeds up snappy drum programming and a thundering bassline to breakneck speeds, pitting them against sombre chords and strings, perfectly capturing the reflective headspace of a night drive through babylon. 'Cosmic Vibrations' harks back to the development of fully computerised rhythms emanating from Jammy and Tubby's Waterhouse studios, by way of Erskineville. In the same vein, 'Bedtime for Boo Boo' sees Andy joined on the boards by Sydney dub technician Sheriff Lindo, creating a dynamic digi-dub number that is sure to come alive on any soundsystem worth its weight - a heady showcase for two of Australia's finest reggae talents.

Flip the disc to find 'Move It', the most concentrated dose of the jungle vibes that permeate the EP. Rantzen channels the headrush sonics, breakneck drums and euphoria of D'n'B's heydey, nailing the red-eyed early AM atmosphere of a Sydney warehouse ca. 95 - and it's just as likely to cap off the night of many a secret inner west location to come. 'Magic Lantern' marries a dreamy synthesizer melody with a wicked, subby bassline. If there was a dancehall scene in 'Ferngully', this would've been the soundtrack, with enough low end to really rattle the treetops. On closer 'Dub Generator', a slightly-creepy mechanized voice urges you to 'leave your worries at the door... come and join your friends upon the floor' - an introduction to the dancefloor or an induction into some sinister cult Whatever the message, the dub chords and massive bassline lull you into the headspace where these words take hold."

All songs recorded at Masking Tapes, Liquid Blue and 1/66 Enmore Rd, 1997-2000.

A much in demand reissue of two of NYC born-and-bred, Pal Joey's, classics from his joint label with Reynald Deschamps, Loop D'Loop.

First up, 'Party Time' which harnesses that 90's NYC underground house energy with a rawness that was to emanate through many of Pal Joey's subsequent productions. Scalpel in hand, Joey expertly crafted this sample laden groover, his trademark stuttering, off-kilter rhythms, loops and fills keeping listeners on their toes throughout, never knowing how the next phrase might unfold.

On the flip, 'Raw Love' utilises a seminal disco classic as its main sample source, looping it in a way only Pal Joey's mind knows how, adding percussive hits and extra effects to create an innovative, animated and exhilaratingly rhythmic dancefloor bomb.

Both tracks are perfect examples of the simplicity and seeming effortlessness that Pal Joey maintains in his productions, adhering to the mantra that 'less is more' but with a resonating rawness that touches deep down in the soul.

Armand (26 Jahre, Synths & Drum Machines) Und Clara (25 Jahre, Vocals & Drum Machines) Lernten Sich Auf Einer Kunsthochschule Bei Paris Kennen. Er Schwört Auf Den Techno Des Berühmten Warp-labels, Sie Sang Bei Den Garage-rockern Cannery Terror. Nach Ersten Diy-shows Stieß Das Hippe Label Cracki Records Auf Agar Agar, 2016 Erschien Die Debüt-ep "cardan", Auf Der Clara Erstmals Ihre Rolle Als Hohepriesterin Des Goth Auslebte: Eine Art Wiedergeburt Von Siouxsie Im Gewand Von Donna Summer. Stücke, Die Klingen Wie Ein Diskoider Schamanischer Trip, Dunstig Und Ultra-langsam, Ein Aufruf Zu Besessenheit Und Hingabe. Zwei Jahre Danach Sind Ihre Konzerte Monate Im Voraus Ausverkauft. Nun Erscheint Ihr Mit Spannung Erwartetes Debütalbum "the Dog And The Future", Wieder Mit Dem Markenzeichen Von Agar Agar: Claras Hingebungsvolle Stimme Schwebt Über Makellose, Dunstige Slow-disco Instrumentals. Es Ist Ein Melancholisches, Nostalgisches Und Zugleich Poppig-futuristisches Album, Das Sich Thematisch Um Die Virtuelle Realität, Um Simulationen Des Lebens, Um Hunde Und Um Die Liebe Dreht, Und Vor Augenzwinkern In Richtung Pop-kultur, Vor Labyrinthischen Rätseln Und Opium-geschwängerten Schwingungen Nur So Strotzt. Es Oszilliert Zwischen Granatapfel Großen Herzen, Einem Himmel Aus Schatten, Dem Dunst Der Erde, Mystischen Zuckungen Und Dem Schwarzen Leder Des Nihilismus Der Neuen Blank-generation.

"die Aufregendsten Französischen Indie-pop-acts Mit Weiblicher Stimme." - The Postie, Juli 2018

DFA release Crooked Man's new album, 'Crooked House'.
Speaking about the album's lead track, 'Take It All Away',
Crooked Man says: 'It's about not being suffocated under the
mountains of useless crap that Mammon shits into every
crevice of modern life... quite possibly the world's only anti
consumerist disco song.'
The elusive Crooked Man returns to DFA with 'Crooked House'
LP, a maximalist take on electronic and house music that picks
up where 2016's self-titled album left off. Teaming up again
with Michael Somerset Ward (Clock DVA) and David Lewin
(Bleep & Booster) in the studio, Richard Barratt crafts a
comprehensive journey of hi-fi house belters with more sinister
electro-pop mixed in for good measure.
The album is influenced by two historic epicentres of electronic
music: Sheffield UK, where Richard has had an illustrious
career in a mix of legendary groups like Funky Worm, Sweet
Exorcist and The All Seeing I; and the NYC Loft-era disco
sound, where extended grooves were layered with peaktime
choruses.
Richard's diverse collaborations and intensely prolific
discography have now led him to records as lush and
sophisticated as 'Crooked House'. Considering the rarity of a
live Crooked Man performance or DJ set, it's a testament to his
hyper-creativity that these tracks are able to reach new heights
in a club setting. With support from disco historian Bill Brewster
and NTS resident Ross Allen, it's clear that 'Crooked House'
brings a timeless vitality to the current landscape of dance
music and continues an exciting new chapter in Crooked Man's
career.
LP format includes digital download code.

Welsh mystic Wesley Matsell returns to Border Community with an ebullient EP of 90s tinged dance utopianism. File alongside the good-natured old school stylings of Orbital, Lone and The MFA.
Thoroughly road tested in the DJ sets of James Holden, the staccato gasps of rave banger 'Total Order Of Being' exude a melodious, propulsive appeal.
A trio of companion tracks seal the deal: 'Future Beacon' combines sacred, mystical arpeggios and rattling breakbeats; 'Dowlais Wheelie Crew's layers of vibrant synths form a decidedly modern groove; and 'Rite Of Pant' is a rousing exercise in handmade primal proto-house.
This is the final release in a collectable four part series of limited vinyl (500 copies). All four covers fit together to reveal a larger picture by UK designer Jack Featherstone.

Further expeditions into spacey and celestial techno can be found on Blue Veil's second EP for Dichotomy Records.

Danny Clancy's new project assembles four measured and characteristic tracks on the 'Natural Boundary' EP, all wrapped up in Dichotomy's bespoke design aesthetic on the 12' vinyl.

'Three Horsemen Of The Apocalypse' offers a beautiful contrast of dark and light via a heady, acidic techno flavour against ethereal vocals, and 'Broken Pieces' delivers delicate electronica bathed in glorious melody.

The atmosphere remains celestial throughout 'Measure Of Time', with driving toms marching through a blanket of deep, melancholic synths, whilst 'Light Mask' signs off the EP with a rhythmic and percussive workout that teases with its blissful tones.

Mineral is a vinyl-only label born out of a long-lasting friendship and a mutually obsessive infatuation with records. The label is geared towards providing a platform for up-and-coming producers, showcasing intriguing and evocative electronic music ready to stand the test of time.

Disco Tools 18 Moods is the first ep of Sampling Moods Records Label. In this first release Eddie lays down the defining ingredients of his label: disco-funk samples, distinct rhythms and recordings on tape. Assisted by his mentors Eddie sets out to make his mad passion for Classic Garage amalgamate with a galvanising rhythmic construction, which is raw and rough.

Hinter dem Alias Bvdub verbirgt sich mit Brock Van Wey ein Produzent elektronischer Musik aus San Francisco. Dort war Wey in den Neunzigern als DJ und Promoter in der Rave-Szene aktiv, bevor er sich in den frühen Nullerjahren nach China verabschiedete, um dort auf neue Gedanken zu kommen. Was ihm auch recht erfolgreich gelang, seit 2007 hat Wey - als Bvdub und unter anderen Pseudonymen - rund 40 AmbientTonträger veröffentlicht, darunter mittlerweile stattliche 30 Alben. Diese begeistern durch empfindsam gesponnene Melodien und faszinierende Texturen, wie sie auch bei Echospace, Kompakt und Styrax geschätzt werden. "Drowning In Daylight" ist Weys Debüt für das Label Apollo. Das Album erscheint als Doppel-LP und enthält vier epische, je circa 20-minütige Tracks. Sie machen unverkennbar klar, dass Wey in Kindheitstagen eine Piano- und Violinen-Ausbildung genossen hat und (noch immer) von nostalgischsymphonischen Klängen beseelt ist.

Up next on the AdMaiora catalogue is an exclusive Italian project. Two young djs, producers and long time friends Nicola Calbi and Luky got together for 'Miami Force 89'. With releases on some of the most prestigious tech-house imprints, including 'Wow! Recordings' and 'Sanity', the fellow Italians unleash another powerful EP.

First entitled main 'Miami Force 89' is clearly immersed in the atmospheres of the late 80's. Unceasing female vocal loop meets tasty groove, hi-octave vibrato lead and a mighty kick and bass combination, making you feel like you're driving a supercar in the sunny East Coast.

The second original called 'Machine Gun' is a total gunpowder track, with a super-fat kick drum, aggressive vocal samples and rampant synths. Nicola and Luky go harder than ever, delivering a great tech-house stomper.

On the remix duty we warmly welcome Berlin hero Philip Bader and Italian duo Alfa Romero. The guys from Alfa Romero have already worked with Italian veteran Davide Squillace, and got remixed by Robert Dietz, Betoko and Snilloc. In their version of 'Miami Force 89' they go deeper and deeper, concentrating their idea in a long break which is characterized by touching brass, melodic pads and cinematic atmospheres.

Philip Bader closes the thing with the final track of the B side. He's been around for the last 10 years with appearances in almost the biggest labels such as 'Suara', 'This and That', 'Snatch!' and 'Moon Harbour' to name a few. His remix for 'Machine Gun' is pure killer material as he definitely adds fire on this one: since the beginning of the track, the heavy kicks and the harsh usage of the vocal parts turn the original into a military gear assault weapon. The gloomy groove and the grumpy synth-line do the rest, revealing once again the real raw nature of the track.
