There's a new band in town! comforter2 is the new baby of Meetsysteem, Tammo Hesselink & Marianne Noordzij. Born from a residency space in Arnhem as they we're being snowed in over the pandemic, comforter2 is a band for club heads and a club act for band heads. Sometimes two worlds meet - and through this conversation love is found - that's a quote from the album > there's a lyric sheet included with the cassette so you can read along. If you're familiar with their solo projects you won't be surprised by the size of this debut; 16 fresh, club-leaning, indie pop/rock tunes that we'll release on cassette as well as digital. The tracks are formed by all members: Tammo's knack for bass and rhythms, Meetsysteem's song- writing skills (the album is sung in English) and together by Marianne's designs and voice, adding a touch of blissful psychedelia. It's an honest, upfront album about the highs and lows of modern life, seen through the eyes of a raver at their peak. It lends their sound a sense of alluring melancholy, a beautifully bittersweet sense of mood that stays with you long after the rhythms have finished. Like lullabies, for the dancefloor.

Selador Recordings return with the third instalment of their acclaimed Magic Black Plastic series bringing together another quartet of favourite tracks from the UK label, helmed by Dave Seaman & Steve Parry.

This time the EP comprises of Joyce Muniz’s perfectly executed update of the Just Her & Kieran Fowkes classic ‘On The Low’ and André Lodemann’s beautifully crafted rework of Carlos Barbero & Dom Fricot’s ‘Closer To Closure’.

Plus, two evergreen bestsellers from the digital catalogue pressed to wax for the first time in the form of Luke Brancaccio & Gai Barone’s majestic ‘J’aime L’Amour’ and Adam Ten & Dor Danino’s stand out ‘Zurnita’.

It’s another awesome foursome but don’t just take our word for it though, hear it straight from the DJing elite…

After the re-release of the classic "Nu Romantix" album, Ed DMX aka DMX Krew returns to Permanent Vacation with his new album "Party Life". This time the long-haired UK legend is taking a step back from his trademark Electro and Techno sound and putting on his romancing suit.

Ed is crooning over 80's styled Boogie, Disco and Funk tracks in a way only he can do it and that will either make you jump for joy or cruising down the coastal promenade.

"Party Life" is another example why Ed is a master of all crafts in the ever expanding DMX Krew universe.

Fila Brazillia veröffentlichen mit RETROSPECTIVE REDUX 90 -> 22 eine remasterte Kollektion ihrer breitgefächerten Produktion: von bahnbrechenden, früh-90er Psychedelic Beats über subaquatischem House und Downtempo-Perlen bis zu rustikalem Funk und verzerrter Disco - ein fesselnd-flüssiges Kompendium 30 Jahre elektronischer Musik. Mit der ersten RETROSPECTIVE beendeten sie 2006 ihre Karriere, um sie 2020 wieder fortzuführen (u.a. mit der Reissue der Debütsingle MERMAIDS auf Running Back). Die neue remastered Edition enthält zusätzlich die digitalen Singles MADAME LE FEVRE und NEANDERTHAL sowie den neuen exklusiven Track TORO DE FUEGO.

Cyphon Recordings welcome DJ, producer, musician, and D.KO co-owner Flabaire for the fourth outing on the label.

At just 29, the Parisian artist, already has a fair share of victories under his belt. On his acclaimed D.KO imprint, which will celebrate its 10th anniversary this year, he’s released three albums and several EPs, as well as charting releases for Organic-Music, Deeppa Records and South Street.

For his next solo EP, he brings his beautifully affecting and nostalgic blend of electro, IDM, and deep house to Cyphon. Doing what he does best, Flabaire’s ‘Entre-Deux’ is an EP brimming with emotion and atmosphere. Pulling at the heartstrings, opener ‘In Between’ layers an electro beat over lush pads with iridescent synth lines rising out of the haze. Cowbells swing into action, pads swell and glisten, making way for a squelchy 303 to bubble underneath.

‘No Minding’ moves into softer realms, a serene blend of deep house and electronica, it’s paced by a warm bass bounce and shuffling percussion sprinkled with chopped vocal samples and bright keys. Flabaire’s bass mastery continues ‘Click Plok’, as does his deftness at producing delicate, gliding pads, this time punctuated by tight bleeps, gentle open hats, and a meandering synth solo.

Closing out the EP the atmospheric ‘FBG’, a balmy syncopated groove joined by twinkling synth melodies that dance over dusty breakbeats and hushed vocal stutters.

Red Axes continue their long-term dancefloor relationship with Phantasy and boldly embark down the ‘Rhythm Passage’, another triple-hitter of charismatic, out-there club music delivered only as they can.

Beginning with the title track, ‘Rhythm Passage’ all but guarantees slowly escalating madness in disco spaces both vast and discreet. Weaponizing hypnotic percussion, dusty samples from rave eras gone by and all manner of classic Axes studio trickery, this seductive banger slowly, shrewdly unveils a visceral synth-pop melody that touches the heavens, before being quickly absorbed back into the bowels of the club.

In the hands of Red Axes, even a relative DJ tool is a cosmic journey, as demonstrated on the escalating ‘Oh My Arp’, which finds a collection of the finest analogue musical machinery in electronic music conspiring to fry synapses, with traditional Tel Aviv musicality unexpectedly emerging from deep in the mix.

Finally, ‘20Min’ sees the pair turn their attention to both percussive control and their penchant for suspense, using relatively minimal elements to conjure a liquified roller full of dense, subtle drum play and distinctly psychedelic touches.

Some releases are instant classics and some become future classics!

When first released in 2005, it sold slow so some of the copies were returned to the label. Sadly because of where they were stored, they got flooded making them unsuable.

I approached Vincent to get this one reissued cause it made me shout out DAMN! when I first heard, so had to get my hands on it!

Sadly, after speaking to him, I realized this idea of an reissue is far away, cause the files were on a old Hard Drive, but which one?

Of course we weren't the first people to ask about it, and Vincent already searched a lot for the tracks, so it really seemed impossible.

Personally I never believed in Christmas Miracles, but after Vincent reached out to me on Christmas Eve, after more than 1 year searching for the files, I realized there is a force in the Universe that wants good records to get reissued.

A much awaited and appreciated release, spun in sets and mixes by some of the top dogs around the world, resurfaced from the depths, remastered, cut and pressed for all of us to enjoy!

Who would be better suited for remixing the Skudge classic? It's not a far-fetched idea, as we now see the remix 12" of Convolution featuring Levon Vincent.

Classic late 00s Levon Vincent style of rhythm and pace meets Skudge's hallmark sound.

It's been over a decade since Skudge took charge and urged us to "Give it all up". 'Convolution' forged two distinct genres while avoiding the trap of losing the attitude of both. The track was a strong take on Techno and House simultaneously and brought something new and interesting to the table.

Fast forward a decade since this effort marked the beginning of the Skudge journey, which not only caught the middle ground between Techno and House but also the ears of fellow producer Levon Vincent.
Levon is a prominent name in the oceanic underwater funk, touching strands of Dub, Techno, and House.

Levon delivers two versions, where the Scream Version captures the UK sound of anarchistic basslines similar to 'Basemental' from '95, on the A-side.

Flipping over to the B-side, one can hear the 'Convolution' atmosphere echoing between Levon and Skudge respectively.

“Muzik Fantastique! is another example of their hidden talents” – NME. 1993’s Muzik Fantastique! will receive its first ever vinyl issue in March. The album finds Chris & Cosey in one of their most dynamic and melodic periods with an album that slides towards subtler grooves and textures.

Damiano’s 'PETE' is indebted to those feelings of anticipation for nightlife to return, nowhere is that fell more than his beloved Robert Johnson (where he's resident) and with a new chapter about to start this summer D's trio of heartfelt ravey corkers couldn’t come at a better time.

Hot off the heels of a fast sold-out first release, Gideön returns to his very own Homo-Centric, and we expect this banging collection of steaming dancefloor fillers to follow the same path. Unmissable for the house music fans !
