Dark of Groove

Germany’s Cécille continues to put the spotlight on the rising Dutch underground this February, welcoming Amsterdam’s Rooléh onto the roster with his ‘Distant Phase’ EP.

Across the past few years the Nick Curly and Marc Scholl helmed Mannheim, Germany based Cécille Records has moved from strength to strength with releases and material from the likes of Leon, Sidney Charles and Reboot, while also building a strong connection to the powerhouse Amsterdam scene with material from the likes of Dennis Quin, Prunk and upcomer D STONE. Here the imprint welcomes yet another rising star from the Dutch capital, namely Rooléh who’s been making his mark via releases on Archie Hamilton’s Microhertz and Too Many Rules among others.

‘Look At That’ leads with a swaying bass groove, loosely flowing organic percussion and choppy vocals, intertwined with an amalgamation of stab sequences, synth licks and stuttering effect breaks. ‘From A Distance’ follows and shifts towards a more loop led feel with hypnotic, unfurling vocal chants, a loopy tribal rhythm and a throbbing low-end drive.

‘Flower Phase’ then kicks off the B-Side with a more tripped out intensity via modulating synth flutters, airy chords, a snaking sub bass line and skippy drums before ‘Past Cognitions’ with a more classic house feel, fusing jazzy organ licks and playful chants with a bulbous bass groove and a crunchy 4/4 rhythm.

Pit Spector presents the debut EP on Prospector, a unique live-label concept.

Throughout 2014, Pit Spector has been gaining momentum in Paris with a series of Prospector parties at the intimate 'La chaufferie' of La Machine Du Moulin Rouge. Each time he invites an intriguing name to join him behind the decks, although the musical journey has actually begun long before the clubbers arrive. Coming up with a unique concept that pulls together production and performance, the guest artist joins Pit for a studio jam session to work on a live show and new music, which is then brought to life in front of an audience and provides the material for the Prospector wax.

Prospector 01 presents the experimentations of Pit Spector, Ark and Losoul. Sharing production tricks and incorporating many different samples, instruments and hardware, brothers Pit and Ark create a highly distinctive piece with 'Song For Everyone'. Quite unlike anything in your current record bag and bursting with a plethora of flavours, this is one of those grooves you just can't put in a box. 'Red Sun' is a mesmerising techno number. Highly addictive and plagued with the voice of the Terminator, it sucks you in and sends you spiralling back out. Given the Losoul treatment it reincarnates itself as the evil twin. Darker and more minimal in form, it's stark persona pushes the 3am dancefloor to the very edge.

All vinyl include the corresponding Prospector party poster - original artwork by street art legend O'clock of the New York 156 graffiti crew, who, inspired by the energy of 80s block parties, offers a raw and colourful manifestation of the music.

With five Prospector parties already under his belt, Pit presents his collaborations with San Proper, Ben Vedren, Antislash and Narcotic Syntax (AKA James Dean Brown + Yapacc) in the label's follow-up EPs.

Berlin party series and label AWAY Music continues its limited vinyl series called "Reissued", dedicated to re-releasing iconic cuts from the vast collaborative catalog of Move D & Pete Namlook. The third installment "Reissued 3", which follows the series' first two EPs from previous years, features again some exceptional pieces that were previously only available on CD. Move D and Pete Namlook are electronic visionaries whose 26-album relationship explored and intertwined psychedelic synthscapes, deep house and techno, future jazz, and downtempo on Namlook's cult imprint Fax Records. Their innovative and influential works keep inspiring electronic music producers today, showcasing their willingness to collaborate and push the boundaries of electronic music. First up on the A side, “Der Strahlender Verlierer”, from the 2006 Album “Let the Circle Not Be Broken”, begins atmospherically before pushing subtly into open filter and undulating synth territory. Introspective and accepting, the piece gradually lets the sum of its parts coalesce into a peaceful whole with sustained chords and the flicker of played steel strings.
“Hardwired Tangent” from the 2001 Album “Wired” rounds out the first side with edgier and more ominous tones. Brooding and bubbling its way through artificial textures absorbed by carefully weighted rhythmic tension. Shuffling jazz electronics. The moody low-mid hum providing buoyancy throughout. Also from the 2001 album, the B side’s “Hardwired Hypotenuse + Asymptote” is a synthetic journey. Textural, pseudo-organic, pulsating with urgency. The motoric percussion imparting structure to the sonic alchemy. Tactile yet integrated components offer the listener (or dancer) multiple entry points into the music. This is both artful and kaleidoscopic — a treatise on contemplative and psychoactive house music.
"Reissued 3" is a true testament to the innovative spirit and pioneering work of Move D and Pete Namlook. With these tracks now available on vinyl for the first time, AWAY's limited series is a must-have for old and new fans alike.

Nico Stojan set up Ouie with his friend and longtime collaborator Acid Pauli as a conduit for the unique and wonderful music they and their friends have become synonymous with. This latest release reaffirms the magical quality the label has cultivated, this time in the form of a teamwork between Nico and David Mayer. 'Fling' kicks off powerfully - a shuffling, organic groove leads the way before synth pads, jazzy piano riffs and a big breakdown amp up the atmosphere. 'Safari' employs a similarly swung, live feel to the groove, before dropping in a breakbeat to take things to the next level. The track builds tension as synths are layered and layered, resulting in a mystical leftfield bomb.

After their successfull collaboration with Get Physical Music REWORK returns with another new dancefloor pleasure release called "Sun" and the following Album "Cue It Back". Sinister synth effected stabs and minimal cold female vocal contributions are still part of their iconic sound. REWORKs minimalist beat and pulsing synth-work still captures an internal glamour combined with cold and Jane Birkin type vocal contributions by various female artists. With a sonic template of their earlier Playhouse tracks REWORK shows their love to club music again on their own label exlove records

Sister label of HouseOnWax.

2024 Repress

Robag Wruhme is well-known for flights of the fantastic; his many productions, remixes and DJ sets act as conversations between melancholic, melodic tenderness, the urgent thrill of dancefloor-ready moments, and the neutralising power of pared-down minimalism. 2015 marks the return of Robag Wruhme to the Pampa Records fold, following the whirlwind of acclaim for his 2011 album Thora Vukk. The intervening years now prove to have been worth the wait: Cybekks EP finds Robag on stunning form yet again. Title track 'Cybekks' leads off with a weighty tread, thundering downwards with heavy drums and robotic feel, but as always with Robag, there is more than initially meets the ear. His signature blend of shifting textures begins to emerge: cloud-like chords of suspenseful pads appear and disappear on the horizon, shuffling high hats appeal directly to the dancing instinct, while gleaming constellations of high-frequency sounds are dotted over the arrangement's second half. 'Anton' returns Robag to melancholic brilliance, with a lilting piano loop and subtle digital trickery that blurs the edges of each note. It is a short reprise with deep emotional impact, and its poignancy remains long after the final fade out. 'Volta Cobby' reinvigorates the classic collision of tech, house and stipped-back body music; exploring a multitude of moods via saw-edged melodies, fast-forward voices, and snatches of cymbals, all expertly combined for a late night trip into what makes a dancefloor tick. 'Anton2 is the the yin to the yang of its predecessor, drawing on electronica with a pastoral feel to finish the EP on an uplifting note, evoking the dreamy, hazy sunrise of a brand new day. This is another thing of brief yet undeniable beauty, with a revealing glimpse towards the end of Robag's songwriting prowess.

Double LP of excellent Detroit / West London influenced cuts. Deepness with the thump. TIP!

"Senga Ferreira is a duo born from the association of Louis Shungu and Chris Ferreira coming together years after meeting on the bench of sound engineering school first, then musicology. Shungu is known as a staple of the underground international hip-hop scene and Chris Ferreira is part of the Belgium club scene, known to be a go to DJ and resident of Brussels groundbreaking dance organisation C12.

The timing couldn’t be more right, with the spare time that was given to them, they took 2020 and 2021 as the opportunity to focus their energy into developing their music and sound universe. They have been exchanging their mutual catalogue, exploring and mixing their influences through the use of sample material and electronic music references.

Developed under the context of the curfew, this very rythmically focused project calls for empty clubs and deep feelings. « Take The Evil Spirit Away » suggests a personal ritual process to expel, unlearn, deconstruct and then to rebuild our self."
