Direct from the Parisian underground STEVE FRISCO returns with an homage to the SERIE LIMITEE vinyl only label created by MONSIEUR CEDRIC & himself. Having established a French connection via JORDAN FIELDS, this hot producer is set to feed the clubs with his flavor of deep vibes. Limited 1-Sider

Romanian imprint Cinetic Art brings forth a selection of carefully selected four tracks to enchant our hearing and keep both our mind and body busy. The mesmerising release kicks off with one of Melodie's fast paced tracks infused with raw electro synths. Teluric's housy groove completes the A side, taking us on a more emotional, smooth journey. On the B side of this white record we discover Lines Of Love - a new face from Cologne. His cut, titled "Hanakotoba" will strongly resonate with all the dub techno enthusiasts out there who are all about tight grooves floating in endless ethereal pads. Melodie's second production on this release completes the four-tracker in a rather dreamy and beat-focused vibex

12",180g, Vinyl Only. Limited copies and no repess!

Pirka's first vinyl comes from Romanian producer Adrianho with a remix by heavyweight dj and producer Arapu. A blend of afterhour music and smashing podium vibes.

Praetorium sets off to probe and explore the boundaries of what music can still be. Withstanding the usual trends and expectations of the scene and cheerfully doing so, we invite you to lend your ears to Modest Ionescu, a lesser known moniker of a dear friend of ours.

An authentic artist album in the truest sense, "Nori de Praf" LP is themed around spacious and precise design, gentle harmonies and narrative complexity.

Finding it difficult to explain it ourselves, we'll let you decide what it is and what it isn't.

Vinyl only.

Around the year 1990, a group of producers gathered regaularly at a space called „Blaues Zimmer“ (Blue Room), located at Bergheimer Strasse, Heidelberg. The Blue Room was the studio of Dirk Mantei aka Dman and David Moufang (Move D) calls it the one of the 'Keimzellen' (seeds) for what would happen in regards to the electronic music movement within the Rhein-Main-Area during the following 10 years. The 90s were roaring, with a lot of mid-sized cities located relatively close to each other- Heidelberg, Mannheim, Ludwigshafen, Darmstadt- and Frankfurt was easily reached. Various highly influential clubs and parties happened around that time and Dirk and David had their parts.

Dirk Mantei & David Moufang, Eric D Clark, Robert Gordon, Nils „Puppetmaster“ Hess, DJ Cle- to name a few- all happen to live in Heidelberg and gather around at Dirks place during this time. Discogs calls Dirk Mantei 'a katalyst figure in the 1990s techno scene of Southern Germany' and this is for a reason. He was running a record store (Dubtools) and threw legendary parties - Planet Bass (Sunday party at Normal, Heidelberg around 1988), Hot Lemonade (Sunday party in Mannheim around 1990). When he moved to Mannheim, Dirk opened the legendary club Milk! (from 1990) out of nothing and later ran another club called HD800 (located in MS Connexion). Both were suited with the same famous - and massive - soundsystem, acquired and tuned by himself. David calls Milk! the birth place of his name Move D as well as Source Records as a label.

Both Davids and Dirks first vinyl release ever was a 12“ they released on Davids Source– called Homeworks 1 – four tracks that were released as one of the first CDs on Source Records a year before. Also "Wired To The Mothership" can be found on this CD compilation, a 32-seconds-long track - and although far too short, it's special. Timeless components weaven together in the most wonderful way - Sheffield-inspired bleeps, timeless pads and detroitish strings, a JXP-3 organ solo, analog drums and a driving analogue bassline- and then it's gone.. When asked, why there wasn't a longer version of the track, David and Dirk said they were not happy with the mixdown back then- so it took them almost 30 years to finally finish a 2021 full version together.
Between 2011 and 2021, they both found themselves in Davids Studio from time to time, Dirk was living in Mannheim and some sessions resulted in a bunch of yet unreleased tracks that slept on harddrives ever since then. We are amazingly happy to share these with the world, to let them tell some more yet hidden stories.

All Tracks are written, produced and mixed by David Moufang and Dirk Mantei between 1992 and 2021.

stuttgart based new producer leif müller's debut release on mule musiq.
his best friend konstantin sibold brought these fantastic music to us.
"fantastique" on a side is chicago house oriented modern german house,
"holidays everywhere" on b1 is hypnotic tech house which reminds us the production of
roman flugel.
"leguan" on b2 is excellent collaboration with konstantin sibold.

Minube & Andrey Djackonda team up to bring together the second instalment of Rawstreet's Waxed imprint. RWXD002 also includes two heavyweight remix's from Direkt & IULY.B. A strong example of the sister labels deeper, raw sound.

The elusive producer 'Nortasun' hasn't released a record since his debut 'One' through SAFT back in 2016. After two years, it's time for a follow up which is fittingly named 'Two'. The track titles also resume in a fashionable manner with the opening track being titled: 'Untitled 3'. On this track, Nortasun introduces a firm rhythm that is supported by the impossibly beautiful strings that serve as the tracks key element and appear throughout. Next up is the 'AntonZap' remix. AntonZap doesn't do the stereotypical remix take on the original. His version is dub laden, otherworldly, and only implements miniscule pieces from the original take. With just under 7 minutes, the remix version is a true sonic voyage.

On the B-Side, Nortasun takes a more dubbed out approach to modern day house music. 'Untitled 4' is a work of precision. The carefully crafted hats and dub elements sizzle throughout the entire track and help the track morph into a stunning piece of dance floor music around the four minute mark. Nortasun cleverly introduces a thumpientire ng bass that changes up the mood for the work.

H2H, the project of Chez Damier and Ben Vedren, teamed up with Ricardo Villalobos for a studio session in Berlin.

We are pumped to share our 7th release: “Snorkeling in Dewsbury” by a fairly new name out of Leeds, Midge Thompson. Another heavy hitter out of the UK (go figure), we first caught wind of him via his release on Butter Side Up (Big shout out to Hamish!) and knew we had to get him on board for his next vinyl output.

He delivered the goods as we expected with a well rounded EP that's an ode to his hometown. The A1, Snorkeling in Dewsbury, is the title track and delivers a punchy but deep, house groove. Fat bass lines, catchy chords and a subtle yet uplifting vocal make this a warm-up killer. For the A2, Snorkeling in Dewsbury gets a rework by our Italian brother Paolo Mosca. He puts his own twist on the title track with a progressive arrangement that eventually erupts into a dance floor weapon that is begging for a dark, sweaty room. Heads down, hands up.

On the flipside you get “Sometimes You Can” a hi-hat and sub-bass driven, deep yet techy, track akin to the golden age of 90’s house music with timeless minimal vocals and swing. To round out the EP, you get Hot Rod, a slow-building, big room slammer that’s patiently waiting for club’s to re-open.

repressed !

After constributing a superb remix for Ricardo last year (PERL69-1), we are happy to announce the first solo 12~ from mister Proper for Perlon.
