After a series of fiery releases on his own Depths of My Soul, Berlin-based producer Nat Wendell kicks off his newly minted sub-label Depths by getting right down to business.

For 001, he’s invited two East Coast mainstays, Mike Terra and Jus’ Nowhere, creating a snapping EP focused on groove and rhythm that directly foreshadows the future of the label.

Opening the proceedings is Terra’s rolling, addicting “Moonshine,” which functions as a wonderful tribute to the best of the Big Apple’s deep sounds.

Next up is “Harlesden,” Wendell’s own contribution, a whacked out number that draws you into its waify pads and bubbling baseline and keeps you there.

Rounding off the EP in style is D.C-based Jus Nowhere, whose “Swingin’” is a typically tight and kinetic closer.

Cabaret Recordings 23nd release by Innershades.

Berlin-based producer Rampue has not released an album in 14 (in words: fourteen) years. Between 2008 and 2020 he toured the world and worked mainly on his live sets in the meantime. So now only a worldwide pandemic had the power to prevent the traveling musician from continuing this hustle and bustle and eventually share a new record with the public. Corona was what brought this standstill and the otherwise well- traveled individual experiences cabin-fever during lockdown. Hence, the new Rampue album "Tragweite" came into existence in February 2021, which portrays the artist's desire for experimentation.
Inspired by a modular synthesizer (Buchla), Rampue has seemingly put himself into a kind of trance, in which he lets the machines work and combines randomly created sounds with airy structures such as low drums or simple grooves. Rampue accomplished to break free by using random sounds as a new impulse and a way out of a creative crisis, which stemmed both from the enforced home isolation and from the self-perceived paralysis. The result is literally unique, as many of the sound products cannot be reconstructed and are preserved in album form for the general public.
Listening to "Tragweite" one gets the impression that the dialectical relationship between chaos and order, further supported by its production, is the defining theme of the album. After an initially perceived chaos, a delicate order, which is determined by structuring drum patterns and basslines, takes over throughout the course of the album.
Later, it frays and loses itself again in sounds and tones created mechanically However, it never seems arbitrary, but willful and skillfully staged. For instance, "Furo?" begins with apparent arrhythmia. The combination of bass and subtle percussion, however, gives this arrhythmia a shape, guiding the track which gradually becomes more and more driving without losing its original playfulness.
Although one might be inclined to think of genres such as Downtempo or Ambient at the beginning in the further course of the album results in such a diverse sound and rhythmic landscape that one willingly questions one's own perception of music while listening and finally throws every type of categorization overboard joyfully. The listening experience is too intoxicating and enlightening to stick to simple genre boundaries. The musical spectrum ranges from straight arrangements that live entirely without a drum foundation ("Fu?r Dich") to almost meditative sound collages ("Regengesicht") to the four-to-the-floor banger "Kembang" which adds a grimmer note with a certain industrial appeal to the overall rather melancholic-progressive curation. "Direct Faden" on the other hand, surprises with its simple guitar-based foundation on which the omnipresent synth snippets and pads are allowed to let off steam towards the end of the record. The track that most closely combines the progressive production style with a danceable club atmosphere is probably "Phobia". Wafting, partly breaking away synthesizer sounds rise higher and higher, while the driving mixture of bass and drums consistently march forward.
Rampue breaks with his old, musical habits as "Tragweite" creates the impression of improvisation and jam character without getting lost. Rampue takes his listeners on a journey that is stirring and moving, sometimes demanding or even a bit disturbing, yet always one thing: incredibly exciting.

On the way is the release of the eighth disc from the young artist from Bucharest Rares Romanov. In a short time, Rares managed to releases on iconic labels and play a large number of sets in different parts of the world. Single > Saints and Suicide EP < includes three original tracks, where a full range of musical rhythms, non-standard moves and a great atmosphere are presented, and the release also includes an equally driving remix from the owner of the b/plr records of the mysterious VLF.

PIV040 takes us down under with the experienced Australian producer Somersault. The A-side "Vision" creates an instant blissful summer feel with smooth keys as its main component. On the remix, British giant Jimpster delivers another authentic touch, which gives the track a completely new feeling. On the B side "Speculate" goes for a deeper composition with a lovely rhythm arrangement and stabs that seduce the senses, before "Switch" finishes off this allround package with a more contemporary groove.

180gram double vinyl release

Beautifully realised modern house double vinyl EP by Romanian artist Pirvu (Sunrise / Club Guesthouse).

Oana delivers the third vinyl-only instalment to arrive from the Romanian record label feeder sound. Oana is well-known for her vibrant selections and productions, as well as for running Ariki Records. Titled “Transmisiune Intergalactică”, the 12’’ packs three solid minimalistic tracks designed with deep and futuristic rhythms and textures, ready to take you on a journey into inner and outer space!

With previous two releases signed by local artists Dragutesku and Piktor, feeder sound stands out as an essential platform that connects to an international community focused on modern electronic music and art, alternative news, multimedia and events for about 16 years. The collaboration with Oana follows the feeder sound live-streaming event series that took place last year, where she unleashed magical and engaging sounds in one of the episodes of the transmissions alongside visual artist Livi Po, who performed a live-painting session. Livi Po's artwork is now featured as the artwork for feeder sound's third vinyl release.

Side A is reserved for the title track “Transmisiune Intergalactică”, an immersive composition that goes past the 10 minutes mark, revealing a steady-paced drumming sequence smoothly blended with vast, ever-evolving background atmospheres and spiralling psychedelic effects. Make sure you tune in to those kinds of frequencies!
On Side B, first there’s “Conexiuni Astrale”, a hypnotic piece that focuses on its percussive elements and strong bassline, offering a twisted sound with numerous variations and build-ups. Subtle breakbeat and acidic influences are felt throughout, as the bleeping synth patterns and heavily modulated vocal cuts evoke an otherworldly dimension. Closing the wax, “Holograma” switches the tempo and drops an uplifting rhythm infused with funky arrangements and a sublime universe of electric micropatterns that will definitely make you shake your body and dance ecstatically!

Almost exactly three years after NR&, a project uniting &ME's and Rampa's production with the voice of New York Disco-House-siren
Nomi, dropped their debut EP, we finally can announce a new chapter in this ongoing transatlantic menage. This very 'Spoken For'
EP is comprised of two new tracks, that again fuse songwriting with floor-demands and showcase the same crackling and pulse
quickening passion that instantly has become NR&'s trademark. So here's the evidence - a long distance relationship is not
necessarily doomed to get boring after a while.
'Taste Like' on A might be conceived as the club-affair of those two new joints. A tune indulging in self-control, extending the pre-
eruptive moment of excitement to track length. There is Nomi's unmistakeable sexed up oration, flanked by an affirmative
thunderstorm of claps, then a bass heavy bridge, overflowing into a noise brushed finale. Altogether a tasty flavour carrier for an
effective floor heating.
'Spoken For' is not only the title track, but also the hymn coming out of the flipside ambush. There is no kick necessary to underpin
what Nomi's charismatic croon is laying down. Therefore a wise choice to let the arrangement of interspersed field recordings,
percussive details and piano- and synth-decoration exercise in unobtrusiveness. Safe to say, this tune will refine many future
peaktimes anyway.

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

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.

Unic have carved out an enviable reputation over the last year for championing resolutely unique artists and sounds. Here they launch their vinyl only label with an equally impressive array of sonic flavours. Four artists each experience an other worldly vision and utilise their formidable musical gifts to translate it into musical form.

Early support from: Ada Kaleh, David Gtronic, TIJN, Nils Weimann, Vlad Arapasu, Herck, Crihan, Halo Varga, Tulbure, Teluric, IULY.B, Shoxy & Dudley Strangeways.

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 !

Caposile Music guys are proud to present their third release.
The EP is produced by Alessio Viggiano, the international producer and DJ that have been hosted many times at After Caposile.
Alessio shares his “history” as producer with three unreleased tracks, that go from the deep house of Astral Impact to the tech house of Magic Mountain, always maintaining his unique style, clearly expressed on the track We Will Go Dance Together, the track that has been chosen by the French duo Oden & Fatzo for an unmissable remix.

The bass and the overwhelming vocal make this last track the most important one of the EP, that is, with Oden & Fatzo remix, an unmissable EP.

For Intercontinental Dance Organization's (IDO) third release, Astrometric Effect EP, sees the label's founder Valentino Mora collaborating for the first time with experimental Japanese musician Yoshitake Expe. The EP comprises of 2 hypnotic house tracks with tribal percussions created through live improvisation between the pair and a third track, an effective dub version by Valentino Mora.

Are You Happy?
What would is what we should be doing. Sort out our sorry lives despite obstacles, imaginary or real, does not matter what you feel. We are cornered, floored, bored, abhorred. So do it or die. Do it or die. Hear hear, make do battlecry.

“A Cómeme classic that was ahead of its time finds a new life in fresh mixes by Matias Aguayo and Ricardo Villalobos”

In a surprising turn of events Cómeme reissues Matias Aguayo’s “El Camarón” from his album “The Visitor” (2013) in a new 12” extended club mix including a remix of none other than Ricardo Villalobos. The latter suggested to give this forgotten latin new beat gem a new life! He had recently rediscovered it, and added to his sets - including his own 12 minute fabulous remix, which is driven by a mesmerizing groove and pumpin sub bass frequencies.

Aguayo then decided to also rework “El Camarón” with an extended soundsystem - friendly mix, that will move the feet of dance music lovers from all kind of biospheres!

The lyrics tell the story of an old river shrimp that accidentally joins a boat party. The ball starts in the guaraní jungle to later continue along the ivory coast, featuring super colour range towels, buzzing mosquitos, monkeys, parrots, piranhas, mermaids, and more. The shrimp becomes the star of the night by introducing new ways of dancing that make every one go down, down, down, abajo, abajo, abajo…

Alleria’s first appearance on Nervmusic Records

La Collectionneuse is the third studio album by Carsten Jost.

Next up on Serii Speciale we have another talent from Argentina , Suinyl, 12" limited press on transparent wax

The second instalment of the Arupa Music Vinyl Limited release presents Bexu, an artist who derives from Cluj-Napoca, North Western Romania. Bexu’s discography has grown steadily over the past few years, and we are super proud to make an addition in physical format.



Title track Calatoria entices mystery from the get go, an artistic soundscape of dreamy, uplifting pads with chugging bass and sharp driving percussion. The hypnotic vocal eagerly anticipating an answer, rightly deserves provoking sequel (part two).



‘Doru Lenii’ is a different approach to the dreamy off kilter nature of the Calatoria tracks. A driving, instructive vocal, builds anticipation and delivers sonic answers for questions asked, chords progress as the track builds, heavy synths drive the track forward and into conclusive territory. A true tale of the sun & moon; day into night, and back into day again.



Crihan’s interpretation of ‘Calatoria responds in true B side fashion, responding with a bounce and giving direction to the adventure mystified in the title track. Off kilter percussion, a focused bassline, vocal converses with ‘Cataloria’, natural production techniques give a truly organic feel. This release disperses absolute warmth.

Sono Unica Records welcomes Romanian maestro Nu Zau for the fourth release - Future Self EP. With his three hypnotic tracks Nu Zau brilliantly adds to the Sono Unica releases.

Landmarks and milestones are always memorable, but the 50th EP release on FUSE feels that little bit more special as head honcho Enzo Siragusa steps up to the mark and returns for the second time this year. Having launched the label in 2011 with his now iconic ‘The Sagamore’ EP, the renowned selector and producer has grown and shaped the FUSE from a Sunday after-hours to one of the most notable names within house and techno worldwide - anchoring the label at the heart of its identity and bringing its trademark sound to an international audience. Following material from original residents Rich NxT, Rossko, Seb Zito and Archie Hamilton through to regular guests and close friends such as Guti, East End Dubs, Michael James and Fabe, October sees Siragusa showcase both his and FUSE’s evolution over the past decade as he uncovers two bustling productions across his ‘Dreamscape’ EP.

A production oozing with his signature sound, yet introducing fresh subtleties in amongst the track’s snaking groove and hypnotic melodies, ‘Dreamscape’ welcomes a title cut full of energy as the FUSE boss picks up right where he left off to provide yet more heavily requested material on home turf. On the flip, ‘Bean That Talks’ sees Siragusa get playful while maintaining the vigour of his bustling live sets, combining chunky low-ends with skippy percussion and rich pads to showcase precisely why he and FUSE continue to flourish as leaders of a sound that they can truly call their own.

Say hello to the great debut of artist Nukohl hailing from the wonderful Leipzig, Germany. His six tracks been a collection of the last years of his work. A beautiful and melancholic electro ride through time and space.

It's still hard to keep up with all of Burnski's many different labels, but we're not complaining. This one, Constant Black, mixes up things with a tech and minimal twist and next to do so is Daniel Akbar. 'What' soon wins you over with its kinetic and infectious drum programming and smart samples - a phased vocal and a twisted synth lead. 'Retreat' gets more physical - the drums bang with an old-school flavour and hint of tribalism. 'Listen' is a big fat tech roller with low slung bass and 'This One' rounds out with some brilliant drum, hits and brain-frying bass sounds. Pow pow, what a record.

SYNSTH 005 is ready!

This time Daniel Gorziza comes with a totally new sound from what we were all been used with till now. This one has beatiful mixed sounds of Breakbeat with other influences coming from the electronic music genres!

RAWAX IS PROUD TO WELCOME MR. K-ALEXI SHELBY TO THE FAMILY!
Mr. K Alexi Shelby
Like a moth drawn to a flame, there is something utterly infectious about the music of Mr.K Alexi Shelby, better known as K-Alexi one of the founding fathers of house music direct from his home city of Chicago. Since the late 1980s, he has pioneered the true house sound, leading to a DH and production career spanning over 20 years, including collaborations with artists ranging from The Pet Shop Boys to Derrick May and from Larry Heard and Felix da Housecat to Will Smith, as well as gigs across the globe.
An impressionable young teenager, Mr.K Alexi Shelby developed friendships with Frankie Knuckles and Ron Hardy whilst attending seminal venues like The Warehouse and The Music Box in the mid 1980s. Being here at this embryonic stage of dance music culture, there were no rules or precedents, so K Alexi drew on a rich musical heritage that had seen him grow up in the 70s and 80s listening to Stevie Wonder, Prince, Curtis Mayfield and David Huff. Those roots continue to influence his music to this day.
It was under the moniker Risque III that Essence Of A Dream was released in 1987, firmly establishing the name of Mr.K Alexi Shelby amongst the most prominent of all house producers at the time. Moreover, those early tracks are still recognized to be the quintessential Chicago house sound. The rumbling and dark bass, smooth strings, incredible percussion and the spoken word poetic and erotic lyrical flow became the trademark for classic Chicago house and the template for everything else that followed. To reiterate, there was no template before this. This was the beginning.
This initial success has lead to Mr.K Alexi Shelby working with the leading names across the electronic music world and beyond. Collaborations and remixes for Chicago peers like Mike Dunn, Mr. Lee and Marshall Jefferson merely served as the springboard for Alexi to work with the best in the electronic scene, from Derrick May to Paul Johnson ,Ron Trent Dave Angel to Felix ad House Kat. Furthermore, his talents have also lead to him working with The Pet Shop Boys and Will Smith.
On top of this, his tracks have appeared on compilations by artists varying from Laurent Garnier to DJ Hell, who used It's Me 2010 contribution to the Body Language series for Get Physical Music. Produced under the Club M.C.M. moniker, the 1991 EP It's Me/Club M.C.M. has been a frequent selection for compilations for 20 years and is rightly regarded as a true underground techno classic.

First release from Purple Print featuring Sepp.

Assemble Music brings together four more producers at the forefront of today's fine minimal/house/electro scene. Eklo boss Seuil kicks things off with JAM, a slowly-unfolding confection of metallic percussion and rolling bass set against a meditative, minor backdrop. His fellow Half Baked resident Robin Ordell brings a tipsy-sounding vibe to MOBSIW, each element swaying its way around the others in an off-key dance. Les Points' Barbir adds Detroit hats to a no-shits-given breakbeat and suspends it in time, before finally a 4/4 kick comes to put feet back on the ground. Finally, Traffic founders Martyné and Jacob draw on more contemporary breaks and electro influences on ELECTRONETTO, with that laissez-faire swing with which their label has become synonymous.

Vinyl only - no words needed. First come/ First serve!

Tooflez Muzik is a Berlin based label that stretches the boundaries and borders of are presenting their first vinyl release by label head Danielle Arielli.

A1: “Can U Feel It”, is a perfect description of Danielle’s take on acid house.
Characterized by synth stabs and acid lines in combination with mesmerising vocals by Adora Odilli make this the perfect dance floor filler.

A2: The “Backseat Mix”, can be used as a bass bumping DJ tool or a soundtrack for the sheets, focusing on vocals backed up by funky percs and smooth melody.

B1: “Gettem Down”, brings us back to the dance floor. Rolling acid basslines, cheeky drums and a funky vocal cut, make this an excellent prime time number.

B2: The River”, takes you on a a deep journey as the chords and synth lines develop. It is a definite deep groover supported once again by singer Adora Odilli.
Saving the best for last, as they say…

A1. Ben Jones lands back on his own imprint this time with his energised drums and modulated fx to make up the floor slamming ‘Playback’

A2. Julian Anthony AKA ‘The Organizer’ delivers his signature sound with bumping baselines and 90s style euphoric synths throughout. ‘Retrograde’ is here!

B2. Cooper Dodge finishes off the release with A.D.T a groover of skippy drums, deep chords and trippy vocals, perfect for any warm up set!

Long-awaited “Uritorco Reworks” e.p. has finally landed.

Argentinian veterans Franco Cinelli and Ernesto Ferreyra teamed up to rework an old Ernesto’s classic.

Franco has been playing the original version for years and got the idea to remix it just for them to play. The result is so good that they wanted to share and release it as an e.p.

Romania’s Victor Stancov returns to his own Simple Tracks with its second release, entitled ‘Bagnols Shuffle’ and accompanied by a remix from Cynosure’s Mike Shannon.

Victor Stancov launched his Simple Tracks imprint in 2020 with an EP from himself, featuring a remix from Perlon trio Wareika. Perfectly setting the tone for the imprint which leans towards slick, refined house grooves with a micro house twist. Here the story continues with the label’s second release once again retaining this aesthetic and keeping things bouncy and playful.

Title-track ‘Bagnols’ Shuffle’ leads the release, merging shuffled drums and glitched out percussion with fluttering stab sequences and oft, billowing pad lines. ‘Nothing Wrong With Going Back’ follows and brings a more loop-driven feel courtesy of driving rides, rolling snares and bumpy bass running alongside cinematic strings and bright stabs.

Opening the flip-side is ‘Georgie’s Units’, a dubbed-out house groove fuelled by echoing chords, rumbling toms and crunchy drums. Lastly Cynosure head honcho rounds out the release with his take on ‘Georgie’s Units’, treating us to a typically twisted take on the original with mind bending modulations, intricately nuanced bass tones, whirling synths and skippy hats throughout.

Acidfonk and Eme Kulhnek – two of our favorite shooting stars join forces on our next Symbiostic Vinyl.

After Digital Releases in the past (SYMB043 Identity Module EP and SYMB034 We need to EP) the idea was born to bring both together for a collaboration and their first physical release. The Split EP contains besides the Original Tracks each a remix of their counterpart and showcase why both gain wide recognition with their style of modern crafted techno music by artists worldwide as Richie Hawtin, Dubfire and Marco Carola. We couldn´t be more proud to have both for this unique result. Enjoy!

Finishing off the initial "series" of Krab's vinyl-only records in style, KRB003 centres around 3 signature cuts from German duo Cedric Dekowski & Felix Reifenberg and a stellar remix from Yamen & Eda. The EP divulges into the multi-genre capabilities and eclectic nature of the HardWorkSoftDrink label owners, as there are seamless transition between genres, modular synths and all things in between are highlighted throughout the label's latest record.

Starting off with a slow burner, Act 1 is a hypnotic listen, formed around strung out sounds, glitchy breakdowns and a captivating overlaying melody. Laus highlights the pairs unique ability to shift genres seamlessly as they deliver a cut full of heavy hitting acid and emotion heavy synths suitable for any dance floor.

Internet dial up appears the theme throughout the B-side, as Feelsliker delivers a fast paced minimal roller that is stacked to the brim with bleeps, bloops and modular madness. Finishing off the record is a remix from French Duo Yamen & Eda, a pair of artists that boast a distinguished taste for electronic music. Dance floor ready, B2 is constructed around a heavy hitting bass line and an assembly of inimitable modular synths.
