Acid trips of a Sued kind.

the new release on raum musik !! contains a remix by daniel stefanik !!!

Co-Founder of The Galactic Shelf Records and resident DJ for MODU:LAR - Nerram is a Liverpool-based artist that's been making music and DJing for over six years. Having spent this time carefully refining his productions and growing a unique record collection; he's built up an edgy style based around original, rare house music and punchy minimal. Nerram is an exciting UK artist embarking on the next stage of his career.

Nerram launches The Galactic Shelf with a debut 3-track EP including a remix by Voigtmann. Combining driving, futuristic sounds with deep grooves and breaks - this trio of cosmic cuts come dancefloor-ready and represent the artist's diverse sound encapsulated. Enigmatic and Micron on the A side are an Odyssey through big basslines and twisting synths, followed up by the experimental, spacey Round and Round on B1. Completing the release is an altogether different interpretation of the first B side track by Voigtmann - a grooving, stripped-back outro by this excellent producer.

Captain Derek Carr joins Into The Deep forces through its third intergalactic journey. The gifted man is well known for his unrivalled sound incursions in the early 00's.In command of the expedition, Derek unveils a classy 4 titles EP blending his detroit-influenced trademark sounds, lush synths, electro syndrome & droning basslines. It results in a futuristic journey by convoying us to a rave somewhere on Mars before the dawn.

The first track, Moaning, has a linear feeling at the beginning: a layer of bass lines makes your feet move instantly until some subtle piano sounds come in at the perfect moment. It creates an atmospheric vibe and when the bass kicks in again, everything seems to fall into place. Cosmjn's interpretation is, as expected, more serious and it has a no-nonsense approach: stripped of the melodic piano sounds, a strong bass line takes over, which makes for an interesting contrast to the original track.

If Moaning was a more gentle track, Fr Sa Su is a little bit different: dance floor oriented, the rhythm is certainly higher and it has some intriguing background sounds that go hand in hand with the powerful bass that grows on you from the start of the track. The Florian Meffert remix closes this EP and it goes out on a strong note: it is a complex track with very different elements and sounds that complement each other just right to get things going.

With early support from: Barac, Mihigh, Dubtil , Cristi Cons, Petre Inspirescu , Sepp , Crihan

There are no boundaries for Fun Records when it comes to continue spreading its refreshing sounds beyond trends and predictable beats.That's why this fifth release welcomes Mariano Mateljan, the infamous Croatian DJ, producer and one of the most talented and recognized electronic music artists of the country and abroad. Nibong (Fun 005) comes out with 4 tracks, traced by the analog frizzly details that have been characterizing every Fun's release. But there is even more behind the pristine minimalistic house signed by Mateljan and pressed on both vinyl's side: we can say that this time, Fun's got a bit more serious (just a bit, don't misunderstand us): Nibong EP enters directly to the highest clubbing experience but shaped as only Mateljan could make it. Listening to Thetea track on the B side will make you difficult to stand still without letting yourself go and stop thinking for a while in order to let your imagination emerge: enjoy the amenity of subtle feelings rising as the dreamy and slightly broken melody develops catching your attention. Lotus, the second B side track, may be the most ethereal one, and both together leave us having fun and feeling sensitive as if the sunset would catch ups by surprise on the beach. If you want to explore the also funny but darker side, the A side may be like the taoist yin conception, only understandable if yang is magically kept in Lotus and Thetea. And that's the clue of Mateljan's superb productions: Slippery Slope and Nibong's A tracks are well balanced, but at the same time the release has its own balance too. The result has generated a complex but coherent structure that keeps making you feel addicted to the sounds, no matter how many times you play and dance to them. 'Life isn't as serious as the mind makes it out to be.' Eckhart Tolle

Antique Fragments EP is the third release of our Kommuna Tapes imprint. The A side starts with a quirky fast-paced track created by a mysterious producer named Schematix in 1997. Thinktank, an electro/breakbeat act who signed his first and unique EP only a few years later in 2000, takes us on a punchy yet dreamy techno journey. On the flip side, after Schematix undusted his hardware to extract the stems for the occasion, wizard Sergio Moreira mastered the challenge of creating a slower and deeper version of the track, while upcoming Madrid talent Javier Moreno closes the release with a bouncy acid burner.

Track by track, we build a Kommuna of artists who share our insatiable appetite for music discovery, guided by a certain vision of the dancefloor: deep stripped-down grooves, sometimes challenging, always with character.

Max Loderbauer, who has so far made consistently engaging contributions to the Arjunamusic family, is back to lend his unique interpretive skills to the master recordings for the Brightbird album by João Paulo Esteves da Silva, Mário Franco and Samuel Rohrer. Loderbauer has set himself up for a chal- lenge, since the original album's completely improvised flow of small-ensemble, conversational jazz feels complete enough without outside intervention. However, Loderbauer's role as electronics operator in the similarly attuned Ambiq trio has already shown that, through his mastery of tone color, he has a talent for teasing out the additional hidden details within an apparently 'complete' sonic environment. It's a task he mana- ges to accomplish without ever overriding or contradicting the cohesive message provided by his collaborators.

Adding to the challenge here, Loderbauer chooses to re- mix using only sounds from the original recordings. By doing so, it might seem he is willfully denying himself the chance to use his own signature tools and turn Brightbird's source materi- al into stunningly new electro-acoustic hybrid blooms. Yet Loderbauer succeeds here by becoming something more like a translator than an augmenter - he finds a way to make mea- ningful syntactical changes to the trio's rich and versatile vo- cabulary, and once again unveils a verdant world of hidden details in the process.

The A-side 'Trusting Heart/Cosmos' has an anxious tone introduced by a set of Doppler-effected piano notes that seem to melt in the sun, and is soon complemented by a va- riegated, chattering rhythm line. Here Loderbauer builds up a tactile tension between rhythmic certainty and sharp-angled, de-tuned, and occasionally scrambled instrumentation, framing a disorienting (yet engaging) virtual space where ob- jects' bright hues rapidly change as they contract and expand along multiple dimensions. For the b-side 'Noontide', Lo- derbauer switches to a more focused and streamlined idiom with an uncanny ease, riding along steady waves of sequencer patterning and silvery, resonant shiverings. Reverberating, ho- lographic piano again provides the tonal center here, and the notes ring with a forward-thinking optimism not far removed from classics of the 'Krautrock' era.

Current supporters of all the artists involved will find this to be an invigorating synopsis of their work to date, while newcomers will be treated to a soundworld where skillful fu- sion (the act itself, rather than the music genre with the same name) is constantly on display.

Since The Debut In 2011, The Swedish Music Project Pro424 Has Combined Complex Modular Synth Based Sounds With Strong Melodies Resembling The Synth Genre. At The Same Always With A Firm Stance In Techno And Underground Culture And Always With Desire To Perform The Music Live. The Previous Album "immune", Released In 2014, Became One Of Lamours Most Sold Albums Ever And Was Compared To Historic References Such As Tangerine Dream And Underworld, But Also Richie Hawtin. The New Album Is A Thematic Prequel To "immune" And Is Set In A Light And Hopeful Soundscape Which For Some Reason Collapses. Behind Pro424 Is Stockholm Based Artist And Producer Maximilian Karlander, Who Aside From Music Is A Bioengineer.

Shaun Reeves & Tuccillo present a new facet of their ongoing collaborative efforts, with a collection of works that took root in the woods of Ibiza. SHANTU's first record opens with 'Primero', a classy ride through dreamy melodic elements and a relaxed groove with a steadily rising pace. 'Ingenue' moves things into 2nd gear with a deep and funky bassline that is soon propelled further with a variety of organic percussion elements. The long B side 'Zissou' would certainly be at home in the team Zissou minimalist playlist, a mysterious and psychedelic underwater trip populated with strange echoed synths and steady precision drum machine work.

Next release on the mysterious Swoon

Colourful Recordings welcome a new addition to the family with Amsterdam crew Dilated Pupils dropping Quantum Space EP. A record setting a mark both sonically and musically with its warm thick sound signature and diverse track selection. If the A side is dreamy with floating textures and minimal grooves, B side is more earthy and straight up housy, yet still with a strong musical identity.

Debut release from Ukraine based label Fakedtunes.

Vivus Records, the underground South German label, invites London-based and RLZ Music label boss Rowlanz for an acid-infused journey thourghout some minimal streets.

Having received constant support from the likes of Gescu, Barac or Archie Hamilton, Rowlanz is a name you should keep an eye on in the future and it is fitting that he has decided to collaborate with Melodie, a young Romanian prodigy that has had a quite meteoric rise in the past year.

We kick things off with Laniakea which is full of brisk grooves with just a pinch of an acid feeling to it that will get you moving accordingly. The hi-hats and subtle bassline complete each other to a mesmerising effect and the background sounds give a lovely deepness to the track.

The stunning vocals on 312 act as a reminder that you can always expect a surprise from Rowlanz and he is in full creative mode here. You can almost imagine the radiant energy boost that this track would give to dance floor enthuasiasts after a long night with a dark atmosphere.

Melodie's interpretation of 312 has the Romanian's trademark sound all over it: acid sounds covered with a strong but linear bassline that floats all over the song.

Second mysterious vinyl only release by Ouvert we selected 4 tracks with house/techno elements.
Just 300 copy (no re-press).

To celebrate two decades of Skylax Records and a long musical partnership, DJ Sprinkles and Hardrock Striker team up as S.H.E. (SKYLAX HOUSE EXPLOSION) to present the first of three exclusive vinyl releases accompanying the Mix CD for the 20 Years Compilation. All three EPs feature previously unreleased music personally curated by DJ Sprinkles and Hardrock Striker. Under The Garage presents all new music from Move D, Jason Grove & Merwyn Sanders, An Expresso and Signal St as a referential homage to the 80s club of New York City; a space that commercially paved the way for the evolution of dance music (music of the 'house') as well as spaces around which queer communities could feel safe - all to the sounds of DJs like Larry Levan and Frankie Knuckles. Jason Grove is a long-time collaborator with Skylax, along with Signal St who has released on its sub label - Wax Classic - as Garage Shelter, but for Move D, it is his first outing on the imprint. Move D is one of the few veteran deep house DJs still touring consistently having started out in the early nineties. Of course he is synonymous with more than just house music, but when he operates within the boundaries of the genre, the German producer's sound allies closely with both the Skylax imprint and the DJ Sprinkles record bag; the latter, known to feature many of his tracks including Your Personal Healer making David Moufang's presence on the compilation all the more relevant. Sharing the A side with Move D and collaborating with Jason Grove is the highly adept Merwyn Sanders from Chicago who, most recently, reissued the in-demand 2000 (And We're Still Here) EP featuring the deep house ear worm, Mimi Likes To Dance. Grove's slamming-but-smooth style is ever-present as is Merwyn's taste for sleek production hooks, which can be found throughout Deep in Your Heart. Out of Anaheim in California, An Expresso was signed 5 years ago to Skylax but has already cut his teeth on a few high profile records in house as well as garage and hip hop. His aptly named cut on the compilation, Club Called The Garage opens the mix by DJ Sprinkles, its ghostly reverberated vocal samples are ominously placed as if coming from a place of remembrance (as distinct from nostalgia); moving and dark, especially from a producer so young. The processes of the post-industrial consumer society in which you most likely reside have made the remembrance of small, queer spaces as they pertain to the origin of once-hyper specific genres virtually impossible. We are sold a narrative that relates less to the origins of such marginalised communities and more to what major distributors have decided will sell. It is only through the work of labels like Skylax Records and DJ Sprinkles' Comatonse Recordings that the origins of house music find their way into the record bags of contemporary DJs. Skylax has a long relationship with DJ Sprinkles and since its early days of Parisonic, has always maintained: Stay Underground, It Pays! One part of three releases, Under The Garage accompanies Under The Loft and Under The Ballroom; three pieces of the SKYLAX HOUSE EXPLOSION 20 Year Compilation

The second Modugroove installment from the 100Hz studio is a mixture of live improvised session recordings and arranged music taken also from live studio recordings. 2 tracks are collaboration projects with good friends of mine who happen to be great artists. We have 1 from Richard Rogers aka Black Booby and myself and 1 from Julian Giles and me aka Junction Chaos. This 4 track Ep spans several styles of music from deep Techno to graceful and emotive string dance. The focus of the EP and the label is the unusual, trying to not use usual drum patterns and 4 beat structures,

It's been 10 years since Efdemin's debut mix-cd "Carry On, Pretend We're Not In The Room" and its single "America". Back in 2008 it ended up on the first place in the Groove chart, but for some reason we never had it remixed. With Efdemin's second mix-cd and the accompanying "Move Your Head" EP now scheduled for mid April, we'd like to announce this 'Minimal Detroit' mix from Terrence Dixon to close things off in style. On the flipside there's a DJ Koze edit of Efdemin's "Acid Bells" classic that was too good not to share.

For the second Vinyl release, we welcome on board Silat Beksi - that drops 2 amazing original tracks that includes a collaboration track with Corsu. On the remix duties we welcome - Nima Gorji who brings his exceptional remix into this massive Ep named Rumble

Continuing in the same fashion the Tupiar Records Wax Collection we welcome Florian Meffert on our fourth vinyl masterpiece - Decent EP. A driven individual in his passion for experimental music, with roots in Frankfurt(DE), that matchless sound and impeccable techniques as a producer are serving as an example for precise and inspirational music. One of those artists that disconnect from the real world escaping into a new world while the creative flow takes over, outgrowing himself at full speed with releases on labels like Sakadat, Mood24, Capodopere, Ensis Black, Inwave to name a few. He worked with Vicentiulian, Arapu, Suolo, Yaroslav Lenzyak, Kaitaro and many more who support his style, now expressing him self with industrial synths & breaks in Decent (A1), taking us on a journey of soundwaves all the way to his darkest corners of imagination, filled with liquid textures & ambiental backgrounds of minimalistic depth. Yet we are driven into nebulous passages through intriguing bells and whistles echoing from the misty sounds of Upset and Natshe original mixes of the upcoming 2PR deejay.
On the B side we find pleasure in the analog remix carved beautifully by experimented Alan Castro from Argentina, spotted on labels like Bodyparts & Arupa Records. Putting his DNA into Decent, Alan exceeds continuous experimentation charged with sensibility and passion for his work, letting all the melodies and kick join together to make us dance and travel through sounds with all its power, resulting this exquisite happy end to this 12 inch release mastered by Maurice Giovannini.
To top it of in our artistic approach, we bring you this unique 100% romanian cover, "Necromæns" painted with acrylics on canvas by talented Anita Frâncu. Many untold stories lay hidden under the strokes of the young painter, besides the aphotic site of this artwork that matches perfectly the overall design concept of Mihai Dafinoiu - responsible for the image of Tupiar Records & Tupiar Limited Record Labels.

We are extremely proud and excited to announce our first Sheffield artist on CPU - 96 Back aka Evan Majumdar-Swift. Swift has delivered a 4 track electro EP with a strong bleep and bass influence. Coming from bleep lineage with Swift being the son of legendary Jive Turkey promoter Matt Swift, these tracks are a cutting-edge interpretation of Sheffield's electronic music heritage. To celebrate this Steel City release on CPU one of the founders of Warp, and Fon studio engineer, Rob Gordon has mastered the tracks.

We've been closely watching the rise of A Sagittariun ever since he first popped up with his consistently excellent Elastic Dreams label back in 2011. What started out as an anonymous project has since been revealed as the handiwork of Nick Harris, a long time champion of the Bristol house and techno scene since before most of us were even hitting the dance. His music has been flying out with a no nonsense approach - self-released, minimal promo, just cracking club-ready 12"s that tap into the fierce-but-fun spirit of Detroit techno and albums loaded with smokers delights to appease his West Country roots.

"Pseudo Science" wastes no time in imparting a message of bristling kinetic energy for peak time situations. This is maximal techno of the highest order, firing off a body-popping beat, a dazzlingly bright set of chords and a delirious lead that cuts through like the house lights being thrown on in a darkened basement four hours before closing time. There's a confidence that bursts out of this track that could only come from someone who has earned his stripes in the cut and thrust of what can at times be a fickle dance music scene.

"Heavy Manners" plays a foil to this boisterous A-side without dipping the energy levels. Sagi still has his pedal to the metal, but this time he winds through mystical, filter sweeping pads that hark back to synth rich early 90s trance séances of the highest caliber. The bubbling 303 only further fuels this sense of psychoactive flashback, and the hypnotic film sample provides the perfect icing on the cake. Leave your functional subtleties at the door, this is loud and proud body and mind music transmitting from the part of a soul still stomping in a field somewhere near the M25 orbital.

Die Stadt Jena in Thüringen steht seit den 90igern für einen subkulturellen Melting Pot in der Provinz mit malerischer Landschaft. Von den Kreidefelsen hallen Namen wie Kassablanca als Veranstaltungsort, Plattenladen Fatplastics, die Label Freude am Tanzen und Musikkrause, sowie Musiker wie Wighnomy Brothers (Robag Wruhme & Monkey Maffia), Krause Duo (Metaboman), Feindrehstar usw.. Auch im schönen Städtchen Schmalkalden, welches bereits richtig im Thüringer Wald liegt, formte sich vor der Jahrtausendwende um die Elektronik-Künstler wie Lowtec & Marvin Dash eine kreative Szene mit Label, Presswerk, Laden und Party Konzept. Aus Weimar hallt es laut: Giegling in die Welt. Das Label ist inzwischen fast so populär wie dieser Chef-Kultur-Dezernent Johann Wolfgang, der da seit über 200 Jahren fest im Sessel sitzt.
Aber das Jemand genau da, wo sich wirklich Reh und Hirsch gute Nacht sagen (Steinach im Thüringer Wald), auf die Idee kommt, crazy Electronic-Music zu produzieren und ein Label namens Klangscheiben zu gründen, zeigt wie rege ein menschliches Gehirn mit Hilfe moderner Internet, und Verkehrsanbindung funktionieren kann.
Seitdem hat Demas, der Macher von Klangscheiben, ein Netzwerk von Gleichgesinnten aus aller Welt geschaffen. Inzwischen ist er aber nach Berlin verduftet. Klar man muss ja auch mal raus und neben Bäumen auch mal etwas Beton sehen.
Das Thema der Platte ist Jena, denn hier hat Demas im Zirkel von FAT / Kassablanca / Fatplastics alle der Künstler persönlich kennengelernt und seit dem wird gefreundelt und sich kulturell ausgetauscht.
Alle vier Tracks sind Meisterwerke des Stolperfunks mit Zug zur Tanzfläche. 4x Bewegungsspender zur aktiven Gymnastik wurden in Vinyl geritzt. Da freut sich der Tänzer, wenn die Nadel ausetzt und es bitzelt wie der Schinken in der Pfanne.

WHITE RING mark a triumphant return with a brand new full-length Gate Of Grief, due out on Rocket Girl on 22 June 2018. Their debut album arrives a full eight years since their benchmark EP, Black Earth That Made Me, which sold out almost instantly, making their records some of the most highly sought after on the underground scene and earning them a cult following across the globe. Swerving from aggressively abrasive to beautifully ethereal, musically they draw from varied and challenging palette, whilst tackling themes of loss and acceptance due to struggles with drug addiction and existential dread on a broader scope.

WHITE RING were originally formed by Bryan Kurkimilis and Kendra Malia, before they were joined by Adina Viarengo, with Bryan and Adina currently touring as a duo. One of the most acclaimed proponents of the "Witch House" movement, WHITE RING blend heavy, distorted electronics with eerie, unsettling vocals. However, their new material, created over the course of seven years, pushes the boundaries further, subverting genre ideas and mashing them all together, with industrial, metal, rave, chopped and screwed, rap, grunge, neo folk, post punk and new wave all in the mix. As Bryan Kurkimilis explains; 'We treat our influences like tools to create a certain feeling. We are interested in covering more ground than sticking to a certain formula.'
Bryan and Kendra originally met on Myspace in 2006. At the time Bryan lived in New Orleans and Kendra was in New York, and they didn't even meet face-to-face until 2008 after they had already released a few singles. In 2010 they released the EP Black Earth That Made Me, which was a collection of songs that they mostly recorded before they met in person. The record confounded expectations by selling out immediately on pre-order, making it very rare and highly sought after, with copies going on Ebay for large sums. It was reissued by Rocket Girl in 2011 and still continues to sell in voluminous amounts.

They started playing live in 2009 and rapidly grew a reputation for their captivating performances, usually bringing their own lighting equipment and putting on a spectacular laser show. They have played for large crowds in their hometown of NYC and toured the UK in 2010 in support of their sold out split 7" with oOoOO, playing InTheCity and SWN festivals - which were their first shows outside of New York. They have since shared the stage with the likes of Cold Cave, araabMUZIK, Liturgy, Blank Dogs, Gatekeeper, Blondes, oOoOO, Clams Casino, and others.  
They started recording Gate Of Grief in 2010, with the hope of exploring new musical territory, however they took a while to find their path. Bryan and Kendra had some tough personal battles to fight, a sense that pervades the whole album. Thematically it delves in to some pretty dark places whilst exploring the concept of time and what it does to people, relationships and society. As Bryan explains; 'There is a lot of tragedy in this album but there is also hope at the end of it.'
By 2016 pressure was building to finish recording, however due to Kendra's ill health, they needed to bring in someone new to assist with vocals. Fortunately they found Adina Viarengo, who had played in various bands and gave them the impetus needed to complete the album. Shortly after meeting in Brooklyn, Bryan and Adina moved to Joshua Tree, California to finish recording the album, before settling in Massachusetts. Her vocal style fitted in seamlessly with what Kendra had been doing, and although she sang on half the songs, it's almost impossible to tell who is singing on which track, thus making her the perfect addition to the band.
Gate of Grief can be considered the second part of Black Earth That Made Me, or rather, they are the first two chapters in an overarching trilogy about evolution. As Bryan explains; 'First you are born but then you realize what you are and what is against you and it's a flood of emotion that you can only hope to hold on for and let it pass.'
The album title, Gate of Grief, refers to the real gate between Africa and Saudi Arabia that is believed to be the spot where the first humans migrated out of Africa and went on to populate the rest of the world. The album art ties in with this concept, with an image depicting a group of settlers in the USA in early 1900 during a parade. They were actually from a cult in the early 1900s in Bryan's hometown of Fort Myers, Florida.

Here they come, real adventurers driven by the music. Two real passionate found each other
and got together for this amazing collaboration. The man behind the label Fantastic Friends
Nicolas Duvoisin well known for creatively alternating between minimal, house and techno giving
the dance floor a unique ass-schaking experience such as with his releases and remixes on

The Original of She Was Happy is a deep-housey, funky song with mind-tickling vocals. Before
you know it, your toes will be moving to the bass of the sound. Nukem's Remix carries you

Original of Someone Need It you get a tripped-out floor-burner with a strong tech-house
groove, clever sample-play, enthralling effects, climactic arrangements and a bouncy bassline

NorthSouth Records invite emergent talents Chris Geschwinder and Henry Hyde to whip up some dazzling peak time house fare, with each artist presenting themselves across two tracks. Geschwinder is up first with the charging "Modern Axis Of Evil", matching the haunting purr of the lead synths with an insistent kick and clap combo that can't be argued with. He's no slouch on "In 2" either, getting into a subtly lopsided and seriously swinging spot that it's hard to wriggle out of. Henry Hyde too seems to have a focused vision for what they create, fusing the pops and wobbles of minimal and matching it with the overall bulbous nature of the music on NorthSouth.

Time for a little neck bulging, slimy skin hip-slinking summer fun as a true craftsman steps from the studio shadows: Jay Shepheard, who's back with a track that's so infectious if you licked its back you'd trip for weeks. Prepare yourselves for 'Bullfrogging': wry funk, warmth and humanised technoid soul. Taking a vocal texture then processing, harmonising and splicing the spawn out of it, Jay's precision balance of electronic hustle and anthromorphised action has all the hallmarks for a summer anthem. 'Early Doors' follows suit and there's a massive clue in the title... Soft-focused, warm, rolling and laced with textured chimes, it's definitely tailored for those key transitions between warm-up and second gear. Deep, trippy but coded with a hookiness that grabs rather than soothes, once again it's classic Shepheard but with a revitalised 2017 twist. Hey, he didn't lock himself away in the studio for twelve months for nothing, right Neither did Jay's long-time friend and neighbour Mark Henning; a man who hasn't taken on a remix since the early 2010s. His return to the remix game is as poignant and powerful as Jay's return to releases as he removes around 70 percent of the frog and maximises the bullishness of the elements, creating a relentless tribal slammer of a version that still retains the warmth and soul of Jay's original. Two returns to action, three killer tracks, one label you can always count on as your friend and no frogs harmed during the whole process. We're pulling out some serious stops here.

It's hard to imagine being at the cutting edge of electronic dance music for over three decades, and never resorting to cliché or tired gimmicks in order to create unique and forward thinking music, but Matthew Herbert is still channelling original and thought provoking ideas into his projects all these years later. Via his Accidental record label, he has always excelled at left of centre productions, and through a variety of genre aliases (including Doctor Rockit, Wishmountain and The Matthew Herbert Big Band), his imagination has always run wild, resulting in an infectious catalogue of music over the years. 'Brand New Love", featuring the vocals of rising star, Zilla, finds Herbert creating a dense and dramatic bass heavy cut. A steppers beat, utilizing Herbert's trademark sampling techniques, it's a killer cut with sweeping cinematic qualities that sounds head and shoulders ahead of the rest. Special Request, the jungle heavy arm of Paul Woolford's many recording talents, is enlisted to put his breakbeat spin on the original, and turns in an absolutely lethal version; choppy breaks, spinbacks and booming subs come with intent, whilst a sumptuous string arrangement accompanies Zilla's vocal for a truly uplifting spirit. 'The Peacock", with its loose beats and opaque stabs, rolls along with its industrial undertones and ravey motif, discordant at times but a truly hypnotizing but in the finest of side B1 traditions. Bringing up the rear, 'Cheekbone' is frenetic and charging micro tribal rave (a new genre classification right there); a glorious medley of percussion, earworm synths and guillotined vocal samples, showing just why Matthew Herbert is as vital an artist now as he has ever been.

Coming hot on the heels of Samuel Rohrer'sRange of Regularity album are two EPs of striking reinterpreta- tions. These new remixes provide an intriguing parallax view of the original tracks, using the percussive eclecticism of the parent LP as a starting point from which to journey into soni- cally vibrant, feature-rich territories. The production specia- lists on the first EP include Ricardo Villalobos and Vilod, the collaborative duo with Max Loderbauer. Villalobos, has alrea- dy formed a strong working relationship with Rohrer's AM- BIQ trio, lends his talents to both of these new EPs. The se- cond one will be completed by a remix of Burnt Friedman. Each individual remix has its own character, they are all united in their ability to provide a quick cure for fatigue with the common loop': they are strung together from fleeting phra- ses that evolve as if they are taking on a life independent of their creators.Villalobos' compelling take on Lenina' pulsates from start to finish with a kind of voluntary anxiety, a commitment to painting every corner of the sonic surface with clearly defined pointillist touches. While this kind of approach would cause less confident producers to collapse at their editing worksta- tion, Villalobos takes to the task with gusto - leaving see- mingly no corner un-animated by sound, he pieces together something surprisingly funky and hyper-real from a catalog of distinct percussive hits, time-reversed ephemera, and playful kitchen sink' ambience. Vilod's Uncertain Grace' remix, though marginally more laidback than the flipside, is no less engaging. A buzzing beehive of activity powered by an organ- like refrain, this is one of those pieces that will induce a fee- ling of perpetual movement into even the most still of physi- cal surroundings. This is especially true when, after four and a half minutes of flotation, a straight-ahead techno rhythm ta- kes over and all the disparate hovering elements fall into place.

Argentinian Imprint For Club welcomes Cazaux for it second release. Four tracker EP from the bottom of Cazaux mind.

It's been a while since the latest Melisma release, last time we saw Ricardo Villalobos & Argenis Brito deliver the Amnesia EP which was supported by pretty much everyone and is considered a underground techno classic... This time it's a double pack from label owners Dani Casarano & Felipe Valenzuela who delivers 5 tracks of deep electronic techno phunk of the highest quality, aimed straight towards the dancefloors.

Cosmic Dust EP is the debut of Heerd on COTEOF. Four original cuts of timeless house music

Mihigh steps up for TLR006 and in Mihigh's true fashion brings his usual dark flavour to Trapped Ldn. Mihigh is known for his head bending, dark, trippy erie minimal style and he has once again delivered with this evil 2 track EP. Mirrors is a mix of driving minimal and dark atmospheric sounds which gives you a great after party style of track but could also be blended into a maintime set. Mutual contemplation is our personal favourite which can be used as both a tool, a warm up track or an after party track. Its crazy trippy leading synth keeps you entertained throughout the whole track and sounds like it was created to mess up anyones mind while at a party. We are super happy to have Mihigh in the Trapped family as he has been one of our favourites at various festivals we have seen him

3rd release of rumanian producer Moratu on the mysterious Beech Music Label!

AMZS present their next release made by Italian and Berlin based producer Otis! House and Techno for any kind of dancefloor, enjoy it!

Axpin debuts with its EP "Gilgamesh", including three deep house tracks and a first floor remix of mastermind Christian Burkhardt (Cocoon, Oslo, CBSessions). It smoothly combines multifarious arrangements and arousing melodies with a forward pushing club sound. Suitable for the dance floor as well as the afterparty at home, this EP transports the listener to a faraway world of subtle grooves, pushing drums and mesmerizing sound design.
"Gilgamesh" is a track based on the story about the journey of an ancient emperor, searching for enlightenment in the highlands of Mesopotamia. So it comes as no surprise that a driving beat breaks through the laid back percussions and hypnotizing atmospheres. Wandering through this track side by side with mysterious pads and exotic sounds, a lost but defying melody accompanies the listener on his steps.
"Catiba" is a track with a multilayered arrangement, that doesn't necessarily reveal its complexity on the first look. Different rhythmic moods provide the structure for two melodic lines, competing at first but working perfectly together after a thrilling break, melting your soul. They're supported by a pervading deep bass groove that will make your body vibrate.Christian Burkhardt summarizes both tracks' features and unifies them in an impulsive club remix that floats every second and climaxes in a thrilling break. Dry but playful, perfectly fitting for the dance floor without losing the warmth and lightness of the original.
"Kryon" is the EP's third and most expressive track. Starting with lost parts of a melody, rather an echo in the vast distance, the track continuously  increases its tension, extending the rhythms until the arrangement blasts out a stunning break that, contrary to all expectations, is a calm and compassionate moment with a transient theme. The clear production provides a place in the mix to each sound, a deep moog bass rumbles in the basement while the stimulating percussion coats the volatile beat.

A new series of releases hosted by the label Superluminal.
Re Discovery represent a slightly different shade from the usual path that Matthias has been following by far, this time a feeling that evokes Lo-Fi beats towards deep/house inspirations. Since the beginning has always existed an idea of creating a "subculture" related to the initial project Superluminal developed in 2017 in Berlin, Re Discovery is considered as an experiment to re program elements which were adapted and developed considerably, particularly referring to surgical breaks and deep twisted drum patterns.

Sequenced using instruments such as: Miami Acidlab, Roland 909, Roland Juno 106, Moog Minitaur, Roland 505, Akai325Dx Cassette Deck...

Nektar Agu strikes a joyfull three-tracks with his "How To Be More Fun EP".

Sticked on some hypnotic grooves that are fitting so well with the sounds that the label is promoting since the very beginning (How to forget those great successes obtained by "Lost" and "Prologue"), the argentinian artist comes with a latin vibe filled with minimalistic touch. An analog experience through the very first listen heated up with the hotness and the romantic atmosphere of his native land.

Supported and played by Barac, S.A.M. , Kozo, Dan Andrei.

Four Fresh House Techno tunes ...nice

Windmühle strikes again with some exquisite material from the Romanianmaestros. This release is called La Relanteu' by Brind, a moniker of an artistyou all know from his releases on UVAR and PELERIN . La Conac' is an airy, almost light-headed release. The first track is a cheerfulinvitation to dance, with an easy touch of introspection. La Peles' on theother side, is an entrancing twelve-minute, hymn-like track, with an almostfolk-ish melodic line. The label's second release, in general, explores deeperand more head-nodding rhythms.These gems have already been supported by romanian house pioneers !

Although the definition of the word artist is quite ambiguous, Liou definitely breathes through music, either as a part of the audience, later as a DJ and finally as a music producer.
His music has been released on labels like Signatune Records, La Vie En Rose, Daydream and Broox Records.


This record has limited copies and there won't be any repress...

Thomas Brinkmann is one of the great producers of Techno music and modern dance music. He initially gained notoriety in the experimental electronic music and Techno community for his full-length 'variations' of material by Wolfgang Voigt under his Mike Ink moniker, and Richie Hawtin. The variations were made by playback of the original artist records on a turntable of Brinkmann's design, which has two tone arms with separate outputs for left and right channels. The turntables were then pitched down from 33rpm to 27rpm and the results recorded and mixed. Both Voigt and Hawtin were sufficiently impressed they released the results on their own labels. Since then Thomas Brinkmann has produced some all-time classic dance tracks, many of which are collected here in what is a personal selection by Thomas Brinkmann himself. There are unreleased tracks, different versions, and tracks that have never been released on vinyl. A full colour 20-page book with track notes by Thomas Brinkmann and photos from his personal collection is included. Limited edition box. Highly Recommended!

Opening cut 'Acido' setting the tone perfectly via murky broken rhythms and glitched out bass hits before the latter stages introduce a squelching 303 lead which tails out the rest of the record. 'Nylo' follows and draws on an earth shattering sub bass lead, sparse percussive shots and a subtly bubbling synth stabs.


Opening the flip is 'What' which takes a more robust approach rhythmically with a weighty kick drum, shuffling congas and choppy hats lying at the forefront while spiralling bass hits and vocal chops meander around them. Lastly the package is closed with 'Nasty', an intricately programmed energy fuelled workout featuring reversed bass swells, jazz tinged Rhodes melodies and crunchy distorted drums.

a vinyl debut of a great Serbian label CMOK (Centar Muzicko Omladinske Kulture), which is quite known by a narrow circle of professionals and great sound lovers.

this release has got a total urbanism in the sound that undoubtedly will be a big joy to drop on some good party with friends.
