Patience does pay off for those willing to let things happen naturally, such is the case with Denis Clifford who submitted his first release 'Easter Island' to Bumako more than a year ago through soundcloud. Label boss Jenifa Mayanja knew she had something special in Irish producer Denis Clifford who though an accomplished musician had only recently started to delve into house music production.
The resulting connection brings about a full length album from Denis entitled 'Miracles of Matter' which wedges nicely between melodic techno and groove steady deep house..This first effort really showcases the potential of this up and coming producer as he mixes it up from catchy hooks on 'Take it or leave it', the ethnic house vibes on 'Clockwork' and the euphoric techno tone of 'King of dreams' the final track. There is enough to catch the attention of fans of his highly seductive take on the techno genre while also rocking the floors of groove hungry house fans..
Denis Clifford is one of a select few artists who will be featured on Bumako Recordings that will produce albums for the label showcasing more full length material from many corners of the house music world.
Following Denis Clifford's cd and digital release will be a special limited edition 12' featuring remix versions of select tracks from the full length release.

Back Memories

Ben La Desh may hover above radars despite his extensive back catalog for the likes of Sleazy Beats/Black Ops, Dirt Crew, Outernational and a recent contribution to the Young Adults House Slippers compilation.

One of the unsung modern forefathers of gradient chug, the Rotterdam native has carved out a niche for engulfing body movers that organically unfold like subtle origami.
Wondering What We Are explores the ever expanding spectrum of the Ben La Desh aesthetic in a compact 4-track capsule.

'Afrodesia' soundtracks a high speed chase through tropical back roads with swirling synths and pulsing drops.
'Your Love' has a slinky half-tempo bounce that skates along an infectious horn loop and vocal refrain.
'We Are' finds La Desh in his signature groove wheelhouse - buttery builds and smoothed-out repetition.
'Why Don't You' may very well be his deepest moment yet, a driving baseline is lathered with clattering percussion and sultry female croons to devilishly sinister effect.

Bristol native and musical wiz Benjamin Jacobs aka Crackazat dazzled us since the first time we heard him a few years ago on Futureboogie with his deep and jazzy electronic house not house sound.
After a move to Sweden and refining his characteristic music profile you’ll now find hints of Floating Points, FaltyDL, Lone or Underground Resistance in his productions. Its dance + MUSIC at its best and something truly special if you ask us!

After a killer track (Size Up) on Local Talks off shoot label OneOffs and a bumpin' piano remix for Tony Blitz our man Crackazat is now here with his first solo release on Local Talk...the Candle Coast EP.
All three tracks are winners by themselves and its seriously tricky to single out any of them so its just up to you to choose your favourite cut.
It won’t be easy we tell you ;)

Crackazat is currently working on his debut album for Local Talk which is scheduled for 201

only one copy each customer !!
The one and only Moodymannnnnn returns with an off-the-cuff double LP! As you would expect, the man from the D is in fine form, presenting some of his best work to date. And check that artwork too! Wall-to-wall killers, don't sleep.

Nooo Yoikkkkkk
Fourth outing in the NY EDITS series
VERY limited and mysterious one-off 12's emanating, as you might expect, from the Big Apple

Put together by a legendary NY record store owner from a personal stash of edits constructed for back in the day club play, which still sound super fresh and effective today !

These will sell out on presale, so numbers ASAP please

Paradise Garage DJ and dance music legend Victor Rosado presents his remixes from the self titled debut LP from Nina Kraviz on three special limited 12"s..
Victor was part of the legendary "Garage" scene and played along side Larry Levan throughout the history of the famed New York club and went onto remixing and re-editing a whole host of stars and his work has appeared recently on the cheeky "East End" records.
These mixes fuse Nina's sultry vocals with the sounds of NYC nightlife....

Night Slugs' Whitelabel series continues with two new re-takes on tracks from L-Vis 1990's Ballads EP. Pairing a VIP mix from L-Vis 1990's personal crates and yet another vicious bootleg from Helix, these stark dystopian remixes allow both producers to follow their impulses towards the dark side.



L-Vis 1990 applies the 'Varied In Production' treatment to his brutalist club jam 'Ballad 4D', restructuring and stripping away many of the original track's layers to make room for chopped, shuffling jungle percussion and a startling stop-start motion. The result is a broken riddim designed for an entirely different dimension.

Helix reconstructs 'Not Mad' into a skeletal, grimey predator, adding stealthy subdued moments that give way to a full on percussive assault. Helix has made a habit of re-forming his labelmate's tracks, working only with the original masters in his ongoing quest to bootleg club music into his own reality.

Berlin-based producer and DJ Hubertus Schacht is back on Samuvar 6 with a stunning microdubhouse-track:
'hikari' sports multi-layered soundscapes, is full of little nifty melodies and big mighty chords albeit never losing sight of the dancefloor.
Swinging hi-hats, compelling breaks and a massive drop - embedded in a smoothly floating midtempo-arrangement.
Perfect for the early morning hours when facing the absorbed crowd of usual suspects in a club. And just as perfect for lounging around at home. Headphones, sofa, let the world float by.
On the flipside pavel pokhorovsky, formerly responsible for Samuvar4, presents a convincing track with a calm and concentrated pusher.
timeless record, quality!

*Anotherday return with their second release, from Chicago legend Boo Williams under his Moon Man alias.

*Originally released in 1996 on Cajual subsidiary Daisy, The original pressing of the Lucky Star Ship EP has been selling on discogs for £45+ due to it's incredibly limited original pressing. Grab it now pressed on to beautiful virgin vinyl, fully remastered from the original DAT.

Currently bubbling under the surface of London's house scene, Phillip Ort is about to break through with his addictive debut single 'back To The Basics' on the mighty Kote Records imprint, complete with Labels head honcho Chase Buch aka Kleio's and rising star of Hot Creations HNQO's Remix.

Memento12 showcases some of the label's most daring works so far, ranging from sparse soundscapes to elaborate actual song structures, always keeping focused on the feeling and unique inspiration that are its distinctive trait.

Gas' "Nighthawk" starts off on a jazzy intro with soft pads and takes the listener on a journey of drum rolls and delayed percussions. A crescendo of warm synths balances the gloomy vocal that goes 'How does it feel when your heart grows cold'. Stylish.

Simone Ferrari's "Romantik" comes up with a minimal vibe made of ticking sounds and clicks, with laid back synth stabs to top off the kick-driven tune. For the right afterparty at sunrise.

Acirne's "Circle of us" is designed around a quirky funky bass line and crazy spectral sounds. Atmospheric keyboards remind of early German electronic bands, and a growing spaced-out arpeggio turns into a whirlwind of emotions. Another off-the-wall track from Memento hottest girl.

Blue Mondays' "Holes" sets an even higher standard with its menacing intro, hand-picked bass guitar melody and a dark 80s-inspired singing which goes onto a break of feedback guitar sounds. Out of the ordinary to say the least, it's a perfect blend of alternative electronic and the darker side of synth-pop.

MyHouse YourHouse as a philosophy, a way to canalize beats from around the world, sharing with each others.

Based in Berlin Nick Beringer is an amazing music producer with fresh ideas, decapitating hi hats and thick basslines, accompanied by a catchy Synth. Proper dancefloor house beats for our very first release.

This is the 4th Black Catalogue release. "Through The Galaxies." was originally released on the 'Modern Underground Music' sampler. This version is a full release with some great remixes....by both Lucy from Stroboscopic and Shigeto from Ghostly. These mixes are fantastic, and really show a nice array of sounds. I decided to add a dub version inna future dub stylee, too. I hope you enjoy it!

The record is dedicated to quality House Music, touching the deepest jazz realms with the song 'Spiritually Captured' by Glenn Underground
and on the flipside the wonderful "How I Feel" by Isoul8 that features the genius Kaidi Tatham on keyboards, licensed from the Neroli Records
catalogue and remastered for the event. Also on the B side a wild collaboration from Isoul8 & Ricardo Miranda, a real futuristic track for the headz !

Ron Trent / Larry Heard/ Herbert / Isoleé/ Dj Qu/ Reggie Dokes - 2x 12inch Sparkled Vinyl -Sealed copy

Humpin' two track edit of pop licking goodness from an unknown source - limited stock...get it before they dry up!

Bicep are back with the second release on their eponymous Feel My Bicep label with the follow up to last year's 'Vision Of Love'. After a sustained period setting up their new studio, FMB002 features three tracks pushing into a synth driven direction in comparison to earlier releases.

After the 'Stash' EP on Aus Records showed the duo stepping out of their comfort zone, FMB002 continues that trend. 'Satisfy' features melodic pads, leads and a breakbeat heavily indebted to 80s freestyle and Baltimore club. 'Snackbar' takes a much tougher line, with a subtly growling and grinding bass underpinning its menacing chords reflecting their recent more techno heavy sets. 'The Final Trip' is deep into late night Belfast territory, keeping it true to the classic pairing of jackin' 909 and juno 60 live through the whole track.

According to the boys themselves 'Expect a more frequent and increasing varied output in future - this EP is some tracks made purely to fit into our sets, which are tending to a little bit more techno at the moment... More to come..'

Three song limited vinyl sampler from the upcoming Music For Shut Ins cd compilation.
Marcos Cabral takes full control over the a-side with the epic and somehow melancholic yet jacking Dancing on Manhattan, a track already in demand due its appearance on Ben UFOs BBC Essential Mix. Beautiful Swimmers surprisingly make their L.I.E.S. debut with a monstrous party cut titled The Zoo, a piece of dancefloor saving breakbeat house. And last but not least comes a rough yet hazy track by the mysterious Entro & Terri, closing it out with the undoubted smokers delight.

Moire Patterns sends his most essential of hellos to the world with his new release on Knuggles Recordings, featuring two delicious tracks on 12(vinyl only).
A: Warning Parrots
It's a Warning! Warning! Warning!
Moire Patterns with Nic 2Birilli welcome the summer with a Live Recorded Jam, inspired by their Mediterranean origins.
A balearic journey unto its own.
AA: Lofty Principle
Are you ready to elevate your principles Do you have the strength to carry on
Nikolaos' love of the raw & analog ways has created a piece of work with 808 garage elements that set off waves and twirl you into ecstasy.
Mixmasters will love this one.

For number 003 on the OFM catalogue Skymark comes up with three smooth effective chicago slow house and techno dub tracks! really dope!
SKYMARK an old passionate of soul, brazilian music, jazz and obscure disco from the mid 60's till the mid 80's. Thanx to his older brothers he have been exposed to these kinds of music since my childhood.
He have been spending most of his spare time practising on the keys and listening to records in search of the soulfull waves that give he the goosebumps and red eyes.
he started recording music since late 2005, some rap, deep house, disco influenced productions. Nowadays he is a bit disconnected from electronic music and i am preparing a kind of brazilian jazz influenced album.
He dont have a specifiq musical genre, He just record what comes out of my soul depending the moment.
Skymark is a very appreciate from artists like : Theo Parrish, MoodyMann and a all the underground music lovers.

Garrett David and Adam Rowe first met 4 years ago working together in the run-down offices of Dust Traxx. Since then they have graduated to roommates and co-workers at Chicago's Gramaphone Records. With their debut release, the Boys deliver a unique and endearing house sound with a bit of quirk and machine-made flavor. An EP for the selectors, each track demands it's own place within the night. B Free features their dear friend and vocalist, Shaun J Wright (ex. Hercules & Love Affair). We have been waiting so long to get this out, and cannot wait to share it with the world. Werk.

'Bodyjack' - a rough-ass bassline track with classic Dance Mania & Relief style beats - it was originally passed onto five DJs only: Jackmaster, Paul Woolford, Dave Clarke, L-Vis1990 & Rolando all caned it; dancefloor reactions proving the track was a big underground joint.

Flip over for "I Wanna Be': a twisted garage carnival workout. Huxley dropped this immediately at We Love at Space in Ibiza and it took off from there, and both tracks have been going off even having repeated plays on Radio 1 and Rinse FM.

Hypercolour heard these and immediately signed Bodyjack to the label, releasing the big 'Feel Real Good EP' last month.

Now finally the first 2 raw Bodyjack cuts are unleashed on loud-pressed vinyl with 2 bonus locked grooves for the DJs. One press only so don't sleep.

Special, super limited (less than 100!) color vinyl pressing (red and green for Christmas!). Features "MAKE ME HOT (SEXY ONE)", "FEEL ME (BOOGIE NITE'S UNPLUGGED MIX)", and "TAKE YOU HIGHER". The second 12" has remixes of "MAKE ME HOT" done by two Chicago house legends: GLENN UNDERGROUND and RAHAAN.

Super limited (about 50) color vinyl double packs (one red & one green for Xmas) of BOOGIE NITE's first two 12"s for GLENVIEW. 8 tracks: "SHINE", "GOTTA ALOT OF STATIC", "THE HAPPY SONG", "RUNNIN", "LOVE U", "EVERYTHING GOOD 2 YA", "FREE 2013", and "DAT BOY AGAIN". Chicago house at its best

A firm favourite at Guy Gerber's Supplement Facts label parties, tINI delivers her first EP for the imprint with two solid cuts of deep, twisted, rolling tech. Knowing exactly what works in the club tINI features the vocals of Joe Le Groove for the first track 'Hat Baxx', which adds a whole new dimension to the dancefloor experience, swirling above the stripped back raw bass, powering through with fierce energy while holding plenty of groove. Over on the flip 'Turn Around' drives with intricate percussion while vocals from Charlotte C.A send you on a journey into a hypnotic state. Both tracks are essential DJ weapons for a peak time affair, guaranteed to keep the crowd pumping.

One of the leading ladies in the business tINI joined the Desolat family and Artist Alife agency in 2008 after catching the attention of Loco Dice. Since then she has been a solid figure in the worldwide Desolat parties. The top class DJ has also held residencies for London's in-demand 'Fuse' events and Cocorico in Italy plus being the official tour support for Marco Carola on his worldwide album presentation.

tINI has also been running her own parties worldwide named 'tINI & The Gang', with a weekly free party this year at Sirocco Beach in Ibiza featuring artists such as Guti, Bill Patrick, Enzo Siragusa, Martin Buttrich and many more. Debut artist album 'Tessa' was released on homebase Desolat in 2011.

Aside from regular releases on Desolat, tINI has released on labels such as Heidi Presents Jackathon Jams, Dissonant, Moon Harbour and 1trax.

finally repressed! Strictly limited to 150 copies worldwide. Just a few copies not presold. Advance, hand stamped, white labels featuring GLENN UNDERGROUND's "NOSTALGIA DANCERS REMIX" and RAHAAN's "SEXY REMIX" of "MAKE ME HOT". In plain paper sleeves

Glasgow Underground launches a new mix compilation series in May with the release of Optimo:The Underground Sound of Glasgow mixed by Optimo's JD Twitch. Each installment of The Underground Sound of... will see a DJ focus on his or her home city, compiling mixing and collection of music from said city.

Keith McIvor, aka JD Twitch is a name synonymous with quality and eclecticism in modern electronic music and his Optimo project alongside Jonnie Wilkes is no different. The duo's Optimo (E!pacio) club night, which ran from 1997 to 2010 on Sundays in Glasgow's Sub Club, is the stuff of legend. McIvor had previously been an electro, rock and punk funk DJ as well as promoter of Pure, a techno night that dominated Glasgow's clubbing landscare for ten years, until by his own admission, seamless mixing and 'obvious, easy and predictable' musical selections wore thing with him - planting the Optimo seed.
This 12 features 5 of the rarer tracks from the mix.

We first discovered young Glasweigian talent Barrientos in 2012 via the always on point synthglasgow.com blog. His debut mix for them effortly mixed tracks from Atjazz and Matthew Styles to Loco Dice, Vince Watson and Steve Rschmad and took the listener from the early bounce as the club doors open right through to hands-in-the-air madness of a packed dancefloor. We loved it. He alsoreleased the good-time, sun-soaked Sky EP (for free via Soundcloud) around the same time and the quality of both his music and production really stood out from the crowd.

Since then he has delivered 3 remixes for Glasgow Underground (Romanthony, Walker & Royce & Visitor) gaining support from a wide range of DJs such as Junior Sanchez, Mark E, Sasse, Sean Brosnan, Grum, Russ Chimes, Coyu and Severino.

"Feel The Waves" is his first full single release. And what a killer bunch of tracks he's delivered. If you want a floor-filler there's the heavyweight garage bounce of "And Uh" and the classic M1 organ house of "On My Mind". If you're looking for something deep and vocal the blissed out summertime beats of "Feel The Waves" defintely make you feel like you should be beachside at sunset with a beer in your hand. And if you need something to bring everything back down again, look no further than "Los Suenos", a solid, slow-burning Latin groove that sounds like Mark E remixing Gui Borrato and "Eventide" - the best ambient song we've heard in years.
Support from: Groove Armada, Gilles Peterson, Jaymo, Funk D'Void, Jozif, Tom Flynn, Baunz, Adana Twins, Tube & Berger, Brett Johnson, Justin Sloe (Culprit), Mash, Mia Dora, Hernan Cattaneo, A.N.D.Y., Yam Who, Chopstick, The Mekanism, Aston Shuffle, ATTARI, Luna City, Christian Homan (RTE/Pulse), Harri (Sub Club), Graeme Park, Max Pask,...

We've been a fan of Motor City Drum Ensemble since the brooding and eerie "Escape To Nowhere" in 2007 - a track that sounded like someone had listened to "French Kiss" on acid and then tried to recreate what they heard. So when we started re-issuing Romanthony's classics with fresh remixes, MCDE's Danilo Plessow was always someone we wanted to on the project. It has taken 2 years to organise this mix and now it is finally here it doesn't disappoint. Taking on "Trust", most people would head straight for the vocal but Plessow instead eschews that idea for a warm, low slung dub mix reminiscent of Muzique Tropique and early Glasgow Underground releases by Studio Blue.

There aren't make producers that manage to combine forward-thinking production and interesting musical concepts with a reputation for igniting even the coldest of dancefloors. Audiojack are one of those rare breed of producers that can do just that. Before this release the most DJ-friendly version of this song was Roman's 1995 kick-heavy vocal-loopy "Ghost Mix". Here Audiojack deliver the kind of rhythm-driven, detroit-influenced house workout that should usurp the "Ghost Mix" as the go-too choice for maximum dance-floor love.

When Kevin McKay and Freeform Five's Anu Pillai got together to remix "Weltareh", Freeform Five's single on Eskimo earlier this year they got talking about Romanthony. McKay was planning on remixing the single but hadn't started on the project yet so invited Pillai to join in. Over the years Pillai had collected an amazing array of unusual analogue synths and vintage outboard gear. This allowed him and McKay to take "Trust", soak it in acid goodness and deliver a near-on 13 minute epic mix that provides both dub and vocal versions in one. Great one for the toilet break.

Small Pyramids is LA's Zach Hunsaker. Heavily influenced by nu-disco, early house music and edit culture, Zach began cutting up old disco, funk and r&b tracks for his DJ gigs in Los Angeles as Small Pyramids. Making the move from producing edits to sampling for original tracks was a natural progression and crucial step to developing a unique style. As a result of remixing acts like NightWaves and Arohan, Small Pyramids gained blog exposure on sites like Disco Workout, Tracasseur, In the Deep End and Disco Delicious. The first Small Pyramids EP, 'Another Way to Feel' was released late in 2010 to great critical acclaim and shortly thereafter Zach signed to Glasgow Underground.

His first single, the foot-stomping disco of 'I Want Blood' came out on a limited 12' in November 2011 and made it straight into DJ Magazine's Tunes of the Year. Zach followed that up with a contribution to GU's 'Spring/Summer Collection 2012. 'The Music' is a slice of prime time hands-in-the-air goodness complete with elated vocals and butt-wiggling bass. Diverse DJs began picking up on Zach's sound with Rub'n'Tug, Laurent Garnier, Grum, PBR Streetgang and Harri from the Sub Club all play-listing his tracks.

As well as his original material Zach remixed Mary Epworth, Sam Sparro and local hero Goldroom and found blogs like Golden Scissors and La.Ga.Sta full of love for his sun-kissed sounds.

2013 saw Zach featuring on GU's 'Summer of Love' compilation. 'Don't Do It To Me' is his city's take on the garage revival. Out went the M1 organ sound of Ejeca et al and in came touches of Todd Edwards and MJ Cole all wrapped up in a blissed-out Small Pyramids groove. Meggy loved it, Gilles Peterson described it as 'killer' and Agoria said it was simply 'a bomb'.

The album 'Slow It Down' takes in these three and adds 7 more slow burning, unforgettable jams. There's the title track with its looping, lazy vocals and glittering synths, the joyous heavy thump of 'Look No Further', the raw cut-up funk of 'Lil' Bit' and the hypnotic piano love song 'I'm Gonna Beg You'. And that's before Zach takes you to the heart of his dance-floor with the three singles.

Add to that the mid-tempo R'n'B pilfering of 'Make It Smoother' and two near-perfect chill-out tracks 'Stranded' & 'Warmer' and you have the kind of album that sounds as good in the sunrise café's of Ibiza as it does in the basement clubs of London's East End and the pool-side parties of Zach's own LA.

For its seventh release Shaddock unearths a genre-defining piece of music overlooked by even the most thorough of crate diggers, backed by a storming Hercules & Love Affair remix.
'New York, New York' by DeeKay Jones, is an electrifying piece of hypnotic electric-disco-wave, produced in the eponymous city's concrete jungle back in 1981. It's a track that had all the potential to propel dance music forward: Relentless drum computer beats that predate techno - and even Chicago house - by years. A minimalistic synth hook that sounds more futuristic than any cutting edge dance record available at the time. And brilliantly overdubbed chants (taken from a 1970 The Last Poets album), which anticipated sample culture and should have made this an anthem.
Yet, it never happened. 'New York, New York' only appeared on an obscure compilation titled 'The Pulse Of New York' in 1983 that went largely unnoticed. It has brought its two producers, Dennis Kelley and Bruce Grant neither fame nor fortune. Kelley went on to produce recordings by artists such as Mike Ladd, while Grant, who passed away in 2009, remained a brilliant bed-room tinkerer, whose experimental tape manipulations drew praise from hip-hop artists like El-P and even prompted a New York Times portrait (titled “The Hip Hop Man”) in 1997.
'New York, New York' is accompanied by two more unreleased DeeKay Jones tracks from the same era: 'Hirasaki' showcases Bruce Grant's work with tape recorders playing at varying speeds over a slow, Man Parrish-style electro beat, and the equally daring 'Feel It In Your Gut', which has Grant simulate free jazz saxophones by spinning bird-call recordings on a turntable by hand.
Who would be better suited to pay homage to the pairs under-appreciated genius than NYC's favourite adopted son, Andy Butler a.k.a. Hercules & Love Affair who is teaming up with his Viennese buddies Ha-Ze Factory. Staying true to the original track's feel and rhythm, his remix transports 'New York, New York's rarely exploited floor-filler qualities into the year 2013, opening a time-distorting worm hole between Shaddock's alternate universe and the one we strut our stuff in.
