The already 4th production of the record label Freakadelle, founded in 2013, represents a very special release this time. The vinyl only release includes 6 exclusive tracks of 6 well-known personalities from 6 different nations. All of the artists have performed as live acts or DJs at Freaksound Klubhaus in the last two and a half years. Hence, the record also embodies a unique
memento of a moving time in Salzburg's club history and subculture. The release unites various styles of House and Techno, but at the same time proves to be a lively mixture of young emerging talents as well as renowned artists. Freaksound Klubhaus is the home of the vinyl/digital record label Freakadelle and is run by volunteers of the cultural association Freaksound
Salzburg. Inspired by a frequent musical interchange among the members, as well as the boisterous parties in the association's own club, the label serves to foster local music producers and to place non-commercial electronic music on the market.

Jordan GCZ, aka Jordan Czamanski, aka Jordash from Juju & Jordash delivers an insane EP for Future Times! TIP

He released his last beast, "Crybaby J" via his own Off Minor label last year, and joins us for another solo move.

A-Side "Swingonoguitaro" hits a very unique place. Far from chopping up typical disco guitar licks, J runs a fierce house rhythm through varying six-string zones, from rainy day Slippertronics and Cocteau strums to the dusted, poly-rhythmic bends that warp the song's ending. This track is a world of its own.

The B-Side leaves the galaxy altogether. "Digitalis" starts as cold, snake-charmer funk that gets washed away in outrageous keys and hovering, molten electronics. In GCZ's hands the track pulses and morphs; the production makes you feel like the song is filtering your brain. "Fusionfuk" closes the EP with a barrage of library gusto. Bizarre assembly-line cartoon rhythms compete with all the wild instrumental strokes of the song's namesake. Jordan showcases his amazing synth work on this one, destroying and rebuilding melodies at will.

After teasing us over the last two years with compilation and split EP releases on labels such as Let's Play House, Horn Wax and Throne of Blood/Black Catalogue, acclaimed visual artist and filmmaker Sean Dack drops his first solo EP as Pixelife for Throne of Blood.

Deftly navigating the grey areas in between house, techno and acid, Pixelife delivers two original tracks built to move the dancefloor at strobe-saturated warehouse parties.

"Waves of Titan" lulls you into a false sense of security with a steady minor chord groove before slipping into a doomsday Doppler effect siren freakout. Meanwhile Pittsburgh Track Authority return to TOB, refreaking 'Waves' into a highly functional piano jam suspended between deep house and still deeper techno..

On the flipside, "DC to Daylight' moves from a push/pull groove anchored by a tense Juno bassline through an unraveling breakdown, building back up into a peak hour acid techno jam complete with snarling FM bass and laser ready swells. Fresh off his recent 'Moon Temple' EP with his bandmate Vito Roccoforte, The Rapture's Gabriel Andruzzi anchors his propulsive yet soulful remix to the track's original bassline, effortlessly building 'DC to Daylight' into a joyful acid house rave-up.

MYSTERIOUS WHITE LABEL RELEASE ON JOLLY JAMS !!! A SIDE FEAT A RELIGIOUS HOUSE GROOVE B SIDE FEAT A PARADISE GARAGE DISCO VIBE TRACK WHO DID IT WE DON'T KNOW! AMAZING 12INCH GETS MASSIVE ROTATION THAT'S FOR SURE.

Italian producer Giorgio Luceri has released a reliable stream of records since 2011, developing relationships with labels like Seven Music and Hieroglyphic Being's Mathematics. For this Blame It EP he points the finger at Spanish label Bucketround and provides a three-track single featuring a remix from Dubbyman. Vocals crossed between Romanthony and George Michael dominate the title-track, while all chords and atmospheres are stripped from the 6D22 Beats version, offering a beefy tool for the adventurous DJ. After two previous releases for the label Dubbyman appears in remix form supplying a sultry remix best listened to in the accompaniment of summer a cool summer breeze.

Two Scoops. a new collaboration from the people behind the scenes at Retrofit, serve up 4 rough and ready house cuts that have been rocking dance floors across the world in Jay Shepheards DJ sets for the past few months.

Moodymanc´s Dubble D project lands on the Rebellion imprint, paying tribute to
the funk mecca of early Detroit and expressing a different kind of worship with 'Church' featuring the legendary Ashley Beedle on remix duty.
Danny Ward AKA Moodymanc is one of the most well respected names in house music. His first foray on Rebellion is a truly religious experience. A superb slice of Detroit/Chi-town infused house with spiritual appeal. Ashley Beedle provides the ReVersion of the flip like only he can.. a killer double header!
Danny Ward was christened Moodymanc by his peers at 2020 Recordings due to his heavily jazztinged productions and Mancunian roots. His Jazz musician credentials have led him to work with such beat luminaries as Rae and Christian, the Pharcyde, Fila Brasilia and many more before taking the drum and production seats in 2020 soundsystem with Ralph Lawson and Silver City.
Two widely acclaimed albums and many 12"s under the name Dubble D and as part of 2020 Soundsystem. Also released on labels Dessous, Tsuba, Third Ear, 2020Vision and most recently Dark Energy Recordings.

The release features four deep, melodic house tracks for your listening pleasure.

The Black Key team step up once again, this time with the third in their limited, vinyl-only series, with Freerotation resident and established producer, Tom Ellis, delivering 4 sublime tracks of subtle and hypnotic house music, in the form of the simply titled "Limited Volume 3".

Now undoubtedly an established and respected label, Brighton (UK) based Black Key Records are approaching their third year in the business, having released records from the likes of BLM, Iron Curtis, Pawas, Flori and Ugly Drums, all of which have gained attention for all the right reasons.

Here, Tom Ellis delivers an excellent and intelligent EP, with all 4 tracks displaying the talent this man posses for creating a unique and instantly likeable take on deep house music... the right kind. There is no question that this limited release will appeal to the real heads among us - quality stuff. This EP is yet another statement from the Black Key camp, proving their worth in true style.

FBNM is very excited to announce its next EP. As always the label tries to do more than just release music, instead adding things like tote bags, limited colour pressings and boutique artwork to make sure every package is extra special. This next red, vinyl only EP is from the vaults of pioneering 90s house producer, Rheji Burrell, one half of the ubiquitous Burrell Brothers.

At every point since house music's birth in the 80s, there have been key figures associated with its furtherance. For a period in the late 80s and early 90s, the most exciting releases of the day were coming from the New York studios of twins Rheji and Rhano Burrell. It was deep, rich stuff that touched on gospel influences and laid the foundations for the famous NYC sound we know today. Released on the label they helped co-found, Nu Groove, as well as working under their own names the brothers had countless aliases including New York House'n Authority, Tech Trax Inc and Utopia Project, with each one exploring some of the most accomplished house music of all time. Famously the label only lasted four years, but in that time it released an absolute wealth of material that still gets mined by real diggers to this day.

Ensuing years saw the brothers become go to producers for people from all musical backgrounds, but more recently the ever studious revivalists at Rush Hour have introduced the brothers to a whole new generation of fans. Testament to the quality of their vast output was how well it stands up today, so for FBNM to be offering up an EP of jams from Rheji's tape archive is an event indeed.

The two tracks offered up are typical warm, rich and full-blooded house affairs that bang with a real human heart. There are jazz chords, kinetic kicks and tons of raw drums all made on authentic old school gear.

On the flip is an edit of the A1 from a modern day pair of house talents. The Rimshooters are Italian/Brazilian duo Massimiliano Pagliara and Rotciv and together they have released on labels like Skylax and Jack Off. Their edit here is a delightfully well-swung and bouncing bit of dubbed out house.

To celebrate its 10 years of existence WeMe Records have asked to 13 artists of its catalogue to create unreleased tracks.

We are more than proud to announce the first LP on SlapFunk Records, by Chris Carrier. The LP will be called 'True Step Locomotion' and contains two 12" records full of dopeness. Chris has been releasing records for over 10 years, on labels like Robsoul, Adult Only and Apollonia, so it's an honor to welcome him to the SlapFunk Family!

For their next trick, the anonymous R-Zone crew turn out three darkly engaging cuts that once again look back to a ravey heyday for their inspiration, but at the same time conjure up some refreshing contemporary ideas that will no doubt have dancefloors in raptures. EP opener 'Onefourone' is an epic end of the night track with big drums, melancholic chords and a sombre sense of finality that makes you think the world could end anytime. 'Gravity' sounds like an invasion from space, with falling synth lines, buried deep drums and clattering percussion all making for a foreboding atmosphere. 'Stolen Birds' fills up the flip side with a groaning and darkwave synth line and cooing birdcalls. As big hi hats come in and glassy tinkles fill in the airwaves, it turns into a stormy affair that is both dancey and cerebral at the same time. As always with R-Zone, this is compelling, creative music that bristles and brims with all sorts of occult charm.

Robinn is clearly a name/act to discover, watch, and follow. When it comes to modern hybrids of post-dubstep, nu broken soul, eerie downbeat combined with this genuine spirit of the vocals by Nathaniel Pearn (Natural Self / Tru Thoughts) it's soothing and challenging in one go. Check Robin's debut album - Multiphonia' which was released on Compost in October 2013.

Cocolores comprises Jason Heath and Manuel Garay, two talented youngsters from Munich, currently living and working in London. Already getting love support from Maja Jane Coles, Luciano, Joakim, Ewan Pearson, Trickski and many more, their debut EP "Heart Quest" on Exploited is a blend of 90s house, with a delectable tinge of urban funkiness. Last year they released a Compost Black Label 12'. With the Inside EP on Dirt Crew Recordings they went deeper and darker to their usual sound,

Anushka, a Brighton-based duo Max Wheeler (producer) and Victoria Port (singer/songwriter) are a classic British concoction of jazz-inflected heady dance floor thrills. Maestro Gilles Peterson discovered them early enough and signed them for his Brownswood imprint. Check the awesome first two single releases.

Lukas Bohlender's track Club Château (Black Label #94) was a surprising stunner of last year, gaining much much respect from a lot of big names. His deep production skills just perfectly nestle to Nathaniel Pearn's moody vocals.

After a creative but very frustrating phase of combining their different musical styles (a broad variety from Drum 'n' Bass, to House, Techno, UK Garage and Post-Dubstep) they threw all of their initial ideas away and started from scratch. As a result, Tobi and Basti aka Heitzberg Theorem now concentrates on what's really important to them: producing bassy, heavy and danceable UK-influenced house music.

Hot on the heels of his 'Sweet & Spicy EP' on The W Label, DJ W!LD now unleashes Rainbow in my pocket EP. The four tracks see W!LD at his most underground and dirty; it's 3am music for when the freaks come out. Lead cut 'Rainbow In My Pocket' has a title which belies the deep, dark and thumping nature of the track, perfectly at home on the darkest, sweatiest dancefloors. 'Beats 2' is a DJ's dream tool - scattered percussion and a 'jack me till I start to scream' vocal loop relentlessly. On the B side, 'Tokyo 9am' has an impossibly deep bassline, energetic jacking beats and a vocal sample you may just recognise, while 'Murder City' is classic W!LD, featuring another intoxicating jacking beat and excursions into floaty breakouts. Another must have EP from a man at the very top of his game.

With a flying start to 2013 and more to come for B*Pitch Control, Rebellion (Crosstown Rebels), Rekids and Robsoul, the launch of his own DJ Bag, worldwide tours with Cocoon and Circoloco and a return to DC10, it's already turning into another suitably wild year for the Parisian.

About DJ W!LD & The W Label

A stalwart of the tech and deep house scene, DJ W!LD's career path began in the clubs of Paris in 1996. Working with Chris Carrier from 2005 under the name of Catwash (which also spawned the label) he became well known in the French house and techno scene. By 2009 he was touring the world, represented by the legendary Cocoon agency and playing their worldwide events, as well as landing a residency he retains for Circo Loco at DC-10 in Ibiza and becoming a regular feature on their international tours. The W Label launched in 2011 and was home to W!LD's critically acclaimed 'Palace' album and the club destroying singles it contained. The label is a place for W!LD's own productions, alongside that of his friends, allowing them reflect on experiences and musical influences. The label motto is 'we have W!LD records' and outings by Kerri Chandler, Art Department, Sis, Chris Carrier, Radio Slave, Phil Weeks and W!LD certainly back that up!
