The Corner was listening to the streets and answered by finally releasing this monster by Fred P. Splitting Particles is a forward thinking futuristic techno stormer with unrelentless tension as we move through textures of techno this ep further moves to the deepest darkest Movements in music to Inspired improv-jazz keys ... The Corner sees this as a very inspiring record and is proud to be releasing it... Note must play LOUD!

After a string of successful releases on labels such as Diapham and Local Talk, Greek producer KINDIMMER joins forces with INSTINKT to deliver a deep and tasteful slice of heavy dance floor funk.

Already respected for his trademark tech-infused sounds, KINDIMMER goes one further on this ep with swinging percussion and infectious bass hooks.

The opening track PERSONALITY VESSEL combines dirty loose percussion in tandem with one of the fattest bass lines 2013 is likely to witness. Add to this KINDIMMER's trademark eerie pads and you have the makings of a dance floor weapon.

The second track SUREAL UNREAL takes things deeper and slower with more emphasis on layered percussion and open spaces. Giving the track plenty of breathing room while maintaining that trademark KINDIMMER swing.

Roberto Bosco delivers his debut for ART. A double pack of serene dub influenced Techno including elements of tribal percussion layerd over hypnotic extended arrangements. After esteemed releases on Mowar, Wave, Falkplatz and more - Bosco brings the unique flavour of southern Italian Techno via Berlin.

played by: Luciano, Marco Carola, Laurent Garnier, Ekkohaus, Pirupa, Marc Scholl, Jimpster, Florian Meindl, Ray Okpara and more...
Daniel Mehlhart reactivates the vinyl series of notes. He deliveres 3 quality tunes, right in time for the open air season. Not much more to say - you guys are tired of these lines anyways.

'Frank & Tony presents 004' is Francis Harris and Anthony Collins' fourth release as part of their collaborative series for their label, Scissor & Thread. Taking deep, organic house to newfound (and sophisticated) indie territories, the special run of EPs is quickly garnering a reputation for quality and 004 is set to follow. 'Holding On' presents a languid love lament. A deep and nostalgic melody meets thick-set yet kinetic drums, before a warm and somewhat detached vocal relays the story of love lost. A muted brass solo appears, as if in answer to the vocalist's melancholic words, all the while the atmosphere remains warm and balmy. The duo's 'Holding On Dub' lays testament to their intricately emotive production skills; no need for the vocalist's beautifully delivered lyrics here, the instrumental articulates the mood perfectly without.

The Holic Trax label started in 2012 by DJ and producer Tomoki Tamura now extends its legs into a new series that focuses on the many different shades of house music from producers new and old. Coming in two parts on limited run vinyl, each track was A&Red by the boss himself and the results are hugely entertaining. Part one offers four tracks, the first from Micha Klang & Kuroneko. The pair's If I Were You is a shuffling, jazzy chord laced house number with plenty of authentically aged sounding elements bristling next to each other. Rico Casazza then offers Rollin, a much more ducking and diving house track with trilling, incidental keys and a free flowing jazz energy. The flip sees JMF go deep and tough like might Bicep, with big sandy hits and surfing drums demanding you dance....

Limited one-sided dancefloor exciter called 'THE ELITE'. No repress... 150 copies then GONE. Big Tip!

Hot Trax is back with its third release '9 Weeks', from first class female producer Davina. Injecting her sexy and seductive French touch she delivers two distinguished tracks aimed firmly at the dance floor holding onto a classic house vibe yet pushing creative boundaries and showcasing her immaculate production skills.

The A Side '9 Weeks' is a hooky driving groover of a track. Getting heavy rotation from the Jamie Jones it's proving mainstay of his sets. This is a surefire crowd pleaser. On the flip and 'Moskitoes Cries' gets low-slung a dirty, great little vocal fills and stabs effectively punctuate the heavy rolling rhythms to keep them dancing.

Originally from New Caledonia, a French island between Australia and New Zealand, Davina is now resident in Ibiza. A successful DJ and live performing artist as well as being one of the worlds most in demand music technology tutors, she has recently had several releases on Push Push record, but has delivered a great two tracker on HOTTRAX.

Filtering through apocalyptic sunbeams, the iconic voice of Róisín Murphy shimmers above Luca C & Brigante's spacey vibrations in 'Flash of Light' - the next spark of brilliance from the ever more ubiquitous duo. In the shining trio of remixes, Solomun takes it straight to the neon club, while Tale Of Us cast their ghostly spell and Blond:ish bring a dose of dreamy tech...When a friend of mine introduced me to the music of Luca C & Brigante I was stuck with an apocalyptic feeling, as if I were listening to the sound of a party at the end of the world. And with such strong imagery coming to mind I was only too happy to write with them when they asked. 'Flash of Light' is about that last night on earth, a forewarning of the end of an era and a last chance to Love' - Róisín Murphy

"DEEP SHIT is brought to you by Jack Savidge of Friendly Fires and Edwin Congreave of Foals."
Deep Shit is the newly founded DJ collective, promotor and vinyl only record label based in the capital with a celebrity status.
The label was founded by indie superstars Jack Savage of Friendly Fires and Edwin Congreave of Foals as well as Adam Parylak.
Managing to work a glitzy electro pop into their day jobs in the underbelly the trio have a fancy for the deep sounds of future bass
music.
The debut release from the Deep Shit label came last year from Congreave with the afterhours moody house monster 'Heal'.

Championed by a certain Mr D. Carter for an age and a staple of Derricks sets, both in it's original form and as the accapella layered atop of a variety of oddities..
This massive DJ Spen sing-along finally gets an official release on The Classic Music Company. This particular limited vinyl release with custom wall paper labels sees the inclusion of the original and exclusive vinyl only accapella.
Additionally there's a freestyle version that Derrick stumbled across whilst DJing in Denver, expertly placing the accapella live over an old 1200 Warriors, Derrick wanted to include this version on the record as a homage to Richie Rich's Salsa House bootleg.
To round off the package he then set about destroying the original vocal with trademark BHQ cut ups and a baseline that harks back to Leslie Joy's "Love and Happiness".

After a string of releases under different pseudonyms, Shades is truly excited to announce Dan White's first release under his own
name, Simple Pleasures. Influenced by the lush melodics of early Kompakt releases, the playful grooves and all-out pop sensibility of
Dusky & Booka Shade's output, and the edgy, detailed electro of pioneers like the The Hacker and Alexander Robotnick, this bold
four-tracker of emotive tech-disco is progressive & modern, yet packed full of feeling.
Opener Mind & Heart feat. longtime collaborator Rudi Crone sets the stage in auspicious fashion, expertly folding brooding synths
and melancholic vox snatches into an atmospheric slice of twilight disco-house that wears its darkness lightly. Follower Always (co-
produced by Tjorven) offers a lighter, more summery vibe, setting ripe keys, jacking beats and plump basses against more
accomplished vocal sample work.
On the flip, things are taken a bit deeper and more uptempo with pensive deep house roller Inquest, and late-night stormer Deluge,
which jacks things up further before melting into dreamy, evocative synths dripping with longing and wanderlust. All in all it's hard to
play favourites here; each idea arrives fully-formed but never overcooked, a testament to the inimitable talent at the helm.

Purple Velvet is Chris James and Lee Dearn, two purveyors of deep and sensuous house music since forming in late 2011.

Having gotten to know each other at various late night music sessions, the pair have increasingly honed their own house sound that's as suited to the dark conSines of a club as it is the sunnier vibes of an outdoor terrace. Sparks Fly is gritty, dirty yet soulful at the same time. DeSinitely the work of a duo with a promising production knack. On the Slip Back On On The Boulevard featuring Lisa D on saxophone and Breathin are two late night drive jams, emotive and super lush.

An EP to dance to, that moves your mind and your feet. Deep music from the soul.

limited edition clear vinyl (100 copies only
A Man With No Past Originating The Future is Osunlade's newest offering and his most personal and diverse creation to date.

Featuring soulful electronic sounds, with songs like Vessel and Human Beings, this new album bridges a new spectrum in the musical palette. Osunlade's 7th studio album begins with the The Realm Of Difference, an ambient soundscape of air meeting the heartbeat of thought and distance. Sour The Plan, featuring newcomer Supreme, dives into political and social opinions on the world we live today, its clear demise and lack of organic vibration. Eclipse allows a jazz influx where syncopated rhythms dance around time signatures effortlessly. The signature funk in Luna Moth and Camera Shy pay homage to the Minneapolis sound without a copy in sight. Human Beings is a vocoder dream ballad floating on water, while Goddess provides a piano, flute dance. Overall, this album is an evolution and conscious realisation that individualistic music means more than what is being offered.

A Clear focus in production and approach, A Man With No Past Originating The Future is meant to soothe the soul and heal the heart. If you're looking for what you think you know of the music of Osunlade, you will stand corrected. A Man With No Past Originating The Future is an endeavour of passion. A Love of Self and a call for more than hope in the world. It asks you to see things for what they are and not for what they seem. It's simply good music.

11 totally exclusive tracks from the second Undergound Sound Of Miami release from the mighty Bedrock label, selected by John Digweed.

Milanese duo The Barking Dogs return to the Gomma label for a superb new single featuring Rush Hour's Tom Trago and a remix from the ever-excellent Analogue Cops. 'You High' show's why the pair have been picking up dedicated support from the likes of James Murphy (DFA), Soul Clap and Toally Enrmous Extinct Dinosaurs.
Italian DJ/producers Cristian Croce and Nicola Mazzetti AKA The Barking Dogs have been building an enviable reputation over the past 5 years. Releasing music through their own Barking Dogs label, running their own Discosafari nights and touring as DJ's, they have established themselves as a force to be reckoned with. The pair are also the owner of one of Milan's leading record stores Serendeepity.
2012 saw the Dogs join forces with one of German's pre-eminent electronic music labels, the Munich based Gomma. Gomma need little introduction having been the driving force behind music from the likes of Munk, Headman, Whomadewho & Dimitri From Paris, pushing the boundaries of nu-disco, house, techno and electronica for well over a decade with a perpetual eye towards the future. The Barking Dogs 'Mamarracho / Linked In' single has been one of the highlights of the year so far, generating heavyweight DJ support and being used to open the Radio 1 Essential mix from Total Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs.
The follow up EP kicks off with title track 'Your High' and sees The Barking Dogs team up with Rush Hour artist Tom Trago for a wonderfully off kilter slice of electronic music. Warm bass, heavily delayed claps and skittering percussion work around subtle vocal edits, abstract piano chords and sonic sweeps to wonderful effect and create a record that has a truly unique feel. The original is backed up with a remix from Italy's The Analogue Cops who create a mix that is a wonderful fusion of live elements and techno sensibilities, sublime stuff.
The EP is completed with two further original recordings, the bubbling acid techno/disco of 'Margherita' which sees the boys melding acidic analogue lines with jazz inflected techno percussion and 'Ebony' which takes things on an interplanetary tangent with its bass driven, sci-fi brilliance.
The Barking Dogs are genuinely talented and truly unique, pair them with the Gomma label, Tom Trago and The Analogue Cops and you've got a pretty special single indeed!

Roundtree could be the alias of a very well known (perhaps legendary) producer who might want to remain anonymous. We're not saying, or perhaps we just did, I'm not sure. Anyhow, two rather crisp housers on offer here, 'G-String Diva' with it's sharp as nails percussion and female spoken vocal which lends the track a nicely sleazy edge and 'No Need For the V' with it's prominent baseline driven grove. Enjoy!

Seit 2005 ist die "Black Label"-Serie des Münchner Labels Compost ein Garant für Clubhits, die sich irgendwo zwischen House, Techno und Disco bewegen. Nun steht die fünfte CD-Werkschau an, mit von der Partie sind Tracks und Remixe von bewährten Kräften wie Phreek Plus One, Osunlade, Woolfy, DJ T. oder Rainer Trueby sowie hotten Newcomern wie Emil Seidel, Philipp Stoya oder Emilie Nana. Thomas Herb, der seit vier Jahren die "Compost Black Label Sessions" in den Münchner Clubs Harry Klein und Bob Beaman gehostet hat, bringt die 16 Tracks in einem so stilsicheren wie techisch ausgereiftem DJ-Mix zusammen, der mit seiner warmen Dynamik besticht.

Praterei might not be the most prolific of labels, but the quality is always way above the quantity. The fourth release on the Viennese imprint comes from local boys done good The New Tower Generation, with a heady two track offering that fits right in with the label's ethos of focusing on the essence of House. The amusing titled "Horny Goat Weed" is a perm twisting delight, with the grainy string sample remoulded to align with the loose jacking rhythms and rave indebted keys. "Trembolon" finds The New Tower Generation in an altogether mellower mood, building with poise from its sonorous beginnings to a glorious mid point crescendo of rising synth lines.
