RAWAX prouldy welcomes Mr. Emmanuel Pippin aka DJ Spookie to the Family! The man from Chicago released 2 absolutely fantastic records on legendary Relief Records. We have the honour to present them to you on vinyl again! First one will be the "What" ep - originally released in 1995!

It's Borft Payback time... Here comes tropical house, raj raj and mysteriousness.

Boost, Max D's third LP, is coming in February on Future Times. Seven songs acting on instinct. Check!
Mixed in Amsterdam with Jordan GCZ. Features additional instrumentation from Benedek, Jack J, Jordan GCZ, and Motion Graphics.

The first full length album on Junk Yard Connections, an album created by Your Planet Is Next. In a limbo of being narrative and abstract this naiv music turns up side down of different values in the music biz. Screenprinted cover by artist himself, all copies numbered.

Late September will see Ceri release her 'Truth' EP via Decay Records, backed with remixes from
Julien Sandre (Blind Box, These Days, Rawax) and OCH (Trelik, Bass Culture, All Inn).

London based producer and DJ Ceri has been steadily on the rise over the past decade. She shaped her
distinctive DJ style playing nine hour sets in the second room of Corsica Studios as one of Jaded's
official residents.

Her rising reputation then led to recognition from many electronic music institutions, such as fabric and
Percolate in London and Back To Basics in Leeds. Further afield, after supporting her music, Jamie
Jones welcomed her as a guest for his Paradise party at DC10 in Ibiza and she has graced the decks in
Berlin, Mexico, Switzerland and Italy too.

Amongst these impressive feats, Ceri is also widely recognised for her studio talents, with her releases and
remixes being played by everyone from Richie Hawtin to D'julz.

Title-track 'Truth', inspired as a response to Brexit, takes the lead with pulsating subs, bumpy rhythms,
tight-knit percussive shuffles and menacing sawtooth bass tones while spoken world vocal tones stating 'we
are all equal' and how we should live 'not with our minds, but with our hearts', further fuel the murky,
atmospheric aesthetic. Julien Sandre steps up to rework 'Truth' next, stamping his mark on things via
ethereal atmospheric flutters and robust, swinging drums.

The second original from Ceri, 'Be Mine', opens up the flip side, this time round embracing low slung
rhythms, a choppy tom-driven bass line and dynamic, tension building feel throughout with resonant synth
licks, vocal shots and string gradually unfolding. Autoreply main man OCH then closes the release with his
take on 'Be Mine', delivering a typically stripped back and groovy interpretation from the Berlin based artist,
focused on intricately programmed percussion and gritty bass stabs.

Maximized horny beats from the Copenhagen Underground Posse! The 2nd 'Liderlige Rytmer' compilation featuring a fresh batch of local house heroes. A throbbing, thrilling V/A containing five originals ranging chugging bass beaters, oldschool 909 bangers to beautiful, dreamy groovers. On this 12' you'll be introduced to: Terry Tester, Drøm aka. Frits Carøe, B From E, Anders Dahl plus label owners Daniel Savi and Daniel
Bruhn J. (aka. Dee Brown) as System D. Copenhagen Underground Posse (C.U.P.) is a vinyl label and music family based in Copenhagen, Denmark, dedicated to showing the world what the scene up North is about.

LiveJam Records' backbones EMG and John Swing make their first appearance as Vinalog on the sought-after Limited series of the label. This promo release prepares the ground for an upcoming double 12' soon out on LiveJam Records. 300 copies of heavy duty analogue cuts.

MANIK returns to FRESH MEAT with an EP written with us in mind. After successfully completing his second full-length for OVUM, the NYC native has created music inspired by Chicago's gritty roots. The 4 tracks speak to the raw, dark, basement vibe that so many of us grew up with. Released 2-5-18. HOUSE

Fang a Rough House Journey!

in the past ten years lots of little and big stories happened in the music culture. house literally disappeared almost from the scene in order to come back as strong as never before. 

minimal morphed back into techno while leaving the question mark why the term minimal ever got invented. some originators like frankie knuckles or romanthony passed away, while others like larry heard just stopped to perform. 

in-between countless new artists appeared, twisted dance music with new perspectives on the old, and released their fresh ideas on even more countless labels out there in the void called music market. 

one of the rare platforms that stayed solid as a rock in all these years is mule musiq, the tokyo based label that spreads miscellaneous sound vibes that long from jazz to disco, house, and unobtrusive ambient since 2004. 

with a versatile artist roster consisting of producers such as henrik schwarz, lawrence, dj sprinkles, dj jus-ed, kuniyuki, eddie c, roedelius, or new kids on the blog like barnt or lord of the isles the japan based record company developed a status of her own for being one of the most free spirited organisations in contemporary music. 

'if the music is good, any kind of music is welcome. i don't like labels which release one style music.' 

mule musiq's mastermind toshiya kawasaki once said in a rare interview. now he celebrates a ten years of freedom jubilee with the sixth instalment of his famed 'i'm starting to feel ok' compilation serial.  a real massive international anniversary celebration that is ventilating all what happened in the past ten years in order to form something that travels right into the future. and that is where mule musiq tries to be since a decade to tell some unheard musical stories that stay for good even when the future is long past.

The perfect balance between spontaneous melodies and astonishing beats, the exact dose of freshness and the basic ingredients that you can only find in top classic techno and house tracks. This is what many producers look for when they get into the studio, but this vision isn't something you can force: you either have it or you don't, but you can't fake it.

Dj, producer and label owner, Joris Biesmans' new Rhythm Cult Records EP reflects this bright and pushing energy music only found in those who innovate without sounding pretentious. Based in Berlin, you will easily find Biesmans sets in city's main clubs, from Salon zur Wilde renate to Watergate or Chalet. You don't need to find his studio to discover what he's been recently on, just use your vinyl needle and enjoy Sunday Love, Step by Step and Steady Stabbin' without rushes. Be careful, no one will let you go home if you play one of Biesmans' tracks in a club.

Waxtefacts comes in front again with a lushy EP straight from the gate keeper - Librarian!
A mixture of fine, subtile house tunes as well as some good old MPC swing tracks are ready to be served as part of his first EP.

A-Side is for paying respect! Librarian samples these classics from the library and delivers two exquisite pumping house tunes. Tape003 is gets you through a dreamy ride while "Bronx Key" brings in the classic 909 vibes!

The other side delivers originals from Strip Steve and Straydogpalace which follow absolutely no rules. "Last one and I'm out' continues developing the dream from "Tape 003" while One bedroom apartment' is just in its own galaxy of sonic experiences. Words are irrelevant, music speaks for WXTFX001.'

Waxtefacts returns with another raw joint! Real D and Interstate are warming up with some sunny vibes while Strip Steve builds it up with some metallic hihats and passes it to DJ Storch - who create a royal ending on the B-side. Another record which is yet to be loved

Bress Underground joins the Something Else family, pushing the sound of that timeless old skool sound, that 90's flava ooze through the tracks on his debut EP!!
