After offering-up Paratrooper as part of DJ Tennis' recent DJ Kicks, the Israeli duo Red Axes arrive on Life and Death for an original EP. Sami is a post-Moondog Shamanic tribal trip, while Round combines dilapidated Post-Goa electronics with just the right amount of cowbells and guitars psych. Vego is a lo-if western spaghetti full of Tape delays and amplifiers sauce , while Pulse waves and wind blows on a big Russian bell at the title track Kalacol. A record that could only come from Niv and Dori - another reconfiguration of the Life and Death mausoleum.

We are pleased to present you the second EP of the infernal duo INTERNACIONAL ELECTRICAL RHYTHMS formed of Trikk and Mathias Schober. Let's dive right in and start with "Azaka" and it's live recorded percussions. This track just builds and builds until it falls back into that irresistible and sexy main groove. It reminds a bit of old DJ Gregory tracks - just 10 BPM less. Some would even say it is epic, we wouldn't argue though. Anyways, it serves the dance floor well and proved it many times in the past.
The second track "Kosanba" keeps the EP in balance. "Kosanba" sounds more like a Sci-Fi movie soundtrack at first listen. A basic rhythm built around a modular sequence, upright piano, washed out guitars and an eerie spacey melody with tons of reverb form a track that still works in a club context, yet it's definitely one of those tracks for the right moments as it sets a different tone for sure. Bruno and Mathias sure continue what they've started so well last year with their INTERNACIONAL ELECTRICAL RHYTHMS disguise.
Minimal hypnotic electronic dub sounds from Contrast Wax label boss Mark Graham.
The package includes two groovy remixes from Coffee Pot (Limo + Guido Nemola) and Herr Spiegelhauer

After previously helming the second NorthSouth release alongside Bilal, Berlin-based minimal house maverick Christian Jay returns to the burgeoning label with more of his distinctive grooves that draw as much on bass-heavy garage and dubstep as they do on stripped back 4/4. The tempo is ramped up on "Reform," which features a plethora of wriggling sound design flourishes to accentuate the subtle swing on the track, while "Deactivating HAL" places the same sound palette in a more crafty 2-step framework that ranks among the most distinctive tracks Jay has produced to date. On the flipside. Rob Amboule follows up strong turns on 20:20 Vision, Nixwax and OSMAN with his own deep-diving dancefloor constructions. There's an irresistible insistence to the drums on B1 cut "Something For Thomas," while "Swedgin On The Corner" switches stance for a dreamy yet uptempo trip loaded with misty-eyed pads and other such cosmic delights.

The 75th EP on Moon Harbour is one that connects the past with the present: the release is
made up of three remixes and re-edits of classic tracks by label boss Matthias Tanzmann.
Charged with serving up these goods are one third of Apollonia, namely Frenchman Shonky,
Saved Records boss Nic Fanciulli and his brother Mark and, finally, Matthias himself updates
one of his own cuts.
That cut is 2008's 'Keep On', taken from Matthias' artist album Restless. The newer version is a
tweak and tidy job that subtly injects a little more roll and slide into the original's shuffling drums.
The drunken synth sounds and infectious, never ending groove remain, but everything shines
that bit brighter: dance floors will no doubt be delighted to hear this one dusted off and dropped
once again.
The next track under the spotlight is 2011's 'Puddle Trouble' by Matthias in collaboration with
label regular Dan Drastic. English brothers and influential figures in the tech house scene, Mark
and Nic Fanciulli are the ones who remix this and do so with a keen sense of rhythm. Their
version hurries along in elongated rhythmic fashion with lots of wobbly synths, subtle drops and
distant sirens all adding to the hypnotic and increasingly intense sense of groove. It fits in
perfectly with the Moon Harbour canon and is a timely update.
Lastly, Frenchman Shonky, who is a DC10 regular with his comrades in Apollonia and has just
released his debut LP with the same outfit, edits Tanzmann & Stefanik's 'Basic Needs' from
2006. This one is a little more electro inclined with its restless bassline, slapping percussion and
jumbled drums. Prickly and kinetic but with a bulbous bassline holding it all together, this one is
perfect for those late night freak outs.
Proving that Moon Harbour have evolved on their own terms whilst always staying true to their
roots, this EP is yet another modern tech house masterclass.

Sebastian and Chris have been close colleagues in the music scene since they both started their journey about a decade ago. Since then, they have joined forces on this magnificent release that includes two new original collaborations and two remixes by a couple of their favorite artists, Alan Castro and Coriesu. Both tracks, 'Alligator Alley' & 'Ode tu Udo' feature hints of afro-cuban rhythm patterns with the use of instruments like the cajon, congas and the udo drum to name a few. These sounds combined with punchy kicks, rolling bass-lines and melodic synth work are sure to reel in the listener closely.

We're finishing 2015 with what is pretty much a mini LP by Borrowed Identity, an inspired producer based in Freiburg.
There's a lot here and we think you should just listen to and enjoy the record, draw your own conclusions, but what we will say here is the A is ballsy house and the B is tough techno that touches on trance occasionally. Get why it's called The Contrast

This is Cómeme bringing more hot rhythms to the dancefloors of 2017 and beyond - this time starring Charlotte Bendiks from Tromso, Norway with her smashing and generous EP: 'Hidden Tracks' - the first Cómeme EP produced north of the polar circle! Charlie is a spaced out chica doing dark humour techno hotness - scared and attracted by encounters with ghosts and ghouls, lost souls, insomnia and aurora borealis frenzy - these mystical experiences drive her to do her own take on physical dancefloor pleasure and pain, spinning records or playing live alongside Jon-Eirik Boska, who also features on this 12'.
Let's dive into a parallel world of gothic ukuleles, isolated villages and their myths, juvenile silliness and arctic deepness.

'Good things come to those who wait'... Especially to those who wait for the next original Dennis Ferrer release on his imprint, Objektivity. 'Maniac 3000' is the second anthemic single from Ferrer's much anticipated upcoming album on Defected, 'Paranoia Aftermath', to drop early 2017. Tapping into his techno-roots for this one, Ferrer has managed to create an unlikely union between the groovy techno drums and the suspense of arpeggiated synth line. In Ferrer's own words the track was 'an attempt to go backwards, to move forward'.

Detroit techno pioneer Kevin Saunderson has revived his underground house moniker E-Dancer with 'Into the Future,' a rolling futuristic nod to the sound of Detroit Techno. Swirling retro-future synths, echoed out claps and solid bass line that just screams Detroit. The track's gritty yet groovy sentiment is a perfect continuation of the very first E-Dancer album Heavenly, released in 1998.
Before i started my festival season this year, i went to the studio in
Berlin and recorded some tracks for my sets. These two tracks i´ve been playing again and again, so they became the soundtrack of my summer. They are as hypnotic and freaky as my DJ sets are. I used some of my favorite instruments, the 303, the 909 and the Minimoog to create two tracks full of murky, distorted vocals, strange breaks and pure drastic emotion in beat form. This record is my definition of the Allien sound. One of my recent projects is Vinylism, where i play vinyl sets in some of my favorite record stores all around the world. I started with Lucky Records Island, then Discos Paradiso in Barcelona and will continue at Ultrasuoni Rome,Smallville Paris and Phonica London. Also my radio show Braincandy, is back on Ibiza Sonica, as a one hour mix every Monday from 7 - 8pm. And I´m touring with my "We Are Not Alone" events, where i invite my favorite artists to play with me. Next Station is the ADE week in Amsterdam and Magda, Cassy and Johanna Schneider will join me. In Berlin, my favorite place is IPSE at the moment. We had a few amazing BPitch partys there this year, good times in the little warehouse and the beautiful garden on the riverside...

Fjaak's path led them from the periphery to the centre and from there further through the world. Their self titled debut album for Monkeytown is as much of a summary of what had happened in the previous three years as it is an artistic statement. "FJAAK" combines the energetic peak-time sound of the Berlin-based trio's acclaimed Techno singles like 'Unten / Oben' with sophisticated breakbeat arrangements and atmospherically dense Ambient textures. These eleven tracks are the provisional highlight in a unique success story which started aside club culture's conventions and to this day refuses to compromise.
Felix Wagner, Aaron Röbig and Kevin Kozicki were still teenagers when they developed a distinct sound which positioned itself outside beaten paths, both geographically and musically speaking. The trio cut their teeth in Berlin-Spandau's open-air scene and celebrated their frst success in the city's center shortly thereafter before taking the Techno world by storm with their elaborate analogue sound. Having released a few records, they found a permanent home on Modeselektor's Monkeytown in 2014 while incessantly traveling the world.

The very talented Mr. John Daly delivers four master class House tracks for Couldn't Care More. 'It's All Around You' and 'One Four Tee' let deepness and passion rule in full swing while 'Rescue' rides smoothly on a huge bass line. And 'Stay Close' is nothing but a fascinating groove. Inspired and timeless vibes by John Daly, if you have a floor to fill this record comes handy for sure.
He's ridden us raw with his naked piano, made our booties clap so hard we've needed medical care, shown us his titsss and he's even taken us to the mo... Wherever that is. Now Belgian wunderkind Kill Frenzy is about to flip the biggest switch of his career and whisk us away on his most exciting, most extensive dirtybird adventure yet: His long-awaited debut album Taylr Swft.
Famed for his ability to carve carnal drama from one smouldering 808 sermon and a sleazy panty-dropping vocal loop, here we find Sebastian Vanschoonbeek developing his uncompromising, ghetto-bound repertoire with serious maturity, depth and class. Building on his well-established bass-laced bedrock, each of these cuts flex with dynamics that will find favour with all house and techno connoisseurs and do so with complete consistency as a whole body of work... hell, they work so well dirtybird bossman VonStroke is almost reluctant to release them.
"I'm almost sad to start sharing the new Kill Frenzy album with everyone else because it has been my secret weapon all summer. At one point I was playing seven tracks from the album in the same set, it was almost embarrassing. I'm very fickle about choosing what I play and this album is amazing."
Proof of Kill Frenzy's next-levelism is evident in every single direction; the cavernous thundering march of "All Night Long,' the bouncy techno fluctuations of 'Inflation,' the sultry deep house dish 'XXX,' the sheer tech tenacity and roof-burning electro-fication of 'Lava,' the delicate jazz keys and purring sub bass of 'So Fine'... The list goes on.
Press play, then press it again for good measure: debut albums often dangerously dice with displays of inconsistent dexterity, but with Taylr Swft Kill Frenzy has carefully created a collection that completely makes sense of his past work while staring guilefully into an exciting future. A bona fide dirtybird document that confirms Kill Frenzy's position as one of electronic music's boldest creators, Taylr Swft is everything you could possibly want from a modern day album: dancefloor gold, depth, range and an unswerving narrative.

Debut album Nothing Is Still on black heavyweight vinyl.Plus accompanying Novella co-written by Leon Vynehall and 60 x 40 poster housed in a hard back box.
Includes download code.
Following on from 2 critically acclaimed double EPs in Music For The Uninvited & Rojus, Leon presents his first album proper, expanding on his already well crafted sound to offer an exciting and immersive sonic journey. The album follows a multi layered and ambitious narrative inspired by Leon's grandparents emigration to New York, where they spent nearly a decade living throughout the 1960's.
The story is presented over four different mediums, Literature, Music, Film, and Photography, culminating with a live experience bringing each element together to form a modular and multi-faceted campaign.
As mentioned above, this is a multi-faceted campaign & accompanying the LP will be a Novella written by Leon & his friend. Inspired by the mood and feeling of each chapter of the Novella, Leon has composed music conveying the mood, emotion and flow of the writing which form sonic representations of the narrative. As a scene is set in the literature, or the mood and pace of a chapter changes, so does the music, so every shift in dynamics cleverly complements the writing.
In addition to writing, composing, playing and producing this album, Leon conducted a 10 piece string section headed by arranger and composer Amy Langley. Vynehall also called upon saxophonist and flautist Finn Peters, and jazz pianist Sam Beste to provide additional playing, all mixed with Blue May at the legendary Konk Studio.
The result is an album which displays Vynehall's growth and maturity as a musician and sees him release his first proper debut LP as a fully fledged artist.

Following their previous Mantra EP, Polybius Trax present here another three track EP from Mantra showcasing a variety of acid styles. Opening track, Blackout, is a solid, no-nonsense acid techno workout, perfect for a strobe filled warehouse, and features builds and drops layered with ethereal tones. Emanation is a maelstrom of moving synth sounds, bouncing delay lines and vocal-like klaxons that combine to disorientate the listener. Final track, Mirage is a classic bad attitude acid track with an unnerving acid line that weaves in and out of aggressive percussive lines.
BLD is back on his own imprint offering For Rave Use Only, a 4-tracker EP full of early 90's Acid Techno reminiscences.
Showing once more his versatility, these eclectic Club-oriented bangers are ready to wake up any warehouse!

"Shatterdome", cut deep across the whole first side of this record, is a no-prisoners-taken club workout that comes of surprisingly lightheaded with a pushing low-end and dusky athmo-stabs. "Lola T70" is a late night car chase on cyber-highway, reminiscing THX-1138 leaving everything behind in the classic George Lucas sci-fi film: A state of floating acceleration and melancholy. "Say Hi to everyone" is signature.
It's winter in Detroit and Fit Siegel has given us "Carmine", a moody techno classic perfect for the lonely season. Subtle, low-key and thumping, the title track revolves around a bittersweet piano lead, elegiac 303 and Blade Runner string swells. It's a high-tech driving song in the tradition of Model 500's low-key classic "Pick Up The Flow" and FIT sounds more assured than ever. "First Found" is Mills-ian jigsaw puzzle techno imbued with breathy and addictive humanity. Stacatto, free-jazz informed piano solos lock into ping-pong synths -- eventually, a female vocal emerges over a bed of arpeggiated bass. Loose yet robotic, "First Found" is first-rate Detroit techno mysticism. The record as a whole is a worthy entry into the Motor City's storied canon from a leader of the new school.

As Mosaic reaches release number 40, Steve O'Sullivan dives into another studio collaboration with his new label mate and expert hand, Mike Schommer - bringing in the talents of Rod Modell on remix duties. Etching two slices of dub heavy grooves that cover either side of the techno and house spectrum, their first effort emphasises the former on title track "Submerged" (B1). It doesn't pull any punches - precision moulded bass takes centre stage around evolving synths and classic delay action.
Their 2nd "Depth Charge Dub" (B2) leans more towards the latter as the duo focus on the combination of a rolling sub, laidback percussion and subtle stabs that cycle gently around.
The cherry on top comes in the form of Rod Modell's "DeepChord's Negative-Space Exploration Version" as he takes a 9 min trip to the hinterland of his sonic imagination, elegantly finding new layers and spatial effects. Call it what you will, 'dubbed out house with a splash of techno' or 'dubbed out techno with a splash of house' - this is heavyweight material.

Definition presents his own creations once again to Definition:music in the form of the stunning 6 track - Progession LP . Living up to his reputation, the tracks are as engaging as they are addictive and always pushing the envelopes.
Opening the show on a warm note, Come Down feat Liu Bei delicately teases us as it blooms into a massive blend of smooth synths and titillating percussion. Midway through weíre treated to an elegantly coordinated break-beat, adding a special touch and unfolding a new dimension to the track.
The title track is up now. Definition projects an electric landscape in which we ride through the night on a steel horse made of pure
electricity toward the peak-time rush and unearth ëProgressioní. A solid track throughout, from the first deliberate kick, to the delicate break and beyond.
Janus brings thick and gritty bass stabs to a driving tech house
groove, creating a blend of deep, dark realms with a hot and steamy pressure. Easing into warmer waters,
2Caught Out is vocally supported or rather enriched through the voice of Peter Joseph. A smooth and cuddly but packing groove that pushes straight into your brain never to release you after listening to it for the first time. This track produces happiness, peace and a good dose of bliss my friends!
Without Any Doubt slowly rises from nothing and transforms itself into a beast of beautiful orchestra of chords and harps.
Finally, one last vocal track to bring closure to the LP. This Mystery feat. Jinadu is a power ballad that delivers on all fronts and spreads a warm glow with a solid groove.

Joe Lewandowski is another treasure discovered by the rising label Deep & Roll. The A side reminds us some 90's house diamonds: 'Where is' contains mesmerizing gospel vocals calling for love. 'Powa' has a more groovy vibe with patterns that bring us back to Chicago.
The B side opens with 'I Need To', a track recorded with Jazz singer Lili B. It shows a more melancholic and deep side of the Parisian DJ. The last track 'Lourd' explores the other influences of Joe Lewandowski with an Italo-Disco and leftfield techno feeling.

Following a slew of acclaimed remixes for the likes of Andhim, Sailor & I, DJ Dozia and Sebastian Mullaert and a one-off single with Joran van Pol, Voorn returns with a pair of stunning new tracks for his GREEN imprint.With this release I'm making a bridge between last year and this. Looks Fake Obviously is a dark haunting track with a sweet melody that slowly drags you into the light. Dawn (Green Mix) brings new life to a sound that I was once so familiar with, Detroit techno. Although this mix is more house than techno, it features characteristic melodies of the 90's Detroit sound that I loved when I started to make music around the year 2000. This is only the first of a few Detroit inspired tracks that will surface this year. For me it's like things went full circle, coming back to a sound where chord stabs, pads and warm bass are very present.' - Joris Voorn, Selected feedback: Davide Squillace - LFO rocks, Joris always on the point. Monika Kruse - 2 wonderful new tracks Joris! Tiefschwarz - 2 really beautiful tracks here. Thank you for sending. Lee Burridge - A fun release Joris!
Gregor Tresher - Great new music by Joris. I really like LFO - it ´s so cool when the Kick comes back in after the buildups in the breaks. Great release Joris!
