The saws and sines have aligned! It's HOW007 time.

The release in front of your face is called The 417. It is three songs by Daniel Savio released on 12" vinyl strictly limited to 200 copies + an everlasting (we'll see how that works out) digital version of those same songs.

This recording was conjured up on machinery people are known to touch and sell. MK1 menu diving desktop stuff. Stuff that is ten years old, stuff that may be older. Stuff that purrs, rocks, bounces and skates. Machine prototypes on trade show floors will not be able to make songs like these. Unless you would hand them to Daniel which would lead to all sorts of inconsistencies in time.

Last year Daniel Savio's "Race To The Bottom" and his "Plejjern från Plejaderna" album took Swedish house music by storm. It is now with great delight that we hand you this 12", acclaimed by well-informed DJs. Music centred around feelings for what is in front of our faces at the moment. HOW007, get in while you can.

Absence Seizure Is a new Limited Edition vinyl NYC imprint. Brought to you by DJ Matuss and NYC's own Abe Duque.
Focused on late night dance music. Deep Techno, Soulful Minimal, Shallow House, Mesmerizing Music,

Renowned Argentinean artist Franco Cinelli returns to Unlock Recordings with three intricate 'Cuts From The Vault' this September.

One of Argentina's most respected producers, Franco Cinelli has been making music for over two decades. The Rosario-born artist has made a name for himself with excellent releases on the likes of Djulz' Bass Culture, Esperanza and Raum...music, not to mention his collaborative project alongside Dario Zenker named Maria Fresca on Ilian Tape. With so many of the upper echelons of house, techno and minimal supporting his tracks, including Ricardo Villalobos himself, Franco Cinelli's inimitable productions are not to be overlooked.

Originally released in 2009 and now finally getting a proper vinyl release, Cinelli's remix of Saccobros 'Why Not' constructs an energetic narrative that extends over ten minutes. Tight kicks work alongside looped atmospherics as a muffled hook and infectious sample add to the heightening suspense.

'Cuts From The Vault' also sees two new productions from the Argentinian. 'Morph Sense' is the more twisted of the two, demonstrating a medley of clicks and whirrs whilst sci-fi inspired arpeggios operate throughout. As the name suggests, 'Dub Sine Of The Moon' is the deepest cut on the package, with its crunchy percussion and subterranean tape delays that form a hypnotizing aesthetic from start to finish.

Tastemaking UK label Decay Records is branching out with a new vinyl only sub label
entitled The One and Only. Behind the first release is acclaimed Belgian producer Igor
Vincente, who serves up a stunning one sided vinyl release to get the new label underway.

Decay Records is the work of Davide Zeta aka one half of DZeta 'N' Basile. Since
inception in 2013 the label has excelled at club ready sounds from the likes of Alex Arnout,
Neverdogs and Franck Roger, and now indulges a slightly different side with the arrival of
The One and Only, which is sure to become another essential label.

Igor Vincente is a relative newcomer, with just two Eps to his name since 2014. They have
come on top labels Hot Creations and Mobilee, and marked our Igor as someone with a
fine grasp of groove. He proves that once more with a perfectly formed new track,
'Jasmin'.

It is an immediately absorbing deep house cut with woodpecker like hits riding over the top
of a rolling, rubberised drum line. Warm pads and a very humid atmosphere ooze out of
the track and infuse it with oodles of intimate soul. A whispered female vocal adds an
organic, human element and it doesn't take much to imagine this one really going on to
become a cult underground hit.

Smoky and seductive, this new release from The One and Only is a fine way to kick off
what is sure to be an interesting label.

"Material X Series 10th installement with vinyl only seection. Supported by Jamie Jones!"

Franksen, Rafa Zoe, Redux - FRIENDS IN RHYTHM EP Incl. Remixes by Pascal FEOS, Tom Wax, Ill-Boy Phil & Sebastian Fleischer TREIBJAGD RECORDS

After a row of releases over the last 5 years (from Suara to Circle Music, Stir 15, Houseworx, Save Room Records and many more) connector Franksen returns with his friends to TREIBJAGD RECORDS: second time around as he released a vinyl EP here last year with dub-techno legend D. Diggler.

Long-term Frankfurt house-player Franksen and friends deliver classic house and techhouse - firmly rooted in modern clubs, as much as reflecting the sound history. The FRIENDS IN RHYTHM EP is all about love and friendship, whether you listen at the sound signatures or look at the artists involved.

WAIT NOW sees Franksen and new-shot Rafa Zoe get down in warehouse manner. Wailing deep n dark Moog basses are weighed by sharp synth sounds with a Detroit feel and hissing beats that sure have an addictive vibe! Techno legend Tom Wax switches round the dominance of the original chords, delivering an even straighter yet playful old school techno tune.

CHARADE is a sleeping giant - merging Franksen's groove excellence with Redux' knowledge of 'even more bass'. Keep it rollin' in your warmup and the room will adopt the low slung yet feverish groove. Play it peak-time-ish and the bass will sweep the floor. A timeless beauty made of strong percussions, a whole lotta vibes and lowered depths wrapping everything up in an especially warm blanket. Techhouse icon Pascal FEOS drops a a little weight to come with an elegantly rollin' remix deriving magic from minmal workouts.

Newcastle-born, Mexico-based Man Power debuts on Optimo Trax with two psychasonic missives cut extra loud for optimum sound system performance.
We asked Man Power for some words about this release and he told us -
"Both tracks sound different, but they're both from the same place in as much as they represent a conscious effort by me to strip back some of unnecessary niceties in my music and really sharpen my focus on what makes people dance without crossing the fine line of what makes me sound like me."

Let present you our next piece of jewelry, "The Womb EP" . Neverm!nd appeared for the first time on Wirsindeins Records

with a remix of Iori Wakasa his track "Take U Antarctica" and now they are present with their own EP. "The Womb" "Shadows"

and "Mobiers" three tracks full of nicely matched percussions, tight baselines and greatful pads. Everything your heart desires

and the demands of your mind of course. Higuchi, our first family member launched its 2 track EP in 2013 on our label and

now he is supporting this huge release with a brute and yet beautiful remix.

Since the early aughts, Alan Abrahams aka Portable has been producing records for labels like Perlon, Live At Robert Johnson, K7, and Süd Electronic. With his new band project 'RANGEr', the releases as Bodycode and Portable and his very own label Khoikhoi to be launched this summer, the South Africa born Alan Abrahams is an artist in-between genres. 'A Life Without Notifications' is now here, marking his first release for Dial records.

Plush. Palace.
regularfantasy's music is about as plush as it gets, filling your area with bright melodic blankets for which to throw around your bod. Turning it into a plush palace of sorts, if you will. Half of this record seems designed to sooth you while the other half is all about getting you steppin'. Our pal dj zozi comes in with an absolute heater of a remix, taking you to planets unknown and raves gone by. Without a doubt, the party is gonna be turned out.

We are back with another 4 track EP, called Walk Back'. This time we have the honour of having Sinan Kaya from Istanbul on board.
He released on City Life, Society 3.0, Bubendzauber, Cyanide etc. Walk Back' and To The Stars', both tracks with a sexy
and groovy touch, the Remixes are produced by Luca M & Bfly as a duo and Jumaira.

"These tracks have been the killer cuts for Jamie JOnes and Mihalis Safras! Top tunes only on wax from Material - HOT!"

R&S welcomes Acid Mondays for a 12" of lysergic house music that reaches far into the outer cosmos.
Formed "somewhere in the 5th dimension' Acid Mondays is the cosmic coalition of fellow psychonauts Negghead (Dan Ward) and Lex Wolf (Alex Wolfenden).

Repeated transformative visits to Ibiza culminated in landing regular slots at Circoloco where they have been testing this tune in the dance all Summer long.

'Universal Rhythm', their latest interstellar dispatch and debut on R&S is their finest work to date. An anthemic paean to the cosmos that features an impassioned spoken word missive from shamanistic MC Shovell, impressively recorded in a single take, making the case for the universality of experience and oneness of all beings.

Latin rhythms fuse with a driving Fender Rhodes lick (provided by JD73) and percolating cow bells to hypnotic effect. This calls to mind a combination of classic Carl Craig and Villalobos at his most playful. R&S new signing The Maghreban supplies a killer dubbed out take on the original that strips away the heavy kicks and pumps up the percussion, hurtling the synth pads to the fore that comes on like John Carpenter peaking on MDMA.

Dino Lenny's Fine Human Records introduces the electronic talent of Black Mami with two dark and hypnotic driving cuts.

Title track 'Industria Con Vista' leads the release with its enticing and cinematic retro-meets-future mood. A theme that continues on 'Tokyo Express', which plays out like the soundtrack of an imaginary meeting between Black Mami heroes, Trevor Horn & Yello. His most recurrent of dreams.

To know what's up right now, we must understand what went down in history... 'Rave History': Easily one of Catz 'n Dogz most evocative, classically-informed and ferociously euphoric pieces of work to date, this is a celebration of every black wax brick laid in the foundations of dance music culture. Every hand that was ever raised in sweaty exultation. Every stranger whoever got hugged on the dancefloor for no reason but pure love for the moment. Every whistle. Every horn. Every damn time. From its quintessential break to its iconic vocal via its sizzling bass-heavy groove; 'Rave History' is the ultimate finale piece, a show-stopping opener or a wild mid-set excursion. It resonates with everything that's relevant now and everything that's ever been relevant. Loaded with pure positivity, this will complement any style of DJ set, any crowd, any age, any country. This is our DNA. For added euphoric stimuli, the Szczecin boys have also thrown in a kickless hype tool in the form of the feel-heavy Life Mix. Choral pads, cascading FX, dramatic one-strike piano notes, splashing cymbals and that almighty vocal sample that comes with one essential message every single one of us can raise our sweaty hands and hug strangers to: no matter how weird things feel in the world right now, when we're together with like-minded dancing neighbours, everything is going to be ALL RIGHT.

Our boss Claude VonStroke is the busiest guy we know. When he's not traveling the world or curating an event, he's in the studio every day putting in hours upon hours, relentless in perfecting his craft. He's had a slew of hits the past couple years in the form of remixes and collaborations, and now with the 'Walay (My Bae)' EP, Claude gets back to some inventive and somewhat 'out of the box' solo works.

The title song leads with a melodic riff and an funky vocal that sounds like a defective cyborg is proclaiming love for his partner, 'Walay.' This quasi-human uses the slang 'My Bae' to try and pass for human and we almost believe in his passion. The sound harkens back to old classic rave tracks but also pushes very modern production techniques.

On the flip, 'Raw Nerve' is an emotional exploration in both sounds and lyrics. A melancholy VonStroke dives deep into his insecurities and fears with sonically mutated lyrics like 'I'm feeling so sad, I'm feeling real bad today. When I see you on the street I dont want to compete.' You can feel the social instability oozing out of the vocal only to come back at the close with a violently hard bassline embodying the personal angst and frustration that goes along with not 'fitting in.'

The 2nd release on Steady Work By Dear Friends features Conti with his exceptional consignment to all lovers of left field approaches to house and bass loaded music. Contis MA Lumps EP allows you to get a feeling for the crocking of the toxic but cheering industrial spheres of the city of Mannheim. This Ep is an emulsion out of distorted beats, field recordings, sampled baselines and vocal snippets, processed through a mpc, tracks in a rough tape compression mix style. Funky-But-Not-Funky-Kraut-Hop-House at it`s best. Slope down from your faith by those lumps.

New York's DJ Spider returns to Rekids with four murky vinyl-only cuts this November. A highly respected label owner, DJ Spider is well known for helming esteemed imprints like Plan B, Sub Level Sounds and BTU music. As a producer he has made appearances on the likes of The Trilogy Tapes, BleeD, KilleKill and Vanguard Sound!, whilst last year saw him make his debut on Rekids. Returning to the imprint, the American artist follows DJ Deep, Jon Hester and FBK for the fourth outing in the Rekids Special Projects vinyl series. Opening with 'Mobius Strip Revisited', a squelching bass line and rolling percussive loops underpin ethereal pads and airy atmospheres before an extended keyboard solo plays over inspired chord progressions and a grooved low-end to give 'Antikythera Mechanism Part 2' an improvised feel. On the flip we have 'Sub-Atomic Vibrations', providing a series of irresistible lead synth melodies and crunchy drum compositions followed by 'Struggles With Phantoms', an unrelenting rhythm section lays the foundation for an evolving mid-range giving the release a stylish close.

Once again DOMPE represents his talent und comes along with his newest EP called SIMPLE, released as usual as on STYLEROCKETS, the berlin imprint of the Kiddaz.FM-Musicgroup
4 Tracks and the first one is named SIMPLE but it isn´t that simple.

Quite forward going bassline, well placed vocal about house music.
Second one is the track interpretation made by M.in, a really named producer and DJ. He rocks the clubs all other the world. Oh pretty Babe' the third one keeps us smiling. Explosive well mooded house sounds and really well arranged. The EP is ending with COSMIC, a wired visionary track with shaking percussions. Produced for long unforgettable club sessions.

* Pioneers of the electronic music scene, Music Producer and Finiflex Studio Owner, John Vick and DJ, Davie Miller are working together on a new project . . . . FINIFLEX

* TA TA OO HA was the first single to be released from the much anticipated forthcoming album SUILVEN, slated for release in May 2018.

* FINIFLEX have been playing the new material live since the end of 2016 with gigs in Edinburgh (Neu Reekie), Glasgow (Let's Go Way Back) Skye (Non Stop Easter Weekender) Barcelona (Kosmopolis), Dundee (Carnival 56) and the TA TA OO HA Single Launch Party (TRANSMISSION) in Glasgow.
The show itself is an immersive experience featuring lights, live projections and video graphics, basically a super slick production rammed with back to back bangers.

* These new releases may by the first in 20 years but in reality it's not been such a long period of silence. The almost a secret FINIFLEX Studio Complex (FINIFLEX HQ) based in Leith, Edinburgh has continued to work away with some of the best in the genre including the likes of Justin Robertson, Lord Of The Isles, DJ Rolando, Andrew Weatherall, Sparks, Billy McKenzie, Jon Pleased Wimmin, Paul Oakenfold, Dave Ball (Soft Cell) to name a few.
It's a given that their past assures their pedigree within the electronic music arena but with the release of TA TA TA OO HA . . . . . FINIFLEX brought it all rushing into the future. . . . . .

Minor Planet Music's third release by Formas. Where thought and concept are intertwined with light and sound. Where cosmic shudders become Music. Where categories are obsolete and there is only impression.

Gab Rhome is back on All Day I Dream with, believe it or not, his very first solo release. We first encountered our bowtie wearing friend via his collaboration with Maher Daniel way back in the label's catalogue. He dropped by again last summer as one of the tracks on our annual Summer Sampler release with 'Venus'. It rocked the Beatport Deep House chart for months. Continuing in that vein we find two wonky fun summery house tunes with rolling grooves, tinkling pianos, glassy sounds and memorable melodies...which is fun to say by the way...go on, say it. Say it out loud right now on your plane journey, in the coffee shop, hotel room or in bed with your cat... Words and music to make you smile.
Good work Gab. Good work...

Over the course of four unforgettable EPs released on Throne of Blood since 2013, Hardway Brother Sean Johnston has cultivated a broad international following for his singular brand of dancefloor fodder.

Best known as one half of legendary DJ team A Love From Outer Space alongside the one-and-only Andrew Weatherall, Johnston's roots in the dance music scene include a clutch of leftfield 90's era bangers on labels like Sabres of Paradise and Flashcomm. Beyond his original output, Johnston has also remixed the likes of Man Power, The Asphodells, Museum Of Love, Split Secs, Clandestino and many more.

The Laser EP is peaktime Hardway Bros business. 'Friedman Feedback Loop Revision' (a nod to TOB boss James Friedman's highly-valued opinions) is a masterclass in efficient simplicity, elevating a few basic loops into an exhilarating 8 minute monster. 'The Laser' rounds out the a- side with a classic electro rhythm/bass/vocal sample combo could easily have landed in retro territory. Instead, Hardway Bros easily flips a clutch of oldschool tricks into an utterly modern execution. The b-side finds TOB's label manager Max Pask injecting 'Friedman Feedback Loop Revision' with his love for all things analog and Italo. With his impressive collection of synths brought to life by Chinatown Records' Brennan Green, the song is transformed into an epic set- closer that's already devasting dancefloors like Berlin's Panorama Bar. The EP closes with 'Afro Sirene,' a midtempo groover with melodic arpeggios built for the discerning DJ's warm-up set.

the main man from the deep tech scene, our friend and the family member, Johnny Davison from the UK, breaks into the Vinyl scene with his Vinyl Only picks, his incredible vision, his underground notes and sounds. This guy is quite known by bringing some very deep and unique, danceable and glamorous music at the same time. We've been waiting for this release for quite long and this release is super important to the label Complatt in general. Enjoy Mr. Johnny Davison with us and stay tuned!

R&S welcome Dutch dance icon Maarten van der Vleuten back into the fold. - 'Outrage' is a compilation of Maarten van der Vleuten's Integrity project tracks, originally released on R&S sub-label Outrage Recordings in 1992, now remastered by Matt Colton Maarten van der Vleuten is one of the most influential figures in the Dutch scene, and also a man of many aliases - between 1987 to 2007 he racked up releases with over two dozen projects producing Detroit techno, electro, house, experimental and ambient tracks and remixes. Still highly active and inspired in 2018, R&S see the Outrage release as a perfect opportunity to re-introduce Van der Vleuten's masterful productions to a new generation, adding to his existing influential fans such as Optimo, Global Communication, Ellen Allien and Dave Clarke. During the 90s he recorded mainly dance/techno for R&S Records, as Orpheus, 48V Phantom Power and Mantrax. He also memorably released on Apollo Records (check his excellent In-Existence 'Moonwater' album), Djax-Up-Beats, See Saw and Klang Elektronik amongst others.
Van Der Vleuten's ongoing collaboration with R&S founder Renaat Vanderpapeliere saw the later set up Outrage Recordings in early 1992 to release Van der Vleuten's tracks that didn't fit on R&S Records, recording as Integrity, Zimt, Flux and Pultec.
'Every couple of weeks i would drive up to Ghent with my new tracks and meet Renaat,' explains Martin. "We then went straight to Foon Mastering where we played the DATs and decided which tracks would be cut - i had carte blanche when it came to the 'sound' of the label. Van der Vleuten's music on Outrage Recordings moved in the opposite direction of the contemporary rave and gabber scenes; while Techno became faster and shifted to a more aggressive sound, Van der Vleuten focused more on composing and arranging over danceability. This resulted in these EP's being difficult to sell back in 92 but listening now it feels vital and fresh well over two decades since they were recorded which is an obvious sign of
Van Der Vleuten's deft talent. The release also includes Van der Vleuten's collaborations with another dutch icon, Mike Kivits (aka DJ Aardvarck). The pair first met In 1989 when Kivits would sometimes play his demos on cassette-tapes at local clubs. The pair became fast friends and Van Der Vieuten invited Kivits into the studio where they found a natural chemistry that ultimately resulted in the tracks 'Nightshift' and 'Intens' which feature on 'Outrage', both written and recorded on the same day.

What attracts us to Chilean-born artist Ricardo Tobar is the notion of intersection, and although fusion is nothing new, as a concept it will always pull our heartstrings. Applying influence is amateur, we see this over and over again as we endure trend-driven appropriation of cultures the world over, but the epiphany when an artist finds true synergy between heritage and influence is a pivotal moment that the inspired will seek, even though it may take the length of one's career to behold. As pretentious as that may sound, it is precisely the hybrid born from that place of intersection that
excites us at the ESP Institute, the 'A plus B that equals 3'. We hear this in Ricardo's music — the Latin American instinct in his drums and percussion, sometimes tightly aligned with body movements and other times hauntingly mis-aligned and chaotic, intersects with his rock influence of ethereal (micro) melodies that slowly layer and layer until we're climbing a glorious (macro) wall of sound — but most importantly we hear where these different parts of his life come together to further create one unique voice. On both sides of his ESP Institute debut Liturgia, Tobar couples one pulsing dance-driven track with another atmospheric and immersive track, requiring we educate ourselves in the polarity of this language he's building, one that will expand to tell a broader story later this year with his debut album. We welcome Ricardo Tobar, another forward-thinking artist, to the ESP Institute, and are proud to support any direction his compass points from here, as we believe he'll never follow but will always lead.

Richy Ahmed has been steadily building his Four Thirty Two label over the last 12 months, introducing talented artists such as Jansons and Senzala to the fold. The imprint is fast becoming a 'go to' label for those who like their house music uncomplicated and hype free, ensuring the Chicago and Detroit house sound burns bright with new music indebted to the roots of the music.

After recent releases on Seth Troxler's Play It Say It label, and remixes for London Grammar, Richy brings the goods back to home on this latest Four Thirty Two release.

On 'Can't Stop Us', chunky stabs incessantly jab at meaty drums, as a female vocal loop rides on an opening filter. The good vibes build to a classic house piano crescendo that Marshall Jefferson would certainly approve of, as the soaring strings and evolving drums raise the rapturous mood to dizzying heights.

On the flip, the percussive disco drums of 'Dials Mavis' are bolstered by a booming sub bassline whilst deft keys and deep Rhodes chords deliver the infectious melody on this bumping jazz ride.

a vinyl debut of a great Serbian label CMOK (Centar Muzicko Omladinske Kulture), which is quite known by a narrow circle of professionals and great sound lovers.

this release has got a total urbanism in the sound that undoubtedly will be a big joy to drop on some good party with friends.

Vienna's finest on 12".

On Loop marks it's third year with the Volume 3 compilation curated by Moxie, due for release this Autumn. Sampler 1 of 2 provides 4 tracks from the main compilation, featuring exclusive productions from Shanti Celeste, Traxxploitation, Benedikt and Admin. Compiled of music from artists she continues to support on her bi-weekly NTS show, Moxie's selection know-how is apparent throughout. Opening up sampler 3.1 is Bristol DJ Shanti Celeste, kicking off the compilation with deep bongo cut 'Moved', followed by Traxxploitation's exploration of jazzy chicago house in 'Honey Pot'. On the flip, Benedikt switches things up with high-octane track 'Mnemonic', before Admin winds things down with dreamy percussive number 'Space Cadet'. With 2016's Volume 2 gathering support from names like Gilles Peterson, Benji B and Annie Mac - this year's release is set to meet a similar reception. In addition to Moxie's label, the On Loop party series has just celebrated it's 1st birthday with Kornel Kovacs and LK at On Loop's London home The Pickle Factory. The On Loop family has been growing all year, with Moxie inviting guests like Avalon Emerson, Damiano von Erckert, Alexander Nut and many many more, to over 20 parties at venues like Manchester's Soup Kitchen, Edinburgh's Sneaky Pete's and Lyon's Le Sucre. With more parties to be announced this year, an ADE showcase lined up, and a festival stage curation under her belt - Moxie's On Loop imprint is set to continue on it's upward trajectory.

Irishman Brendan Gregory aka Chymera has become an integral part of the international club scene. This techno and house productions are based on his skilful way to incorporate different styles and genres such as minimal techno and even the trance, which leads to a very own and surpreme handwriting. Like his mentor and friend Funk D'Void or like his fellow Cocoon Recordings colleague Tim Green, Chymera appears to one of the few artists who can be assigned to a very own and recognizable sound. Especially today, in times where some kids manages it to release records produced with just one laptop and rough basic knowledge a very own style is no longer a given. Chymera is one of these hard to find artists that have worked on their own style and developed an acoustic trademark... and we love his style! Episode' is a prime example of the above-described influences based on house, techno and trance. The great arpeggio bass-/synthline and the overall arrangement beams us back to the high days of Detroit techno. This is soulful and epic and it triggers just the right senses, it takes us on a journey. With 7 Hours' appears like a stripped down dub version of Episode". Based on a similar arpeggio bassline but less epic 7 hours' incorporates the two musical corners of Rust' and Episode' in a very cool way. Chymera is a fine master of his craft and this release is another proof of his musical knowledge and taste! The bonus track Rust' Chymera looks into the house corner and presents a nice counterpart to Episode". The great Chicago-FM bassline is the leading element in Rust". The analog space synths and the relaxed but cool oldskool drum programming are perfecting Chymeras deep house excursion.
