Following releases from Midland, Dusky, Bicep, Leon Vynehall, Komon, and Deetron, Aus continues its run of releases with Glaswegian, London-based producer Sei A stepping up to the helm once again, following up his well received 'Wants' EP in September. 'Make It Work' is a blend of muscular drums, pitched down vocals and hypnotic synths which pan across the record in on and off rhythms. What follows, 'I'll Take You New Release Information There', is definitely from the same gene pool, with its pounding pulse and stark vocals, led this time, however, by an equally energetic midrange bass line. Fresh from mixing the latest installment of the hugely respected DJ Kicks series on !k7 Breach adds his own unique twist to the package with an inspired remix of the title track, hollowing out the centre and building it up with patience on his more extended interpretation. 'Hing,' although only available on the digital release, is a hidden treasure; running on a slightly slower tempo, this track winds down the EP perfectly ith its slurred and subaqueous sounds.

The Gruuv imprint has just dropped a new EP by European party lovers Spirit Catcher, featuring a collaboration with Dubai's Raxon alongside remixes from label heads Audiojack, Kindimmer and Ostgut Ton's Borrowed Identity.
Belgian duo Jean Vanesse and Thomas Sohet, aka Spirit Catcher, have been in the game for over a decade. The production duo describe themselves as "a pair of European weirdos looking for life and love between keyboard's keys and automated faders" and have delivered material for imprints such as Silver Network, 2020Vision, Petz Recordings, Systematic and Noir Music.
Their output on 2020Vision back in the mid noughties held a quintessential part in shaping the new wave of electronic sounds that were taking over from the dominant tribal house sound at the time.
It was in fact this sound that inspired label heads Audiojack to start making their own music. Fast forwarding 10 years, Spiritcatcher fired a demo over to Gruuv and Audiojack were very happy.
They tell us: Whilst the title track offers up a smooth opening number fuelled by staccato synth hooks, sweeping atmospherics and funk-infused bass licks, Audiojack strip the vibe back with gritty drums and meandering bass hooks. Borrowed Identity takes things in the other direction with a striking remix full of organic beats, dreamy pad melodies and metallic stab sequences.
The second half features their collaboration with Raxon and delivers acontemporary slice of electronica featuring elongated bass drones, ethereal strings and modulating synth blips. Ending on Kindimmer's 'Memory Remix', which takes B cut Remember To Forget into murky territory with brooding and minimalistic atmospheres built on stuttering bass and sparse, low-slung percussion.

Full color inner sleeve with 3D art by Kanika Tupathi. Vivian is a great acid banger with high frequency Jupiter 8 eruptions and a
simple 'raga style' melody.
Vivian is a great acid banger with high frequency Jupiter 8 eruptions and a simple 'raga style' melody. The track was made after the last tour was cancelled due to health problems, and was finished after Charanjit Singh passed away. Vivian means alive and is dedicated to Charanjit Singh and the special vibe he and Thee J Johanz had together on stage. The B side a 16 and a half minute take from a live show at the magical Alsisar Palace in Rajastan, India. It's an ever progressing improvised journey, the result of over forty shows played in the US, Europe and Asia. Charanjit Singh is improvising on the Jupiter, like he did on his proto-acidhouse album in 1982, and Thee J Johanz is jamming with the 808 and 303 like he used to do, back in the heyday of acidhouse.
nice start for this new Label We CTRL

Naturtalente will take you on a dreamful journey from emotional chord progressions to warmth and powerful beat rhythms.
The beginning of the song is full of emotions and dreamful atmospheric sounds, which develop into a calm but at the same time powerful club track.
"Fly Away" definitely brings you in the right mood for springtime where our feelings and love are beginning to drive crazy!
The EP also comes with nice remixes by Dennis Ihm & Sowade, George Whyman and JU'GO.

For this edition we are very happy to bring a fantastic collaboration between Aldo Cadiz & Toby Holguin, both Bad Barbie Records owners, who delivered their Curve Out EP including three fantastic tracks for our next vinyl release. The first track Curve Out presents a great base with break arrangement full of drums fills and they blend perfectly with the superb atmosphere created by the flute in the background, which generates a great ambience with its soft melody and it also gets complemented by the low stings sounds later ahead. A great hypnotic and organic groove indeed. The second track De Acero, presents a techier base and bass line than the previous one, yet it still has very present the organic elements that creates the melody and pad sounds, which also are the ones who drive the track through. Los Zompe, the third one, we can say is the deeper one mainly for its minimalistic arrangement in the base and soft bass line, yet it also presents a great amount of delicate articulations between organic and tribal elements that all together creates a magnificent and almost hypnotic vibe, also revealing the great amount of work and love dedicated to the track. For sure a slightly different art piece ep that will certainly caught the attention of many.

For our next vinyl and digital release we have the pleasure to introduce you to the Chilean DJ and producer, Paula Wapsas. She delivered a beautiful single, called Sol De Santa Maria, in which she shows us nothing else than the construction of a perfect voyage between a delightful selection of several organic elements, synth pads and subtle percussions arrangements. All these elements are mixed together with a peculiar minimalistic approach that builds a very soft and hypnotic groove at the end. As it wasn't enough, we have two amazing remixes for this ep. The first one by the renowned artist Christian Burkhardt, who re-worked the main rhythmic elements of this track giving them a soft but fantastic twist, adding the right amount of madness and trip to the remix. This little arrangement left a gap in the low-end that is later filled by a strong melodic bass line that also becomes the main leading element of the remix. The bass line gets complemented too by the original synths and melodies, which closes the idea in a great way. The second of the remixes was in charge of another amazing artist, Markus Fix, who went through a more minimalistic and underground road than the previous two tracks, by focusing mainly on the rhythmic elements for his remix. All this work together creates a very hypnotic but strong vibe getting completed by some subtle deep synths stabs and some wicked fxs on the base elements, which rounds up the whole vibe of the remix perfectly. Two greatly executed remixes that haves a subtle groove swift but also keep the soul from the original track intact, as any great remixes should.

My Favorite Robot/Cocoon mainstays Villanova ramp up for their first release on OFFwith two original tracks and an appearance by raw tech aficionado Echonomist on remix duty. The French duo stray from their prevailing blend of sensual house, crafting a darker aesthetic fit for the label's newfound coordinates.
First up is Control, a restrained yet uplifting cut. The steady beat and pulsating bassline are kept at bay, creating a tense yet solid atmosphere. Polyphonic synths interlaced with metallic ricochets are key condiments that make their presence on the second track as well.
Divago sets off with techtronic synths and accelerating beats, gradually ascending and building up tension throughout the entire track. The relieving peak point is thus replaced by an exhilarating hands-in-the-air' moment of maximum impact.
Echonomist's take on Divago is straightforward from the kickoff. Sectioning off original elements, and keeping the focus on bassline and percussion, the cut is reconstructed into an
unrelenting late-night groove. The producer manages to imprint his biting style of thumping dark tech, in a rework that perfectly complements the inital composition.

Following up from Renato P's 2015 "Untitled" debut, Jay Simon's Atlanta based Must Have Records is back with its most substantial release yet. Unsung west coast duo, the Teflon Dons released several 12"s on their independent label Worldship from 1995-2000, and virtually all have become sought after records by deep house afficionados. Here, Must Have lovingly presents a double 12" gatefold anthology featuring four highlights compiled from several rare Worldship releases, as well as another four unreleased songs from the same era. Notably, the release contains the nearly forgotten garage classic "Tomorrow People" the first release featuring a then unknown Gregory Porter, who went on to become a Grammy Award winning jazz vocalist. In addition, the release contains several photos, and detailed liner notes written by Jay regarding the group's history.

Following eight years running the EevoNext imprint with Stefan Robbers, Rosedale Records aims to showcase hand-picked producers sharing sides with remixes by techno's establishment and some of Estroe's new discovered talents via her own producer advice company. But there's no better way of getting down to business with a pound of no-nonsense, signalling of intent from the boss herself, a nice means of getting the ball rolling and to set future contributors on the Rosedale path.
First up, 'I See You', which has all the welcome of a sniper looking at you through a set of crosshairs. A glowering riff wades into alien frequencies and floating signals caught in Estroe's bass-mounted operation. For all it's worth as a piece of razor sharp techno, it still shows plenty of energetic, accessible bounce in its hydraulics, and ability to bring tension to arenas twice over where the pressure of the kick drum undercuts shadowy, ambiguous shades.
Re-serviced by Deadbeat, the Canadian Scott Monteith speckles his nickel-plated pistons with dirt, double-times the original's riff and drives home a metronomic, tech-energised raider of the dancefloor. Making the engine purr, clamping the joint down, and then adding fuel to the fire with an injection of acid, this is the sweet spot for those who measure track desirability by the amount of sweat they're swimming in by the end of it.
Dragged along by an 8-bit-themed wash of addictively Sheffield-born bass, 'I Wish' is set in the long tradition of dance music where airy, twinkling keys are pitched against what is a savage bottom end. Dreamy clubbing in many ways because of its trance veneer, it shies away from an ambient tag by making you think you can sail away, before you realise you're knee deep in beats that develop the bump of a cuddly monster. What's more, it epitomises the new label's ethos of supplying tracks that are 'moody and deep, but always with an energetic edge.'
Nadia Struiwigh is one of Estroe's regular partners on the platters, and her remix reiterates the package's demeanour of being granite-jawed and something to swerve in a dark alley. Despite being dominated by a kick drum leaving bruises on your ears, it fits the profile of the strong silent type in parallel to the gentle giant of the original, patiently lying in wait and unperturbed by a stretch of synth flicks looking to find a break in its defence. Struiwigh is resourceful with her power, offering wide open spaces so as to maximise its stark noise, and chiselling away into the night like a skilfully sharpened sledgehammer.

Release number 10 introduces us to the music of Nachtamt. This is his debut release and he is another one of Estroe's Music Advice Agency talents.
Nachtamt first met Estroe in 2013 as he was looking to get advice on producing music with Ableton Live. It meant that in their first session together Estroe had to 'endure' Nachtamt's extensive library of FastTracker productions, but after a few more sessions she would begin to hear the potential in Nachtamt's Ableton creations.
The sessions with Estroe would drive Nachtamt to create more and more music which eventually lead to Estroe
signing two of his exquisitely evocative tracks to Rosedale Records.
The idea behind Nachtamt's original mix of 'Enhanced Awareness' is to depict levels of awareness and how people perceive the world, and how things may not be what they seem at first glance. The track starts with a springy bassline while gentle aqueous percussion materializes gradually as if delicate raindrops are beginningto fall on the surface of a small stream. Like a floating leaf, one is carried along in the flow. High metallic synth sounds shimmer like moonlight through trees and dance delicately with the emerging carillon of chiming melodies as the whole semblance of the track transforms into something a little less gentle, but more gloriously lush.
MUUI's remix of 'Enhanced Awareness' explores Nachtamt's idea further and deeper. It opens with a mood of apprehensiveness. A continuous single note hangs uneasy in the mix as distant and reverb soaked bass synths lurk, brooding in the shadows like a menacing figure. Short, sharp melodies hide almost from view while the chattering percussion which occasionally surfaces is like a paranoid thought - or like nervous eyes watching...
The question is, who is hiding from who
The original mix of 'A Minority of One' contemplates a quote from George Orwell's '1984' in which the main character, Winston, considers whether or not he is mad for believing the truth even when no one else does.
'Perhaps a lunatic was simply a minority of one.' The staccato orchestral stabs and almost militaristic rhythm of the percussion is obedient, like the citizens of 'Oceania', they work away throughout the track while the introspective but defiant sounding lead captures the idea of a solitary mind beautifully. Estroe's remix of 'A Minority of One' starts off with sombre pads and atmospherics. The loneliness of the overlying melody and it's introspective nature portray the 'Minority of One' theme perfectly. Once again, as in the original, orchestral stabs announce themselves. Unsubmissive they stand out, on their own, reinforcing the original idea further. However there is a different feel to the remix in that the mood is more reflective and while quite melancholic, there are periodic moments of optimism, like Winston has slowly accepted the nature of his thoughts.

The second serving from Schmorgasbord brings together two relatively disparate and unrelated artists, but who both share a uniquely twisted approach to making music. S-Max has been doing his thing for some time, running legendary home all things bizarre in house and techno, Boogizm, and releasing a special kind of groove on labels such as Telegraph, 7th City and Karloff. His original track, 'Ms. Rosen Dub', swaggers and sways with the spirit of classic Yorkshire bleeps and bass. The groove is house, but the spirit of adventure is most definitely techno. His remix of Spatial's 'Corti' takes a very different approach, taking a rolling, jungle-like approach to dubstep and nailing it to the groove with stabbing bass notes. Spatial leapt onto the bass music radar late 2008 with his shadowy Infrasonics imprint, and quickly snapped heads with his crisp, refined approach to 2-step rhythms. Since then he's done things on his own terms, only releasing for himself and mutating his sound over a series of 10's. 'Corti' perfectly demonstrates Spatials unconventional tendencies, lurching and buckling around a perfectly honed splatter of beats, off-centre synths and delirious vocal snippets. Meanwhile on his remix of S-Max, Spatial flips the script once again with a stomping, swung techno angle that hammers the original into an uptempo, fist-pumping banger.

After showcasing the debut releases from The High On Wye Quintet (Magic Mountain High, Soulphiction and Steevio) and Monoak, the Freerotation label returns with a various artists 12' featuring four more artists intrinsically linked by the annual festival. Anthony Child, aka Surgeon, has been a regular fixture since first appearing at Freerotation in 2011. His recent exploration of modular synthesis and use of the Buchla Music Easel has found a home in the ambient yurt at the festival, and equally has manifested in album projects such as 2015's Electronic Recordings From Maui Jungle Vol 1. Unconscious Fearless Determination' follows on from this more experimental, less dancefloor-focused side to Child's work, while still pulsing with the techno fundamentals that quickly defined him back in the mid '90s. Duckett hails from North Wales, and has been a key part of the Freerotation fabric since the beginning of the event. After some releases on Mindtours, MindYourHead and Sthlmaudio back in the mid-'00s, his music has started to reach a new audience through releases on UntilMyHeartStops and a clutch of lauded live performances. Breaks My Heart When I Remember That Day' captures the alien synthesis and emotional heft that singles Duckett out as such a remarkable artist. Steevio is the co-founder of Freerotation and Mindtours Records, responsible for a huge swathe of techno releases reaching back to the '90s. As well as his releases on Mindtours, he has recently appeared on UntilMyHeartStops and in collaboration with Pev on Schmorgabsord, and is set to appear on Russ Gabriel's new label Rivers Of Groove. With its expressive swells of off-kilter melody and snaking drum lines, Pendulum' continues the thread of exploration Steevio has been following on his journey into experimental modular techno. Tom Ellis has been prolifically issuing forth material in a soul-enriched space in between house, techno and funk for more than ten years. From running the acclaimed Trimsound label to releasing albums and singles on Telegraph, Archipel, Hartchef Discos and more recently Ethereal Sound to name but a few, Tom's recorded work and immersive live performances continue to reach out to new moods and timbres. As A Take' finds Tom at his most reflective, layering on dubby effects and organic instrumentation in a truly meditative end to the EP.

REPRESSED !!
Dutch collaborative label ESHU Records is back with more inventive techno, this time from Tom Liem and Ben Buitendijk on their 'Split 01 EP'. Liem has already released here as J&L (together with label co-founder Jocelyn Abell), and has also done so on one of the excellent Field Records compilations. Now he makes his solo proaction debut, and it is a fine one across two tracks, while Mosaic associate and Rotterdam producer Ben Buitendijk also serves up a fine solo contribution to complete another promosing release. Opener 'Equilibrium Two' from Buitendijk is a perfectly streamlined and serene bit of spaced out, hypnotic techno. Gentle synth pulses roam about the airwaves, left and right, up and down, as ethereal pads glow behind. It's heady dancing music, whilst Liem's 'Contact' is also perfectly aimed at both head and heel. It is full of lick synth pulses that bubble and boil as watery droplets and ticking hits also colour the most subliminal groove. Closer 'This Is All You Need' is a more textured, frazzled cut with frosty lines and rickety pads working you into a trance. Rich drums and clever bass filtration add dynamics and tension and so like everything else here the end result is hugely captivating.

Professor Inc returns to boe with a four track EP of low slung heady house vibes, thumping drums and searing soundscapes. Punchy 4/4 rhythms and throaty chords of Crazy grace the Aside where neat percussion sections break up dubby sweeps and deft ambient samples. The rolling loose beats and haunting synths movements of Undergound sit nicely inside and offer a pumping club cut. The glorious strings of Life After Asylum play nicely with vox synths, weird samples and some weighty low end. Rounding out the EP, Put Up the Vibe skips and swings with fizzy stabs, modulated percussions and warm grooving bass.

It is no exaggeration to say that Ultrastretch has accumulated an array of outstanding releases and artists since its creation in 2011. One knows that being as renown a representative of the underground music scene as Sammy Dee is, he can easily sign music from any established artist he would like, the so called 'big names', however, when we look at the past seven releases on Ultrastretch, the agenda here seems to be another. What has become an apparent and admirable feature of this label/platform and of Sammy Dee himself is his clear support for new music from young and yet to be discovered talents. It is on that note that Ultrastretch 08 brings you Romanian artist Crihan.
Hailing from a small town close to Cluj, Alin Crihan moved to Bucharest in 2009 to be more in touch with the underground scene and music in the capital as it poses more opportunities for him to grow and develop. From dj'ing in the most various clubs in his home country, his first steps into Western Europe as a DJ came earlier last year at no less than the legendary Robert Johnson club alongside Petre Inspirescu in Frankfurt.
Producing under his real name for the past four years, Crihan's release for Ultrastretch brings two tracks, setting the listener into two very distinctive paths.
The A Side, 'Uelden' is a dance floor oriented track. The first words to come to mind are groove and rhythm, giving the track a somewhat funky feeling overall. The elements have been crafted carefully and therefore appropriately placed just where and when you need them. By simply starting the track with a bass line and shuffling hihats he slowly develops to a journey that not onlyventures further into groove and rhythm but also in mind grabbing harmonies with deep/airy sounding pads giving it a comforting sense of beauty and obscurity.
The B Side is called 'A Doua Dimensiune', literally translated from Romanian it means 'The Second Dimension'. Doing justice to the title the track does generate the feeling of being in another dimension. It is a very deep affair into mind-altering soundscapes, very atmospheric and at times dark and obscure. Attention to detail is apparent judging by the overlayering of elements featured in this track. A constant rolling base formed of 'water tapping' ambient sounds give way to harmonies made up of strings and random noises on top.

Area Remote proudly welcomes the return of Maximiljan & Tapesh backed up with a remix by label head 2000 and One.
Maximiljan, born and raised near Düsseldorf (Germany), but currently a resident of Area Remote's hometown Amsterdam, is a true allrounder with his DJ-sets and productions. Whether it's Old School, New School, Deep House or Tech House, Maximiljan never ceases to enthuse the listener with his work. His feel for the right sound and the seal of innovation not only mirror in his productions, but also in his sets.
May it be Ibiza, London or Dubai: there are few DJs with a more international touch than 'finally famous' TAPESH, and even fewer whose style you could identify as really unique. At a time when most people couldn't spell the word DJing, young teenage TAPESH dived into the growing UK Breakdance, Funk and Acid House scene and uncovered an enormous musical talent. His multi-cultural roots, as well as his experience and feeling for mixing the popular with the uncommon give TAPESH' sets that flamboyant magic-potion touch you will only find one in a million.

Nandu lands on OFF Recordings with a spellbinding three-track debut.
'Walk' opens proceedings, merging a chugging low end with forlorn vocals, claves and clangs, setting a dark and trippy atmosphere.
Label head Andre Crom reworks the addictive original, twisting it into a swirling trip of layered synths and subtle, shuffling hi-hats.
The exotic entitled 'Limon' sits somewhere in between. Its off-the-wall drum programming and moody, arpeggiated synth line gives this one a late night feel that is sure to blow the roof off of any dance floor.

What more can be said about 2016 for Red Rack'em apart from MASSIVE In March, he released the instant classic Wonky Bassline Disco Banger which has been one of the biggest selling house tracks of the year, picking up praise and plays across the board from Moodymann, The Black Madonna and MCDE right through to Disclosure and Mark Ronson. Repeated Radio 1 plays, festival bookings and licensing from Classic soon followed.
WBDB was the first single taken from the Self Portrait LP which is due out in Feb 2017 but before that we have another preview of the first full Red Rack'em long player in the form of Tomato Pope.
Tomato Pope is a slamming party banger. Somewhere between house, techno, African music and broken beat, the drums are driving, the bassline is huge and the vocal samples get mangled throughout the track. It's another guaranteed floor wrecker from Red Rack'em and gives a tantalising taste of the LP weight to follow. Ocaj is a demented funky leftfield house jam which twist and turns relentlessly like a Scottish broad without power steering. Imagine a hip hip cats jazzy jam session recorded on a ghetto blaster being diced by a hip hop great. The samples get chopped like garlic cloves in a top chefs kitchen. Bon appetite!
Rhodes House closes the single with a dreamy, drifty promise of greater things to come.Named in that super descriptive Red Rack'em style, jazz club samples are meshed with super uplifting Rhodes chops to give you that 'aaah' feeling. You can pull a jazz face to this. It's allowed. The artwork comes from an old school friend Abby Smith who painted a portrait of Daniel from a facebook screen grab. x

It is less than 2 years ago that Dole & Kom brought dance floors all over the globe to the boiling point with their last SPIELGOLD release Just Together'. Since then, very much has happened. Besides numerous deejay and live gigs, there were, above all things, the long studio sessions that posed a real challenge for them. The latest fruits of their work are two productions, which go one step further and have absolutely the potential to exceed all that we have released so far. Soulful vocals meet touching chords and deep basses, conducted by groovy tech house beats - In short: Melancholy at its best. SPIELGOLD is very proud to present Dole & Kom's new release Better Man EP'! The mighty duo is flanked with big remixes by the talented hands of Kotelett & Zadak (KATERMUKKE, Hive Audio, Voltage Musique) and Dilby (Mother Recordings, Bondage Music)

Adis Hotic, better known to the Underground Electronic Music world as Duky, has been in the forefront of cutting edge, timeless, innovative, daring productions, and this release appropriately entitled It's Getting Real' is no different.
It's no secret that Duky draws inspiration from other popular genres and effectively fuses them seamlessly into his music, resulting in something that can can best be described as deep, groovy, Minimal/House with a chunky Hip-Hop twist.
Starting on the A-side, this release begins a journey into human emotion and psyche, a journey that starts exploring a feeling of Reflection and Nostalgia with the originals It's Getting Real' & Endless Thoughts', Both showcasing a mesmeric melodic arrangement, which layers eclectic pads in perfect harmony with the groove structure of each of the original printed on this side. Add the use of a sultry vocal sample as showcased in It's Getting Real', the use of some exquisite organic Jazz instrumentation in Endless Thoughts' and that ever effective deep thick syncopated bass line, further contributing to the Nostalgic vibe....
On the flip side, Duky continues this journey into the exploration of the feelings of realization, acceptance & joy with the originals 4 Da Soul' & From The Beginning'. Both continue to showcase a flawlessly executed fusion of organic elements of Motown, Soul, Jazz and Hip-Hop in such ways resulting in two deep, chunky and groovy productions. A sense of joy and acceptance is explored in 4 Da Soul', when the sultry Motown vocals and a chunky 'four to the floor' beat hits syncopated ever so delicately with a warm round pluck bass line driving the composition through from start to finish, while sense of realization and acceptance, gets conveyed and further explored with From The Beginning', a smooth Hip-Hop instrumental, bringing this journey a befitting culmination.
A very Special release that promises to have you discovering something new each time you play or hear it.
