After a 2-year hiatus Nothing But Nice are back with a 5 track EP from our very own James Andrew. Suitably titled The D Floor Express, the record is set to transport the listener straight to the discotek.

The EP continues Nothing But Nice’s playful take on house, whilst throwing some new sounds and tempo’s into the mix. 2 years worth of inspiration packaged up into one piping hot 12-inch.

Nicely!

Next up on OGE's hand stamped white series are these four gems from Macedonia

Adam Beyer supplies a new Truesoul release that connects with his more funky, tech-house side of his person.

The use of Beyer's melodies and chunky drums makes each track stand out. The crowd moving rhythms that Beyer commands will move any crowd and turn the crowd inside out.

The electrifying hooks show Beyer's production talents at their best and with the addition of a tremendous Tiger Stripes remix of Time flies, the package is complete.

A song for every mood and every context. Well, 4 songs to be exact, but that should be enough.

The first release, Subsequent EP by Lurre and Pierre C has 2 original tracks and 2 remixes: Subsequent, Whispers. Each one is a solid groove, but they have different soundscapes. Whether that’s dark or full of energy.


We’re starting small. We want the first release to be something special so it’s going to be limited to 250 records.

Z Lovecraft AKA Rhythm Section International's Mali Baden-Powell, offers up four originals on the Utopia Club Tracks label that showcase the disco/house end of his varied output. 'Exotic Passage' coasts along serenely with gently slapped bongos and warm electric piano, definitely a weapon to have in one's warm up arsenal. 'Release (The Tension)' ups the heat a little with a busier bassline, filters and disco licks, before B-side opener 'Lust In Denial' comes with more jazz-slanted piano riffs and 'People Get Too Deep' closes proceedings with the most spacious and dubby arrangement of the quartet. Musically refreshing and understated but lively enough to move feet onto dancefloors, this is the business.

Repressed !

Luca Cazal & Josh Baker kickstart Richy Ahmed’s new vinyl focused imprint, Back 2 Black, with a brace of intergalactic tracks. The new label’s first release also features a remix from British electronic stalwart, Radioactive Man.

Cazal remains a central figure within the house & techno community; his DJ residency at Circoloco is longstanding and releases for labels like Crosstown Rebels, Classic Music Company, his own See Double label, and Richy Ahmed’s Four Thirty Two imprint have marked out his production prowess and ear for a good groove. Josh Baker has been rising up the ranks over the last few years, with releases for Ben Rau’s META label, Locus and his own You&Me label.

On ‘Organ Nuke’, Cazal & Baker dip into the kind of spacey techno house that was forged by Detroit pioneers Underground Resistance, as funky percussion and organ stabs are coupled with dreamy pads and cosmic tones. ‘Rocket Ship’ continues these themes, with heavy 909 drums anchoring a cheeky acid bassline and flashes of cosmogonic sound.

British DJ & producer, Radioactive Man, has long since been at the coalface of electronic music’s leftfield. As one half of Two Lone Swordsman (with the late, great Andrew Weatherall), and multiple aliases for his industrious flow of releases, the revered producer injects a heavy dose of classy electro and Drexciyan vibes into ‘Rocket Ship’. Rolling breaks unfurl in the electro beats as head scrambling keys and rasping bass stimulate the senses for a funkin’ body poppin’ workout.

We are pleased to reveal the first release from a new vinyl label and blog. Bare Bones Recordings are a purveyor of all things Deep House, and BBW001 is a Various Artists EP with individual tracks from four excellent artists. The idea is to showcase the various styles the label will put out with future releases.

Up first is Entrepot head honcho UC Beatz with “Dullness” which portrays a classic deep house sound, with a modern twist. Former Ruff Stuff member Flaze offers “Forty” that simply destroys dancefloors with an almost Techno feel. Fresh from recent releases on Burnski’s Aesthetic and North Wales label Floorpiece, Adam Nahalewicz’s track “Out There” is a deep minimalist workout. The final track from Slur “Uncaged” keeps the emphasis firmly on an underground tip with a real DJ weapon.

Fresh new collaboration between friends Handy x Shall Not Fade, bringing together artists from each label to produce a side each for the VA.

Lining up for Shall Not Fade we have London's 9th House & Berlins Ruff Stuff and batting for Handy we have Trouble Makers Adam Curtain, Bobby Cazanova & a collab from Arthur Dudley and the ever on-form Retromigration.

As it says on the tin – “Keep it in the Family”

One of Brazil's much loved exports Wehbba brings us his first full EP this March. A no nonsense 4 track offering, and all thoroughly road tested by Adam, they have gained much support from long time Drumcode fans. Eclipse, delivers a low end rumble along with a modulating synth line. Reigning high throughout the track, is the undeniably catchy and unique synth. Leaving this track one to be recognised on dancefloors all over the world.

Following on from the success of Capriati's album Self Portrait, 4 tracks have been hand selected by some of techno's hottest producers. Dubfire, Coyu, Julian Jeweil, Luigi Madonna have each incorporated the same feeling that Joseph laid out in his original productions, but have added a unique twist that breathes a new lease of life into the tracks.

Great Stuff, Kling Klong, Mutekki, BluFin, My Best Friend...Oliver Klein had them all. Now he teams up with Kolombo (Turbo, BluFin, Giant Wheel) to bring a real smasher down to the floors. TechHouse at its best completed by 3 nice remixes ranging from House to Progressive.

We’re more than proud to present the first album on our label. A few words from the maestro, Anton Kubikov:

What was the first egg or chicken remains a mystery to me. But what is absolutely clear - the first was the sound. And to this day, the defining in my settings is one or another wave ripple. After many of my dub releases, I decided to follow the big bang path and create an album from one point and bloom like a flower bud, filling it with different shades, micro-changing the waves of each track, adhering to the monochrome of the first point, or rather the chord. Ambient Occlusion is not a sound concept, but one way or another defining the sound of the album, when the missing is filled with the drawing algorithm. And yet, with all the technogenic description, the feelings and sensations of the surrounding space and time in which the creation took place were at the forefront. It remains personal and I hope I was able to convey the invisible that appears at the fingertips when a spark occurs. Separately, I want to note the history of the creation of the album cover by Anja Kubik, since it is already a separate art object in itself, made by hand on canvas using a unique embroidery technique and complementing the sound system of the album.

200 copies vinyl only!

Lied 002 can only come with an amazing duo - Macarie perfectly mixing the drums and guitar of Andrei Petru will make you shiver. With no further intros needed, we hope you enjoy the ride! ️

An inspired collaboration from two veteran producers on top of their game - Kassem Mosse and FIT Siegel. Three well-crafted techno and house tracks created from sessions recorded at Omar-S' FXHE Studios and FIT's studio at Submerge in Detroit in 2016, then mixed down by Siegel in 2018 after a few years of playing rough versions in his DJ sets in clubs around the world. Don't sleep on this diverse EP with sounds ranging from tripping acid workouts to dubbed out electronic excursions!

isolée’s fourth album resort island is a record as that's in turns hazy and thumping, euphoric and melancholy, always delivered in brilliant splashes of color. "coco's visa" sets the tone, its soft chords lapping against the drums like waves against a dock. Gentle moments like this and the exquisitely bittersweet "let's dence" offset dreamlike club tracks of the kind only Müller could make. "rumour", the album's first single, is all ghostly strings and loping synths, a mellow joy-ride in magic hour light.
pardon my french (second single)
isolée need not apologize for this flirtation with the sound of French touch. "pardon my french" has the key elements that give the best disco and disco-flavored house records their magic: impossibly smooth bass tones connect perfectly plump kick drums, a strutting rhythm, glittering synths, all joining forces to give you the feeling of having a supremely, impossibly good time. On Resort Island, it's a vacation within a vacation, an artist so skilled at subtle, ambiguous moods going for straight up bliss, just this one time.
canada balsam (third single)
The third single from Resort Island is "Canada Balsam," a dreamlike club track of the kind only isolée could make. The beat is taut and punchy, a welcome echo of the minimalist flair of his early records. The rest draws from the lush sonic palette he's perfected since then: vaporous chords, swirling hand percussion, a subtly dramatic earworm melody that almost sounds plucked from a harp. It's the kind of tune that brings a wash of technicolour onto the dance floor, a cool breeze riding on a perfectly tight groove.

Spanish producer Paul Rudder returns to Shall Not Fade for a deep cut of high-calibre house tracks; after gaining traction with his shining production skills, Paul Rudder has built an international following and Feels Like Forever EP overflows with optimistic energy.

Fellow rising star Kresy collabs on the A-side, which features cruising techy dreamscape 'City Lounge' and 'Floating Penthouse', a lively summertime dance track spurred on by a deep bassy rhythm. Kresy's Acid Tool version is a high energy retro restyle. Pulsing peak time drama abounds throughout the earworm 'Inside U', while the record closer 'Dreamin' About' is replete
with choppy pitched down vocals and even choppier piano stabs. Another Kresy refix shows off
his production skills, creating a diverse deconstruction of the original sound into an
experimental, punchy bonus track.

"You never get a second chance to make a first impression”

Rovas presents Aleexe (Panea Records) with a solid four-tracker EP that provides a complete experience into this inspiring artist's intellect.

My Shoulder is Your Shoulder”, kicks off this EP with a highly danceable and dense vibe. Deep synths evolve with snappy percusions and a bassline that leaves no doubt: this is going to be serious shit. “Teson” follows on the same side getting the table ready, with some breaky vibes and a resting bassline, mastered by cheeky vocals and playful synths.

The B side seems to spread a brighter atmosphere designed for the daytime, delivering stripped back and sensual contrasting tracks. “Teapetesis” incorporates great melodies and rolling riffs that bring the energy flow up until the end. Lastly, “Comprehension” gives a closing with the perfect dreamy calmness.

British musician Bearface (aka Raj Panasa) kicks off 2019 here courtesy of a release that speaks volumes of the producer's much-renowned ability to veer between genres. A two track EP that incorporates everything from house to garage to tech-house under open umbrella, the wonderful sounds of the Fade EP.

As is the main man's forte, it's quite something too. Kicking off with the title track, the listener is quickly introduced to the moodier side of the producer's musical make-up. Full of suspense, it's fuelled by an all-round sense of ease and wonder, which comes even more pronounced as the track glides along even further. Though the sounds themselves take the breath away, it's LoveChild's urban-inspired, garage-esque vocals that really provide the spark and a real foil in the process. A truly excellent example of how to merge music and vocals with real class, this is an inspiring cut that Bearface has conjured up here.

'Yogi' is another inspired track, albeit one that's similarly impressive in the style stakes. An act-led jam that's the sort of cut that would have Sven Vath & co. salivating at the knees, it's full of peak-time flavours and a catchy vibe that's hard not to love. A thoroughly engaging and captivating listen, the Fade EP showcases two different sides to Bearface's arsenal with some aplomb.

Discomystery man Donald Dust makes his debut on Wilson Records withan Obscure and Hi-NRGdisco stomp

Blazing newcomer Henri Bergmann makes her full EP debut on Watergate Records with the captivating ‘Mind Control’ EP.
Building a buzz via impressive releases on her label Automatik, the Londoner has picked up support from everyone from Dixon, Solomun and Maceo Plex. Indeed, mention the Dodi Palese Remix remix of her track ‘Protection’ to any clued-up melodic house fan and you’re likely to be met with a blissed-out response, so beloved was the cut, which also ended up in Tale of Clubs’ top 10 for 2021.
Her maiden voyage on the Oberbaumbrücke home label is a tour de force of chugging house that encompasses new wave, electro and progressive elements, with a strong cast of collaborators and remixes
along the way.
Pushing herself creatively during the lockdown, this EP is the first time we’ve heard Henri utilise her voice on her own productions, and the resulting work is a treat. The title track is a team-up with Biesmans who brings his distinct retro sound signature to the track, while Henri’s vox elevates it to another level. ‘Our Time Has Come’ is a punchy dancefloor gem propelled by her own vocals and a classy psychedelic synth line. ‘We Just Keep On Going’ brings bags of robotic soul to the table, as Henri’s husband Wennink takes to the
vocoder, alongside a mystical lead melody. Stephan Jolk returns to the label following his excellent ‘Freedom’ EP in April, re-working ‘Mind Control’ into a muscular weapon. Meanwhile Echonomist, who is notable for his appearance on WhoMadeWho’s Watergate 26 compilation, also takes his hand to the title track, re-fashioning it into a tough bass-driven electro cut that’s beautiful and brain-scrambling in equal
doses.

License to Kill is a new label hailing from England representing cutting edge minimal electronic music. Visually inspired by society’s favourite rogue agent while being sonically inspired by contemporary minimalists, License to Kill demonstrates that these two disparate areas of culture need not be experienced separately. Its releases aim to hypnotise listeners using all the sonic weapons at its disposal: namely rhythm, sound design, musical motif and bass. It gives DJs exclusive license to set floors on fire, igniting the best parties at any time of night or day with the distinctive sound of infectious, bond-orientated beats. Forging a relationship between the world’s most loved Spy and underground music is the mission; expect silly visuals, tasty productions and releases inhabiting the bags of Europe’s most underground selectors.

3rd vinyl release on 44km/h records by James Barratt
Vinyl only, limited copies. Spread the love

Als sich das deutsch-griechische Paar Local Suicide und die aus New York City stammenden Curses in Berlin, dem Epizentrum der elektronischen Musik, trafen, war die künstlerische Chemie sofort offensichtlich. Dieses zufällige Zusammentreffen führte zu mehreren fruchtbaren Kollaborationen, wobei die jüngste "Magia" ist, eine dunkle und mysteriöse Vier-Track-EP. Diese Veröffentlichung ist die perfekte Gelegenheit für die beiden Künstler, ihre genreübergreifende Mischung aus 80er New Wave & Dark Disco, die ihren früheren Kollaborationen bereits viel Lob eingebracht hat, auf ein ganz neues Niveau zu heben.
Die EP kommt nach einem beeindruckend produktiven Jahr für das vielbeschäftigte Powerhouse Local Suicide, nach der Veröffentlichung ihres weltweit gefeierten Debütalbums "Eros Anikate" mit Kollaborationen mit The Hidden Cameras, Lena Platonos, Theus Mago und Curses selbst, sowie vier Remix-EPs mit Remixen von befreundeten Produzenten wie Adana Twins, Silicone Soul, Echonomist, Biesmans, Die Selektion und vielen mehr. Der vielseitige Künstler und Chef des Ombra International Labels Curses hat kürzlich sein düster-romantisches zweites Album “Incarnadine” mit Features von Jennifer Touch und Terr veröffentlicht, nachdem sein erstes Album auf Jennifer Cardinis Label Dischi Autunno hochgelobt wurde. Für diese Zusammenarbeit hat er seinen unverwechselbaren Sound weiterentwickelt, der Punk-, Italo-Disco- und EBM-Einflüsse zu einem düsteren und nostalgischen Gesamtkunstwerk vereint.

We always remember the good vibes of the sun from an orange summer sunset.

This time all those energies are combined in our new release by Mat Roz “Orange Sunshine Ep”. Mat is our new Brazilian talent based at São Paulo city, where he was inspired by the surround to give shape and color to his first release.

Some masterpieces come together with trancy techno, breaks, elektro and house that make this release a real banger for djs.

After long wait finally SNG006 is here!!

3 years after his and Dewalta's mesmerizing Ground Effect EP Claus Voigtmann returns to HelloRepeat with 4 hypnotic deep cuts showcasing his rough elegant signature in the skill of groove making.

Under the alias 4E, producer Can Oral created his own unique sound of raw, futuristic acid-electro. The A-Side tracks "Ask Isadora" and "Conga Banana" first appeared on the album, Blue Note, released on Home Entertainment in 1996. On the flip are two unreleased tracks picked from his extensive archive and edited by FIT Siegel. These were also recorded during this era, which Can describes below:

"In the 90s I moved to NYC to start a band with Jimi Tenor. I had a small flat in the East Village with the apartment number 4E and that became my artist name for the downtempo and electro material I was working on. The style I called Futuristic Electro because I didn't want to relate to the old school with this. I had my studio on the kitchen floor and pretty much only used EMU SP-1200, TB-303, TR-808 and SH-101 by good ol’ Roland. In a way NYC was still developing because it was all about house music. In 1995, I opened Temple Records in Manhattan with Dr Walker from Air Liquide and DJ DB from Smile Communications. The record shop was inside the Liquid Sky clothing store. After a fire in the shop, along with a falling out with the owner I decided to talk to a fortune teller to find out what the future held. Her name was Isadora, and she had a TV show called "Ask Isadora." She told me on live television to move out, have my own shop and be independent, so I did. Thanks Isadora!"

Stockholm's Dungeon Acid returns with one of the strangest, nastiest acid records to date. "Carnal Knowledge" is caveman techno, one chord hammered with hypnotic precision, a two-note acid line adding an air of polyrhythmic mystery. The heavily processed sounds of copulation comprise the bulk of the atmosphere, the whole thing feeling like an alien, updated version of Lil' Louis's immortal "French Kiss". The Instrumental version is a slightly swingin' variation on the same theme. Dungeon Acid principal Jean-Louis Huhta is known for editing the sweetest parts from his hardware enduro-jams. The "Bonus Beats" title for B2 is a bit of a misnomer; in fact, these are the sounds of mutant, futuristic lovemaking in all their glory, perfect for sexing up otherwise sterile dance music. Get some!

Super Rhythm Trax welcomes back Glasgow’s Fear-E for his second full EP on the label.

4 fresh tracks each designed to tear the club up !!

Manuel Gonzales aka MGUN, steps up to the plate for FIT SOUND with an EP that is equal parts diverse, epic and RAW! From the basement techno of "Wide Eye", to the scuffling acidic "Debit, and finally onto the melodic/ melancholic sound of "M.S.C.", Essential music from the underground for the underground!

Outboard magician PST ends a string of great releases with a mini album on Pocochin, displaying the full spectrum of his artistry!

Two Mind Melting Acidic Drippers That Ron Hardy Would've Been Proud Of!

Shiftr label called Parliamnt strikes back. Colored vinyl only no digital promotion as usual. Few copies.

Life begins at 21. So today, it’s time to turn the page with HAWS021, and become enraptured by the mysterious musings of Admo as Haŵs enter their next phase. Out of Grenoble but based in Berlin, Adrien has been sporadically sharing his developing talents with top labels in the last few years, steadily gaining traction and strong support from tastemakers and party-goers alike.

The Elysus EP really tech’s the house down, drawing on minimal elements and classic vocal hooks, succinctly threaded and aligned through distinctive Admo characteristics. ‘Distance’ ignites the record, blending haunting chords and mischievous keys, wrapped around IDM-like clicks and wobbles and punching percussion. ‘Club Cabane’ is next, re-confirming the tech-house themes with neat, minimal beats and subtle yet iconic acid lines, permeated by a dastardly bassline of epic proportions. Track 3 is ‘Synchronising’, turning the dial up and heading towards 2023 and the nouveau styles of house music. Shuffling hi-hats and snares relay the transmission via an atmospheric essence, yet the styling harks back to A1 with its eerie, foreboding composition and acid infrastructure. The record ends with ‘One Twenny’, reinstating the iconic ‘Wiggle’ vibes and inducing a head-nodding monster of defined and mature proportions.

Sanso's debut on the prolific Wilson Records is probably the most interesting thing that happened in 2019 for all the fans of the legendary Cajual, Dance Mania, Djax-Up Beats or Peacefrog, Records. At six tracks large - three on each side - this record is a weapon for all the Djs who want to set the dancefloor on fire

Afterhours. is back with Ukrainian underground talent Silat Beksi. As expected, the 3-tracker appropriately named "Transend EP" displays a fine selection of stripped-down music prone to dancefloor introspection. 

The title track 'Transend' shows Silat's talent for creating steady, bare-boned grooves, filling the sonic space with menacing atmospheres, chopped vocals and bizarre modular squelches. Flipside's 'Monoliza' follows the same stable groove principle but applies quirky sound-design techniques reminiscent of the golden ages of microhouse for an added swing. 'Elephant Dream', the EP's closing track, swaps the four-by-four rhythms with breakbeat-infused constructions, adding just the right amount of sway for its deeply floating atmosphere.

Sun & Stars by Gossan and Pad Union, the debut vinyl release from Music Department record label, featuring four sumptuous and eclectic tracks.

Up first in the A1 spot is In 'Stars We Trust' by Gossan, an elegant progressive house number with a gorgeous aquatic build up which releases into a swell of subtly crafted drums, a warm and rumbling bass line and luxurious pads and synth refrains. The perfect opening track for a momentous debut release.

At the A2 spot is 'Solnce Zvuk' by Pad Union. A testament to the diversity of this EP, 'Solnce Zvuk' is a stylistically unique track which gives a sizable nod to 90s trip-hop and broken beat. With a groovy, syncopated break beat, a deep and potent sub bass line, not to mention an army of funky samples, 'Solnce Zvuk' will get any dancefloor moving!

Up first on the B side is 'Podsnezhniq' by Pad Union, a clever and interesting blend of break beat and 4/4 rhythms. Awash with melancholic pads, subtle synth riffs and an assortment of ethereal vocals all set to a driving bass line, 'Podsnezhniq' is a worthy contender on this formidable EP.

Finally, at B2 is 'Last Trip' by Gossan, a graceful progressive house track with a pulsing beat, gentle melodic phrases and a smooth, throbbing bass line. Add in some uplifting gaseous pads and a sprinkling of ingenuously designed vocal samples, and you’ve the perfect conclusion to a very memorable vinyl debut!

The new era of Nu Groove continues to deliver exceptional house that meets the gold standard of the cult label’s original offering, with its latest vinyl package distilling the sound of imprint’s next phase. From a state steeped in house culture, Harry Romero is one of New Jersey’s finest house exports, taking control on the A-Side of this 12” with exquisite two tracker ‘I Love / The City’. Harry plays tribute to classics from the Nu Groove catalogue with his modern ‘Choo Choo’ twist he’s loved and revered for across the two tracks, with enough depth and warmth to get you in the mood. On the flip Trilogy Inc, a new anonymous project from one of the UK’s most esteemed house duos of the 80s and 90s, explore their formative influences with ‘313’ and ‘Calling’. Two tracks destined for the darker recesses of the dancefloor, this is an unmissable package for club heads after serious underground heat.

Growing up in Chicago during the early 80's, Mark - with the help of his older brother - started collecting records and DJing from his pre-teens. During high school he listened to WBMX radio mixes and was producing house tracks inside empty classrooms with his friends during lunch period. By the time Mark was a young adult having music everyone knew and liked was not good enough anymore and so he entered the endless world of searching and seeking music he had yet to discover and his music habits soon reached a level deemed as obsessive. To balance his spending habit, he found himself selling music to older peers, stores and DJs in order to afford more records for himself. This finally lead him into founding Mr. Peabody Records with Mike Cole a fellow fanatic, in 2004, aiming to become a world class resource for all genres of obscure music and indeed Mr Peabody Records became a destination point for many DJ's and Music Lovers. Sadly, the brick and mortar store closed shop in 2012. However we're lucky Mark still collects and continues to play music to dancers and clubbers around the world.

As DJs Frankey & Sandrino are used to scour platforms or infinite emails/ messages through music that fits their sets and fulfills the duo's musical demands. A recurring task the both benefit from when it comes to finding new music and artists for their label Sum Over Histories. For the label's third installment of this year Sandrino and Frankey have digged up newly founded duo Saint Is, who deliver an eclectic four-tracker called “Something In Common“ that draws on and pursues the musical history of the past six releases.

After a busy year of touring and releases in 2019, Denis Horvat is proud to announce the launch of his new label for 2020. Enter: Vokabularium. The name, carried over from Horvat's latest Innervisions release, takes on a new life. The label aims to be an immersive, perpetual story. The first release on Vokabularium will be from Horvat himself, delivering a diverse 4 song EP titled, "Extensions of Base Notes".

Joining us for the third release of Arpanet, Infinity Plus One, veteran producer coming to us from the London underworld.

His unique sound oscillates between a twisted, distorted techno with hypnotic vocals and breaky electro.

Truly timeless sounds that we dare you to recognize. Two of the tracks are repressed 2005, but two others are unreleased from his 1999 catalog and the other was cooked up just a few months ago in 2022

Lis Sarroca makes her return to the Shall Not Fade catalogue with a 5-track exploration of house music's many forms and flavours, backed by a remix from SNF's own Marc Brauner. Our Times EP sees the Mexico-born, Barcelona-based producer use italo as her springboard, layering MPC claps over house and breakbeat rhythms before 'Keep At It' and 'Daywalker' use hypnotic melodies to create an infectious groove.

Our Times EP drops 28th October via Shall Not Fade.

Truly a special EP! the title track is definitely the one on here with the biggest peaktime dancefloor potential, the three other tracks show Franklin's firm talent and diversity in crafting organic deep house tracks that step out of the ordinary.

(Doubting Thomas, Olaf Stuut remix) No longer a stranger on the international scene, Kerala Dust manages to weaken many knees with his low, soothing - almost romantic - voice, covering the four-to-the-floor ever so effortlessly.

No longer a stranger on the international scene, Kerala Dust manages to weaken many knees with his low, soothing - almost romantic - voice, covering the four-to-the-floor ever so effortlessly. This time around however, the project of the London/Berlin-based artist is aiming for the downright no-nonsense attitude of the dance floor with a defining club track. It’s housy, techy, groovy, with no vocals this time - yet he does not lose his sense of self and manages to remain recognizable.


Olaf Stuut’s remix strays from the usual path and gives us a dirty and rough rendition of the original, accompanied by relentless teamwork between drums and bass.?French expert minimal specialist DoubtingThomas explores even further in his inimitable style and delivers a rolling workout.

Support by: Acid Pauli, Monolink, Rolandson, Be Svendsen, Dance Spirit, Supernature, Audiofly, Paco Osuna, D’Jamecy, Joseph Capriati, …

New material by Losoul – There’s a lot of open space today. These tracks take the challenge to travel it.. surrender to it.. slowly. in a deep – raw – contemplative fashion – with that notorious funk edge !

Max Dean and Prunk come together in superb fashion for a new EP on South. It features three new cuts from Max, with a Prunk remix making it another explosive package.

Up first is Loving Saturday, a driving house track with a nagging, soulful vocal that really tugs at the heart strings. The bass is warm and the drums kick hard, but this one really has some standout emotion to it. This Party is a more loose, fluid, ducking and diving groove, with rich percussion making it a perfect late night groove. More deft vocals add some human emotion as this one drives on.

This Party (Prunk Remix) is then a nice spaced out deep house cut that has real bite. The kicks and hi hats fuse together perfectly, while balmy pads encircle the groove to bring the vibes. Last of all, Sunshine Upon the 33 is another big hearted out track with an irresistible groove. The dynamic drums never let up, while the spaced out pads work and great vocal samples all elevate the track.

This is a fantastic four track package from this new one to watch label.

Toy Tonics come up with the LOST TOY TONICS MIXES EP. These tracks came out over the last years on Toy Tonics as digital releases or bonus tracks. As they had such a great feedback now they come together on a 4 track vinyl. Folamour’s remix of french producer Mangabey was one of the biggest stream hits of both (4 mio plays till now on Spotify). Demuja made a whole Toy Tonics EP 3 years ago that pushed his career a lot... "Brissy" was a key track. Felipe Gordon made 2 EPs on Toy Tonics, but the Pontchartrain remix was released only as a bonus digital remix. And Sano, from Colombia usually releases on Public Possession. He made a one off EP with Kapote 2 yars ago. It was just a digital release back then. So here comes the massive Sabrosito Tool on vinyl finally. Sick latin house track!

Three years after Reno Wurzbacher’s entry into the series, Cook Strummer now offers up his own Berlin Gets Physical, a collection of all-new and exclusive tracks.

Berlin-based, Belgium-born Strummer has been a Get Physical associate for several years. He has dropped various singles including the standout 'Rising' which also featured on the Words Don't Come Easy series, and always crafts the perfect mix of rhythm and melody with plenty of hints of his homeland's famous cold wave sound. He often uses his own voice, drum machines, synths and guitars in his music, and since his debut album in 2018 on LOK Recordings, he has had high profile support from the likes of Laurent Garnier, Adam Port and Ame. This summer, he dropped 'Atmosphere' on Obsolet Records which proved another successful outing and now Berlin Gets Physical finds him digging deep into the famous city's freshest and most essential house sounds across 15 well-sequenced tracks.

His own new offering 'For Berlin' kicks off with a dark and edgy vibe, gothic vocals and tense drums. Glitchy hits and blurting synths add to the prickly atmosphere and immediately lock you in while Los Cabra & Manuel Sahagun's 'Italian Groove' then takes off on waves of serrated dark disco synths and Freudenthal feat. Nowhere People continue that macho disco vibe with the rugged chug and cosmic rays of 'Cipher.'

The twinkling 'Bad Karma' by Marvin Jam & Le Mythe then allows you to catch your breath with a slower, more spacious dub disco sound and the twanging bass riffs and exotic effects of Daniel Jaeger & Valenti's 'Quarantine Cowboys' rebuilds the atmosphere with some innovative house blues. The mid-section brings brain-frying synth work on 'Out Of The Blue', bubbling dub house and disco courtesy of dramasquad's sprawling 'ziggy' and percussive deep house looseness from 'Abayomi.'

After KEENE's rubbery and rolling Afro sounds comes more cosmic house richness from Dan Buri and Max Joni & MUKKIMIAU, the driving tech of Red Pig Flower & Lulla and heady sounds of Mike Book. There is a raw house heaviness to FreedomB's 'State of Shock' and things shut down with Electronic Elephant's tightly coiled minimal drum funk on 'Ask Yourself'.

This on point collection is an authentic snapshot of the contemporary underground sound of the Berlin.

Increasingly known for his careful curation during his sets, Eric Cloutier has since turned his focus on overseeing his own label, Palinoia. From the Greek word meaning "the obsessive repetition of an act until it is perfect or mastered," after twenty-years of digging through shelves and collecting only the finest techno, house, and ambient, Cloutier has decided to set his sights on helping nurture the lesser known, unknown, or those just needing a helpful nudge to take their sound to a wider audience. Starting things off is an EP from Eric himself, culled from years of meticulous patience in the studio and finally deemed worthy of consumption. The Heuristic EP is a cathartic expression from Cloutier, a release of stresses and of an idea that sprang up shortly after his move from NYC to Berlin a few years ago. Ranging from the more hypnotic to mental to dubby, all three tracks provide those familiar with Eric's DJ sets with a strong sense of his style translated in to track form

Tel Aviv super group Megaphonim are bringing their off-kilter energy to Feines Tier in form of their new „Namal Ashdod“ EP with four original tracks and hell of a Simple Symmetry remix. Even though they’re all quite unique on their own, what unites the tracks is the combination of raw beats and vocals with an oddly catchy pop approach to the writing of the music. Be it in the aptly titled „After of Disaster“ with its let-loose energy, the slow-rolling „Lo Titfos Oti“, which could have been picked from an Andrew Weatherall (RIP) dj-set, or the title track with its break-beats and its unforeseeable left-turns, there’s always this playful and off-the-wall energy keeping the ball going and bouncing. And let’s not forget about the remix! Endlessly rising duo Simple Symmetry do what they have become known for very well here: Deliver an insanely groovy and relentless weapon of a track, guaranteed to blow the roof of every club, festival floor or after, however disastrous it might be. The EP also comes in form of a limited vinyl edition, so don’t sleep!

French producer, DJ and RDV (Recit de Voyage) label owner returns to the label this April with her ‘Thoughts Of Day’ EP, accompanied by remixes from Giegling’s Koreander and Fred P.

Since launching the RDV Music imprint in 2017, Molly has welcomed an array of up-and-coming talent and long-time respected figures in the contemporary house and techno scene onto the imprint, such as Dana Ruh, Cosmin TRG, Wbeeza, Aybee, Orion and many more. Here though, Molly steps into the spotlight herself with a new full-length EP for the label, the vinyl version features two originals and two remixes, while a further two originals will surface as bonus cuts on the digital release.

First up on the EP is the original mix of ‘ It Feels Like It Only Goes Backwards’, encapsulating Molly’s signature deep aesthetic via hazy atmospherics and swirling dub textures, floating atop a bouncy sub bass groove and swinging, organic drums. Kettenkarussel member Koreander’s ‘Final Relief Remix’ of ‘It Feels Like It Only Goes Backwards’ follows, offering an ambient twist on the original version, taking the hypnotic elements, and reshaping them into a murky, subtly unfurling six and a half minute beatless interpretation.

Next up on the flip side, Fred P reworks ‘Sweet Afternoon’, delivering a typically classy deep house cut driven by a choppy bass line, bright string stabs and crisp, bumpy drums. Molly’s ‘Mercure’ then completes the package, embracing a more groove driven feel as plucked bass notes, swelling subs, mesmerising synth flutters, and swinging drums develop in a subtly nuanced fashion throughout.

This is PALMFooD. Most other tracks look like the departing flight schedule at a busy airport, but Vuta is different. And you can arrange all of the tracks with your set and it will be a perfect match. Always! You can slide drums around, organize your hats, work in basslines, throw things away, or get what you want by just pressing the play button. The bar at the top of the screen contains magic stuff. you'll see how to use it later. The Gullen Remix on this EP will always let you know what's available.

Much may have changed over a two-decade period, but Drumcode's commitment to releasing the scene's most cutting-edge and refined techno remains resolute.
With releases last year from heavy hitters such as Adam Beyer, Alan Fitzpatrick, Luigi Madonna, Jel Ford, dubspeeka and Mark Reeve, the label continues on in 2016 in much the same way; bringing fail-safe, club-ready music to the techno community.
When Pig&Dan decided to join forces, they began a truly prolific production schedule establishing their reputation as producers of pulsating electronic music that straddled dark house and high-energy techno, whilst creating their signature style of twisted and experimental breakdowns. Since those early days, they have created a repertoire that not many can match and have constantly been releasing their music on the most respected labels and playing at the best events worldwide. Pig&Dan follow up to their outstanding first EP on Drumcode with 'Chemistry'.
Compromising of three tracks the mood fluctuates with each record to create a well-balanced, dynamic EP. Chemistry is a dreamy listening platform that mixes cyclic synth lines and stabs to crescendo into a late night imagination. The other two tracks are on the harder tip with their thunderous kick drums and disorientated sounds that provide a different edge to the EP with a harder, peak time sound.

Rubini’s “Le Cahier de Occelli” marks 10 years! Dedicated to the legendary Group-B Rally era, it was our fourth release and one of the first to elicit a certain interest from the deep-house international scene at the time. To celebrate, we asked two of our beloved artists to remix this definitive slice of Degutibus Music electronica, with the results proving why we love them in the first place. Superpitcher delivered a 14-minute oneiric voyage of “Le Cahier de Occelli” whilst the B-side received a nervous blow-up from I:Cube for “Easyleft Henri” (the track originally dedicated to Henri Toivonen, Rubini’s personal hero).

These monster cars are still roaring!
