(Anil Aras, Kepler, Thoma Bulwer & Anna Wall, & Laidlaw mixes)

For a few years a while ago, Robert James was one of the hottest names in house. He ushered in the post-minimal era with colourful, accessible sounds that brought some much needed life and charm back to the scene. After disappearing for a time he returned with his debut album in May and now some of it gets some top remixes. Slapfunk's Anil Aras pumps a nice cosmic house vibe, Kepler does his tight, high tempo work and Thoma Bulwer & Anna Wall combine their skills once more on a clipped, punchy tech house version of 'Planet 90.' Laidlaw lays out some electronic drum funk with a fine version of 'Infinity' to close.

For this California label’s second release, they once again reach across the pond for one of Europe’s cuttiest.


Like.Minded presents Italy’s Zenk, label head of Micro Orbit Records.


Suburbs hits the ground running with a skittering purcussive cut, a versatile tool that could find its place anywhere from peak time groove to afterhours tripouts. Red Forest opens with understated, yet lush 90’s tech house inspired pads, then rolling into a contemplative forward-driven cruiser. Zenk dirties up his grooveboxes a bit on Uriel, nicely contrasting a lighter side of the EP, with whispy vocal samples and airy melodics. Closing things out, COSMJN channels the drums on Uriel and transforms it into a punchy bleeped out roller.

Label founder Alexander Skancke serves up a more tripped-out fusion between house and techno for the fourth release on the Quirk imprint.

TIME FOR LOVE - TIME FOR RAVE

Smoothly grooves and minimal vibes inside. Carebears in love.

Durch den subtilen Akt einer akustischen Trotzhaltung, die spürbar fehlt in der mehr und mehr konservativen und regelkonformen elektronischen Musikszene, gibt der talentierte Hamburger Produzent & DJ David August nicht nur sein Debüt bei Counter Records (Ninja Tune), sondern signalisiert auch ein neues Kapitel in seiner musikalischen Reise, auf der er sich immer geweigert hat sich anzupassen. Geboren in Hamburg, lebt der 25-jährige Künstler nun in Berlin. Er hat bisher bei verschiedenen Labels veröffentlicht, u.a. den Underground-Kreativstätten Innervisions und Diynamic, er hat Künstler wie Max Cooper und The Acid geremixt und wurde auf den vierten Platz als bester Live-Act 2014 und 2015 beim Resident Advisor-Poll gewählt.

After the boundary breaking, experimental excursions of recent album 'In The Wild,' Brooklyn- based FaltyDL was hungry to return to the dancefloor music that made his name. That hunger shines through on his 'Rich Prick Poor Dick' single - a sleek, stripped back duo of dancefloor stalkers.- Recommended for fans of Floating Points, Four Tet, Machinedrum, Martyn.
- Heavyweight 180g 12' vinyl in a 3mm spined sleeve.

Our 8th release comes from 2 Mannheim based artists and good mates Wave Particle Singularity and Jeann who have supplied us with 3 peak time groovers aimed straight for the floor! The A side features 2 straight up thumpers while the B side is a proper traditional B side which takes things slightly down the more trippy/hypnotic/floaty route!

For this twelfth release, Daydream is very happy to welcome two new talents in the family – Lorik and Rupert Ellis – alongside two historical members – MJOG and Stevn.aint.leavn. Four top producers who deliver a punchy and groovy various filled with micro vibe and dreamy sounds.

wAFF takes charge of the second release on his new Nature label with four stylish new cuts.

First up is Mesmerized feat. Shyam P, a slinky seven minute deep rolling tune with subtle synth craft and airy hi hats. A vocal adds an extra hypnotic layer and then SummerZ is another seductive sound with warm chords smeared over a killer groove. It's got a summery vibe but will also pump the party. To The Floor then cuts loose on nice boom bap drums, with vocal and chord stabs adding detail and its easy to see this one making its mark in the club. Slut Drop closes out with an infectious and rubbery bassline and rich chord work. It's heartfelt and full of soul.

This is a fresh sound as ever from wAFF.

After various EP's, remixes and compilation features, the Lower Bavarian Vienna-based musician and producer Sam Irl releases his debut album "Raw Land". Assembling his collection of analogue synthesizers and stacks of vinyl records around his MPC sampler, he chopped up, sequenced, played and mixed together twelve jams ranging from broken beat, dub-influenced grooves, disco-ish material to raw deep house vibes. The combination of vinyl fragments, analogue synthesis, the grit of hardware samplers and mixing on a vintage mixing desk from the seventies create punchy, rough, yet also deep and soulful grooves.

Growing up in a small village in rural Lower Bavaria, Sam Irl learned to play the piano and organ at an early age, later moving on to jazz piano and first attempts at music production as well as DJ-ing. The lack of an existing underground music scene in his home town provided him and his friends with a healthy need and rooted foundation to organize their own regular parties at a local farm and smaller venues in the area, including on the banks of the River Danube, playing eclectic music ranging from roots reggae, hiphop, funk, broken beat, nujazz to house, UK garage and drum'n'bass and to collaborate on musical projects, such as making beats for regional MC's.

He has been living and working in Vienna for over a decade as a producer and sound engineer while completing his degree (2015) at the University for Music and Performing Arts.

Besides releasing his music on Jazz & Milk, he has had releases on labels such as Pomelo Records (Vienna / AT, with Patrick Pulsinger), Frank Music (Berlin / D), Gilles Peterson's Brownswood Recordings (London / UK, "Kutmah presents Worldwide Family Vol. 2", with Richard Eigner / Ritornell), Pulver Records (Stuttgart / D), Bonzzaj Recordings (Bern / CH, with Dorian Concept), Fresh Minute Music (London / UK) und Bagage Musique (Munich / D).

He has also contributed remixes for Trishes (FM4 Tribe Vibes), Inverse Cinematics, JSBL, Aloa Input, Swede:art, G.rizo, Funkyjaws and others. Firmly rooted in hip hop culture, he has been making beats for several Bavarian rap artists. Apart from releasing his solo music, Sam Irl has made records as a member of "SKYMAX", a trio together with Finnish underground producer Stiletti-Ana and Viennese homie, Feater. He is currently working on a record and playing live shows with Patrick Pulsinger for their dub-heavy "Pulsinger & Irl" project.

Epic deep house production originally released in 1990 produced by Bobby Konders and Boyd Jarvis, and also featuring Peter Daou on keyboards.

The future and history of bleeding edge dance music collide on DJ Nigga Fox's new Crânio EP, where the relentless young artist crafts an even deeper level of musicality into his innovative, riotous creations.
Following his appearance on the seminal CARGAA compilation series, this collection feels deeply fitting for a Warp project, as it manages to un-self-consciously straddle the bass and bleep alchemy of the label's early club classics while sitting firmly in the artful post-genre nexus of the current roster of artists.
Ever pushing forward, DJ Nigga Fox (néRogério Brandão) has enlisted a veteran percussionist from his home country of Angola to expand the manic palette of his sound. The outcome is a constantly shapeshifting form of psychedelia made for dancefloors, that still manages to spark synapses as a complete listening experience. Yet another beguiling leap forward for the sound of contemporary Lisbon.
Limited to 1000 copies worldwide

Following up to a pair of choice transmissions on Aussie operated imprint Vulcan Venti, Perth-based rising talent Hame DJ turns up on KOC with a debut four-track platter oozing pure elegiac acid vibes and transient, sci-fi-infused ambient, seamlessly hedge-hopping from UK bass to liquid jungle, through gauzy atmospheric techno and bastardized shades of Rephlex-style electronica.

Fresh as a cucumber, opener ‘On 1’ ushers its listener in a world of keys-loaded, faux-organic layers and rippling ’90s motifs. Threading its way betwixt garage, dub and piano house, the track brushes an equally vivid and dynamic tableau of shape-shifting floor-ready electronics. Starting off as a further mischievous affair, A2 ‘Zoot’ sounds like the outback cousin to Paul Woolford’s seminal steely burner ‘Erotic Discourse’ but soon evolves into a top-shelf breaky chugger that shall jam alien radars as much as it should have everyone on the dancefloor down on their knees in a jiffy.

Breaking the B-side in, slo-mo drifter ‘Nightlife’ turns the tempo down to ‘after-party sunrise’ mode. Implementing a lushly arranged battery of swampy 303 arpeggios, soft-spoken piano stabs and vaporous vocals, this one’s custom-cut for daydreaming with a bunch of friends by the Gold Coast’s idyllic seaside. Topping off that otherworldly journey is ‘Erosion’ – a FX-laden, hip-hop drums-strewn slab making the rounds between sepulchral, Kraut-dunked broken beat a la Tolouse Low Trax and post-Drexciyan synth wizardry. Proper mind-expanding stuff from a producer on the cusp of real big tings.

When Jazz meets minimal music something magical happens. Every track from this EP has its own flavor but comes in a neat package, nonetheless. Clever Sampling is combined with precise bleeps and percussions and underlaid with heavily swung basslines. These guarantee to keep every hip on the dancefloor in sync. The Remix from Philipp Boss has a more acoustic feel with the groovy bass riff. Surely a fitting addition to complete this EP

We_r house strikes back with a 4 track EP by London's new talent Revivis. After contributing tracks to VAs on several labels this is now his first solo EP featuring 4 original tracks by him for any time of the night.

Like a US house producers' version of the fabled grime MC battle competition 'Lord of the Mics', Brawther and Chez Damier came up with the idea of a producer contest to bring together the members of the Interweaved community, with the winners of the first round of submissions sharing their stems with the rest of the community, inviting remixes.
French born Roy Vision received the most votes in the online poll for his track '4 One Another' - a house bomb full of sub-bass pressure, craftily employed vocals and deft drum programming. The original is featured here, alongside mixes from Australian underground hero Marley Sherman, who took the trophy for his uplifting remix. London Based DJ Rouge, meanwhile hails from Ireland but loves original Italian deep house of yesteryear, and his offering was the second most voted work and is included here, slower and more wistful but still chunky in the beats department, with Dunique's spoken word part adding a quietly philosophical dimension to both the original and chirpy, cheery sounding mix from Montreal wonderkid South Shore Garage.

Dropping on Rekids this May, Butch remixes 'Good Luck' - Basement Jaxx's ubiquitous 2004 single featuring Lisa Kekaula.

Appearing on 'Kish Kash', Basement Jaxx's third studio album, the unforgettable single was nominated for a Grammy in the Best Dance Recordings category and also reached number 12 on the UK Singles Chart and number 2 on Hot Dance Club Play in the US. 'Good Luck' also featured as the opening theme of 2004 anime movie Appleseed, Victoria's Secret fashion show in 2003 and 2005, and a version without lyrics was used for the opening sequence of BBC's UEFA Euro 2004.

Real name Bu¨lent Gu¨rler, German producer Butch has been a formidable force within house and techno for over two decades, enchanting crowds from all across the globe with his technical performances. Highly regarded for producing compelling grooves, his releases have appeared on labels like Desolat, Cocoon,
Rekids and Sei Es Drum, not to mention collaborating alongside Virginia, C. Vogt and Ricardo Villalobos (as Butric).

Receiving regular early support from Villalobos, Butch has provided three different renditions of 'Good Luck' and the 'Remix' is a rhythmic roller from the off, featuring numerous elements from the original whilst generating a cacophony of percussion as Kekaula's iconic voice is chopped and looped - the result is highoctane and geared for the dancefloor. The 'Dub' strips things back, purely using segments of the vocal for instrumental purposes as a whirring bassline joins deep synths and mesmerising effects. Tying it all together, the 'Drum Tool' is a high-tempo percussive cut produced for peaktime DJ sets.

Boston's Dana Kelley aka Callisto is a man whose music has long been the subject of much deserved adulation. A student of the deep and soulful, an explorer of the melodic and galactic, and an artist who manages to capture imaginations with his supremely crafted sonics. He is a much missed artist, someone who departed the physical too early, but the body of work he left behind has spoken to generations of listeners, DJ's and fans in equal measure.

This is the third and final instalment of 3 compilations focused on Callisto's golden period of productions for the legendary Chicago label Guidance Recordings. As with the other volumes that preceded it, it's an outright and joyous celebration of his music, his vision and the forward looking nature of his music that is still intact today. It's hard to think of someone with a more unique style and with a truer idea of their own sound-world. Callisto takes us deep inside, into other worlds with his own individualistic take on house, techno, ambient and even jungle and D&B.

These compilations celebrate one of the most idiosyncratic artists from the second wave of US house music producers, a truly essential body of work presented here respectfully, sourced from all audio sources courtesy of Above Board Projects, Guidance Recordings and Dana's family. Mastered by Curved, London and with special artwork by Atelier Superplus featuring a never before seen image of Dana from his family's photo albums.

A brand new majestic addition to our catalogue, this time a mental Split by two experienced producers. On One side Cossmos (The Untold Stories) pair of original beats and breaks, Acid timbres and galactic soundscapes for higher educated dancefloors.

On the Other side we receive TxL (Formas, Future Tones) timeless tracks, two free spirited productions, ready to embrace time passage and emotional understanding of club sound. TIP !

Limited pressing in 12" written & produced by David Ismael, review and mixdown by @kaskakomk.

The Portuguese DJ/producer presents us 5 tracks from his 2nd Album. This release showcases the quality of his productions, bringing in also some participations such as Phonic Lounge, Akur and Kinkaid.

"Line of Faith" is a rave from the underground old school. The acid hits your mind and you can feel the power of thundering outside.

David Ismael and Phonic Lounge deliver us an amazing track, "Earth Calling" it's full of juice and has such a big bass rotation.

"Black Beauty" is a collaboration with Akur. This tune sounds like you have to kick the drama and get off the slow rithms from another era. Looks and smells like acid in the subway!

David Ismael and Kinkaid made this beauty "Fused Souls", the heart is beating with a crush, let's go into my basement and close the door. Nice rhythms that make everyone stay on the dancefloor.

"Temper" the big room tech track, that sounds like it's from a new era. The music makes you feel like that someone was gone a long time. Such an epic edit for the vinyl edition. This track will also be on the artist video clip.

NUKEM is an artist and producer with a focus on creating tracks inspired by a wide variety of styles. From Deep House to
Dub, Tech, and Minimal, anything goes! Recently, NUKEM released
a fantastic new EP titled “She Loved Wild.”

The release also features remixes from XXX Culture and M.A.,
which provided a distinctive approach to this EP, perfectly complementing NUKEM’s unique style. The release actually features four tracks, including the title track and its remixed version as well as the B-side, Narcotic Lockdown, featuring its respective remix.

Although there are only four cuts on this EP, the sonic diversity is truly astonishing, highlighting the musical craft and mastery of all artists involved in this exciting and tonally unique project. This new record is going to be released by Straight Ahead Music, a label based in Zurich, Switzerland.

Archie Hamilton's Moss Co. Records welcomes UK based producers TIJN and Daines with their 'Archway' EP, featuring two intricate cuts and a remix from industry great Silverlining.

Hailing from Durham, Martyn Hodgson is the founder of vinyl labels like In Haus Wax, Deep Edition Recordings and his eponymously titled TIJN imprint, whilst as a DJ he continues to make numerous appearances across Europe and North America. Teaming up with Essex born producer and Yama Music co-founder Daines, the pair have a proven partnership having collaborated before on Fa>lE. Joining them, Moss Co. enlists respected minimal producer Silverlining for a remix; an artist who's been releasing quality music since debuting on Wiggle in the 90s, notably on his lauded Silverlining Dubs imprint.

'Archway' is a bouncy number, with expressive FX, luscious pads, and an infectious groove pumping through the bass and percussion. London's Silverlining encapsulates the playful nature of the original groove in a smooth house cut, incorporating contagious rhythmic patterns from FX chops. Highlighting their familiarity with an analogue setup, 'Flatpack' is a bubbly cut with erratic stabs that envelope fluidly on a driving percussive line.

Last EP out, Gemil released a well-received record that found a landing spot on the legendary Vibraphone Records from his home country of Italy. Gemil has a lot to share that he has been working on. He has recently become the A&R and owner of the classic house label Deep Down & Slam. Not only that but he now has started a sublabel called Deep Down & Space. This 'Reaction EP' begins the story of this new direction which focuses more on the various sounds of 90's inspired electronic music but with modern sounds which Gemil is becoming well known for.

'Don't be Negative' begins the release in fine club fashion with an addictive bassline and well-placed melodics blurring the lines of techno and house music. 'Bad Robot' goes a bit deeper with a great juxtaposition. A low-slung bassline opposes some lovely brushes of pure late-night dreaminess. This is the definition of deep! On the 2nd side you have 'Flying' with its instant classic sound. A track that is sure to get everyone to the dancefloor for this sure-winner. 'Morph' closes it out with a trip into a more ambient house that doesn't lose the potency of being dancefloor-friendly thanks to a killer bassline.

Gemil clearly excels at making great dance music. Day or night. Club, lounge, or at home, the 'Reaction EP' is sure to get a great one from all who listen.

Kincaid returns to Control Freak for a main label release with the Sugar EP - 4 sac- charine, club-ready weapons from a producer at the top of his game.

Drawing on an array of club sounds from trance to UK garage and the best in con- temporary leftfield techno, the EP marks our most rave-ready statement yet, with percussive drum tracks and soaring euphoric pads - carefully crafted for dark rooms and packed dancefloors.

On the A-Side, Air-ism and Sugar bubble with peak time energy - a pair of secret weapons which haven’t left our record bags for months now. B1 E is a pounding, energetic 4x4 pumper, whilst Sycamore closes things out with moody, shuffling drums and powerful low end pressure.

Pressed by Deepgrooves - Europe’s leading ecologically-friendly plant for sustain- able vinyl production, made using 100% green biomass energy.

Rolling in hot off the heels of our last 2 releases, Pathway Traxx is back doing what we do best. For this release we welcome Australian talent Venda who’s deep and intricate productions caught our ear during 2019 and has continued to impress us since. For this release we looked to pair him up with a remix from Vincentiulian and label boss Niko Maxen.

Introducing DAT (Italy) debut release on M-Tone wax. A solid,
bouncy 4 track EP crafted for club use.

We can’t travel too much physically right now, but music will always transport us. Places, planets, parts of the mind no other stimulus can reach. It’s something andhim have made their signature, especially with their recent award winning road movie Miles To Go. The dust still not settled on their air miles, now the duo take us on another tour. South Korea and Japan. Savouring and documenting every moment, ‘Toy Toy’ is their musical translation of the trip.



A six track story of countless chapters, each cut weaving the spirit of the cities and their own influences deep into the mix. The title track takes the lead. A bubbling fantastical piece with strong shades of electro funk and acid house weaved deep in the blend, it sets off – like all tours should – on the happiest note possible.



Deeper into the release we strike downtown neon gold on the sweeping synths and foreboding bassline of ‘In Tokyo’ and the melancholy Blade Runner blues of ‘Japan 82’. Elsewhere ‘Brabazon’ takes a higher flight. Bewilderingly feel-good, sublime waves of thick, woozy synth funk reach euphoric heights in the dreamiest way possible before ‘Acidman’ brings us crashing back to reality with a jolt of cold hard electro sincerity. A crisp trip of a tune, the layers of musicality whip up momentum that ultimately leads us to the poignant, soft-focus finale of ‘Bronte Bye Bye’. The solemn, sober yin to the raging yang the tour once began with, we’re brought home in one piece… Even though we never left the room. Anzen'na ryokō!

2022 Repress

Different Ways inaugurates the limited series with Astral Body, Italian artist which is back after 25 years of hiatus!

DIWALTD01 features two old gems, Psychasthenia and Rama city, released back in 1994 on Disturbance, one of the most influential Italians labels, run by Ivan Iusco. In addition there will be also N'ra and Otentetecot, two unreleased tracks showcasing Astral Body's sound at its best.

A perfect mix of Techno, House and Trance from the 90's, but still contemporary. You can't miss it!

From deep inside the inner workings of L3 Liverpool comes the latest instalment from the city’s very own, Aerofunk. An EP built through atmospheric melodies, break scattered percussion and the heavy sub-driven, relentlessly shifting basslines he is becoming renowned for.

The EP opens itself out into true break-funk fashion with ‘The Definition III’, setting off via back-and-forth percussive movements with hints of hypnotising, atmospheric keys, that pave the way for one of his signature hard hitting, scattered basslines.

Moving in an ever forward style, ‘Funky Breaky West’ cranks up the level for the A-Side. The repetitive bassline layered beneath a kick that skips itself in-and-out of various timings throughout the track, alongside staple, party worthy snare and hat crashes, guide the music on course before delightfully introducing an added touch of flavour with two competing basslines that work together perfectly, hand in hand.

To the flip, there’s no time for pause, as ‘Zezwa’, a track built upon a differed style to its predecessors yet sugar coated in the unmistakeable A-F style, noticeably designates itself in a groove to make its listeners relentlessly move. Throughout and just in ear shot, riding their way throughout that background, is the unmissable sound of scurrying hats and cow bell strikes that seem to make spontaneous decisions for their choice of inclusion.

The B-Side close out supplies an ending filled with a stripped back groove, plied by guided reverberating horn sounds that give off a sense of alarm aimed to draw a mind to the fullest attention. All the while, the music shifts itself on in true, groove driven funk fashion. The keys and atmospheric tones that work themselves in midway through the track are worthy of noting, as if to cultivate the way for that melody one could easily mistake to have been designed by the touch of a musical robotics lab.

With France's long-fallow club scene back in international resurgence as Paris storms back into fighting form, Europe now has found a new source for yet-unheard music. It was a long time brewing, but names like Concrete, Katapult, Zadig, and Society of Silence, have begun to appear in the international clubbing circuit, and the growth is not limited to the capital. Further south in Lyon, a city quickly gaining its own renown for busy club parties booking bigger names, there exists a smaller circle of energetic operators whose name is also spreading rapidly and whose recent accomplishments include Nuites Sonores, Boilerroom and more. Spearheaded by Kosme, a DJ and producer of quickly increasing notice, the provincial powerhouse has already turned heads throughout France as Kosmo's Caramelo Records was snapped up by legendary Parisian distributor Syncrophone; he has a new label set to launch in 2014. It is with this background in mind that THEMA proudly offers Kosme's international debut, the 'April Moon' EP.

Kosme comes to the table with six tracks of low-slung Detroit-referencing house music laced with extra grit. 'Fondamental' rides shuffling hats and a building acid line to dramatic heights. 'Ever Shake My Mind' is slower and dirtier yet, with crushed hats and a bottom-lurking bass between Theo Parrish-esque drum-machine-down-the-stairs breakdowns. After an interlude, 'Mothafunka' resumes the beatdown with a talkover house track that escalates uncontrollably in intensity as drums shuffle before breaking down in congos & pads. 'Deep Function' dials down to sexier sounds with sultry vocal samples and sampled hiss, but it doesn't lose the drum kink. Finally the digital bonus 'A Thought for Yvonne' is the most subdued and skeletal of all with echoed drums and a lonely bassline tumbling over each other in slow motion.

Following the explosion of new sounds from the capital, it is no surprise to find the movement spreading, and THEMA arrives first with the freshest France has to offer.

Mr.G returns with a brand new 3-track effort for his Phoenix G series. 3 very deep jams with mesmerizing vocals and spaced out chords. A true house record straight from the master himself.

Once Upon a time... Four House Headz from UK, US and Europe were separated. But one day, their fate crossed the same road. As they shared the same vision of House Music and Harmony. They worked hard with some magical & musical beans... And one day, a piece of wax appeared which was called Magnetic'. Indeed, this wax has something definitely magnetic. The Melodies, the vocal hooks, the atmosphere Definitely! And yet it remained Underground until the magnetic power of this wax revealed!. Since that day, International DJ's like : Amine Edge & Dance, Sam Divine, Ben Mono, Mike Millrain or Dave Meyer, to name a few, play and support that magnetic sound... Today, this magnetic strength is revealed to you! (... and They had many children.)

Three tracks that nicely bend the rules of deep house and push bass lines into the abyss.



A leading member of Hamburg's Smallville Records and one half of the critically-acclaimed and party-proof Smallpeople, Steinhoff
delivers three tracks that nicely bend the rules of deep house, meander the maze of trance-hypnotism, cold-forge metallic
drums and push bass lines into the abyss. A record that owes as much to Larry Heard's way of thinking, as it does to white
rooms and probably subconsciously to James Holden's art of playing records. Built for eternity.

So glad to welcome Sharam Jey, the biggest Bunny Tiger of the planet on our little label. Together with his Brazilian mate Jean Bacarezza they created 3 proper clubtunes to chase all festival floors this summer 2018.

Solar Suite has something to say about liminal spaces. It’s that eerily familiar transitory state between here and there, where a shift occurs and the thrill of the change perforates through the atmosphere like a dreamy fog. Some find this anticipatory realm uncomfortable, but some find it as the means for creative inspiration. For the 17th release on Welsh imprint Haŵs, Naarm-based DJ/producer Solar Suite explores the playful liminality of dusk and dawn, taking locked grooves and prog sounds as the tools to transform the strange into something exhilarating.

Lst years for Cécille, we finally made it and are really
happy to present you an awesome EP with an epic
acid beatless track...ready for some quality stuff
here you go !!!

2LP Gatefold with colored vinyls

Locked down and furloughed, Vitalic went back to his synths and beatboxes, resulting in his fifth album "DISSIDÆNCE" - the title of which is a whole story in itself - destined to be released in two volumes. He describes it as a return to the roots of his sonic identity, a kind of reinterpretation of the rock energy of his early albums. "More than anything, it was a question of timing. While composing I realised that eight tracks felt like too little for an album, and sixteen was really over the top, so I decided to cut the whole thing in half! The main reason though is that I felt I hadn't been able to express everything I wanted to on the first volume - like something had been left unfinished."

The two episodes of "DISSIDÆNCE" - navigating between pop and hardcore, sweat and tenderness, melancholia and anger - are a sort of boiling down of what the artist knows how to do best, after twenty years of creating, from filthy whirlwinds that make your mind explode on the dancefloor to bubble gum pop songs about love that transport us elsewhere. On these two volumes of "DISSIDÆNCE" that now form one, the powerful beats and galloping sequencers translate the social and political anger of the global pandemic, and Vitalic looks into the past, channelling his love for off-kilter synth sounds, skew-whiff pads, heady refrains, distorted vocals and heavy beats. Above all, this dancefloor marathon expresses his obsessional passion for dance music and the primal need to dance. "DISSIDÆNCE" should be taken as both a celebration of celebration and a journey back in time to an era that maybe does not exist right now, but which will - and this album is the dazzling proof - be reborn from its ashes to burn bright once more, its BPM let loose and rage still blazing, because more than ever, to dance is to live.

Vincent Desmont introduces Chris Newick on VDR. This release combines dub techno with two versions of "Operator" and breakbeat with "Anaglyph".

The last track is a special groove power remix produced by Desmont himself.

Mind Borders is a journey around the various states of consciousness , from the more aligned and lucid one to the most clouded and obscured until it is completely absent and out of focus.

Side A is made of two tracks by the duo Haokah; while in “Clearview” the mood is peaceful and happy, synths are playful and dreamy, accompanied by a solid bass line, in “Misted Mind” we find their typical twist, fast and yet meditative with hypnotic sounds and introspective voices.

Simone Adinolfi closes the EP with an extended track in the B side that incorporates the dark side of the latest times, where heavy and intricate percussions are blended together with mesmerizing and airy harmonies, taking you through different emotions, as an escape from reality to be finding peace.."Out Of Now".

Rydim delivers three definite tracks to the floor, on the new Copenhagen
based label Variation Records. Expect tight 909 beats that are not only
egdy, but goes all the way the edge.

Christian Hornbostel’s third LP Liber Tertius serves as a summation of Hornbostels recent musical tastes. His defining feature is an immense and overwhelming sound design. Texture dominates over structure and rhythm. While definitely not an ambient album, its easy enough to get lost in whats happening in or around the beats. It's something that anyone who loves electronic music, sound and sound manipulation, can fall in love with; no one's going to care about time signatures or genre conventions. It's an instance that astonishes, not from Hornbostel's deft production touch but by his restraint, his willingness to indulge in the most beautiful simplicities. As such, it's not representative, but stands as another surprise from a producer long since known for them. Whereas Hornbostel's previous albums may have had a tendency to come across as a collection of tracks presented as an album rather than a long playing concern that actually flows, Liber Tertius is the opposite. It's an album of impressive scope and intricate detail, and one that proves that this German producer, with three decades into his career, has plenty left to say.

The battle against the plague has raged hard for over a year. Around the globe, dancefloors are empty, layers of dust and broken bottles strewn across them…the glowsticks have long faded to black. But the Cologne mothership KOMPAKT has managed to prevail, bringing inspiration and hope through the message of music to a decaying humanity.

The Reawakening is finally in sight. It is only fitting that New York’s Steve Moore (of Zombi, Gianni Rossi and Lovelock fame) makes his return to KOMPAKT now with this foursome. Especially as his last release for us, “Frame Digging” (KOM 415) directly preceded the start of the pandemic.

AUTO SEQUENCE START – the time arrived for us to press the reset button. The cycle has completed.

Der Kampf gegen die Seuche tobt nun bereits seit über einem Jahr. Rund um den Globus sind die Tanzflächen leer, Schichten von Staub haben sich darüber gelegt, zerbrochenen Flaschen liegen herum ... auch die Leuchtstäbe sind längst erloschen. Doch das Kölner Mutterschiff KOMPAKT hört nicht auf, der darbenden Menschheit Inspiration und Hoffnung durch die Botschaft der Musik zu bringen.

Das Wiedererwachen ist in Sichtweite. Umso passender, dass der New Yorker Steve Moore (bekannt durch Zombi, Gianni Rossi und Lovelock) nun mit dieser 4 Track Maxi sein KOMPAKT-Comeback feiert. Denn seine letzte Veröffentlichung für uns, "Frame Digging" (KOM 415), war direkt vor Beginn der Pandemie erschienen.

AUTO SEQUENCE START - die Zeit ist gekommen, den Reset-Knopf zu drücken. Der Kreis schließt sich.

The French crew La Boomerie is back with its second EP produced by Sunaas. Deep dive into its musical Spectrum, produced with Birkenstock on feet and cat on knees for dancefloor and sofa purposes.

Mutuo means feeling the same emotion, or doing the same between two or more people reciprocally. This is what inspires us to combine the wisdom of experienced artists with fresh energies from emerging ones, representing the Latin-American underground sound.

On our first release we featured young talent Lautaro Scavuzzo with Conexión EP.

Side A features "Conexión" and "Reset", 2 tracks with minimalist overtones that cut through deep, random and jazzy environments.

On the B side, an exquisite delivery by master Alan Castro. In "Conexión remix" he demonstrates his sophisticated style full of complex textures and creative compositions.

Ivano Tetelepta's Siena invites a close group of homies from the Dorcas imprint, all hailing from Arnhem, The Netherlands. Having collaborated before with a few known (and unknown) appearances from Ivano on the Dorcas label now it's time to give this crew a warm welcome to Siena. Since Siena is a family affair from the beginning its purpose always has been to spread and push beats from befriended and likeminded pals around Ivano himself. After many delays and a busy release schedule its finally time to shine a light on Julien Fuentes' Dorcas crew. Presenting a full pack with a wide range of styles, label owner Julien Fuentes kicks off with the bouncy two-stepper 'Classic Style'. John Mood quickly joins with a summer anthem pur sang, take the 'Blue Pill' and dive into a tranc-y world full of smiles and joy. The biggest contribution comes from Sennin, with four tracks he presents his take on gritty grooving tech-house. His dubs are floating around in the Arnhem/Nijmegen underground for a while, finally they see the light of the day on this excellent pack of Dorcas dancefloor jams.

Twenty’s plenty (apparently), it’s also the number we use to welcome our first artist from the US of A into the fold, Detroit USA to be exact. Francois Dillinger has been doing his thing on labels This Ain’t Bristol, Natural Sciences and Anabatic Records plus others, fusing deep melodic Techno with 909 laden broken beat Electro.
With this his inaugural release for us, he brings a fusion of these trademark sounds as the lead track Infinite eases you in with sparse punchy drums and brooding bass line before spooky Arabic style horns beckon us in further. It’s a hybrid between Electro and Techno with a drop ominous enough to make even Freddie Krugger think twice about staying in the club! It’s a track that’ll be heard on the floors of Berlin, Ibiza or even a few Miami Booty Bass pool parties (see enclosed DJ Feedbacks)!
Up next is man of the moment Dragosh (Desolat / Moonharbour / Modvlar Label Boss) who keeps the original vibe while flipping the core elements into a glitchy House groove, adding some funked up Hammond chords to really stamp his style onto the remix.
Third to the plate is Rejekt favourite Marc Ashken (Safari Electronique / Lazerslut) with a hypnotic synth groove, with offbeat whistles and sirens floating over a stick heavy drum groove to create something slightly special (well we think so)!
And finally! Another instant Ibiza classic as Francois again fuses his Electro bass and synth laden sound this time into more of a Melodic Techno vibe, this is Shameless and once again according to the DJ Feedbacks, this will be keeping people locked to the floor at clubs like DC10, The Berghain, Fabric et al..

With "red" from krüger + meyer released on "35 Grad records" the first disc out of a rainbow comes up. This arc will be gradually completed from now on and, with its different colors, always includes different musical facets.

The current "red" edition includes the remixers "Beatamines", "Dompe" and "Rachel Raw" in collaboration with "Boho". The original and the work of the remixers deliver fine techno for the floor and next to it.

2019 was a year full of celebrations for Nicolas Duvoisin. Not only did his label Fantastic Friends turn 10, he also celebrated his 20 years of career as a DJ/Producer and, last but not least, he experienced the joys of becoming a father for the first time. It was clearly this powerful emotional context that pushed Nicolas Duvoisin to work on a more substantial project, exploring wider horizons and stepping out of his comfort zone.

“Mon Premier” is definitely a testament to the artist’s maturity and courage, displaying more sensitivity and intimacy than what the usual club night behind the decks generally allows. Nicolas took the freedom to let his inspiration bring him into unknown territories, working without a particular framework, style or label in mind and starting from scratch for each track of the album. The challenge was also to experiment with new writing approaches and techniques, in order to lose some of the methods and habits many artists get trapped into at certain points in their careers.

The result is an eclectic collection of sounds, moving through dub, ambient, minimal and house, patiently put together in Nicolas’ studio near Lausanne, away from the frenzy of the dancefloor. Dive into Nicolas Duvoisin’s ever-expanding universe and enjoy the ride.

RISING STAR PACH gets his first release on Darius Syrossian’s Moxy Muzik label. The 12 inch vinyl also has a tasty remix by the king of the original minimal sound, American born & Berlin based Jay Haze, who takes things as stripped back and raw as they come.

Syrossian completes the package taking things on a more deep chunky vibe tinged with garage influences.

Subb-an continues to adapt and develop his One Records label with another EP from long-time collaborators Yamen & EDA.

As per usual - the duo's productions rounds up One Records signature sound perfectly: neatly reduced, modern minimal that doesn't shout too loudly for attention but is highly effective on the dance floor.

The 'Joe Kerr' EP is brimming with active, bouncing bass lines, darting stabs and pacy drums. Also included is a remix from the label head himself who sticks a new engine in 'Infinite Diversity' giving it a more potent, gritty drive. Man on fire Youandewan also weighs in with his take on Joe Kerr which interweaves tight stabs and drums with effortless flair - a sound that he's become renowned for and one that does the job on the floor without fail.

It's widely know that Gorge loves to work with different partners in his studio. Since his countless collaborations with Markus Homm and Nick Curly it was now the first time he sat down together with Marc Lenz for these 3 tracks.

Starting this year strong with our second release!

On the menu, 4 amazing producers and 4 solid tracks.

All reunited within the same universe, this compilation is filled with house, tech-house, and UKG sounds.

A1 is brought by Oward. The French producer delivers a track full of grooves, breaks, and cheeky vocals.

A2 is by the man himself Admo. This one is a groovy tech-house cut. A lot of drums and a sick bassline.

B1 is from the man who needs no introduction, Adam Collins. Raw tech-house sound delivered on a silver platter.

B2 closing up this VA is Borren. The Dutch producer has many talents and he proves it with this UKG/Speed garage cut."

The specially designed game and accompanying music video pertains to the overall theme of the EP, which shows an absurd society obsessed with social media descending into a dystopian world. It is a paranoid graphic vision, set in Brussels, Strapontin’s hometown, that puts you in control of a role playing game as you march round the city collecting social points with scant regard for others.

Besides being a dancer, performer and on-and-off “Madame pipi”, French-born, Brussels-based Strapontin is also a DJ and producer who mixes up slow and rough techno with thrilling soundtracks and groove driven disco. He has released on Nein and I’m Single amongst others and marks this 10th Hard Fist release in fine style.

Opening up the EP is ‘Nervous Days’, a gallivanting techno-disco groove with rugged loops and jumbled percussion that sounds like a rampage through a cityscape, as per the video. Then comes ‘But The Nice One!’, a stomping and rough and ready ride on lumpy drums and bass that is dark but playful. The quality continues on ‘Miss Mickey the Dumbs’, with some brilliantly heavy and reverberating drums making you jerk your body while sci-fi effects float and drift about up top.

Blindetonation label regular and esteemed modern disco man Thomass Jackson remixes ‘But The Nice One!’ In his capable hands it becomes a melon twisting workout with spangled synth lines, psyched-out synths and percolating drums that are finished with a vulnerable and eerie vocal. Last of all is a Damon Jee remix of ‘Miss Mickey the Dumbs’, His music can be heard on the underground’s most sought-after labels including Roam, Hafendisko, Suara and Sincopat to name just a few. His version is a more direct affair, with searching laser synths and a hypnotic space-techno vibe that carries you off to the stars at increasingly high speeds.

This is a fittingly brilliant EP from the vital Strapontin on ever-excellent Hard Fist.

Subjoi has a long history with Shall Not Fade, an early addition to the Lost Palms series which now hits its 48th release. The Adelaide-based producer had two stunning EPs on the label in 2020, displaying his signature blends of eclectic dance music styles.

Compared to last year's Bias, Steadfast EP is a more understated affair, leaving space for Subjoi's production skill to shine. The title track pairs piano melodies and subtle breakbeat for an emotive sound easing into "Count It Off", where slow pads give way to a beat that takes influence from UK garage and jungle. By coupling this high-energy style with sombre chords, Subjoi makes a uniquely melancholy club track.

Yearning vocals and synth stabs build complexity in "Rapids", a forward late night number. The closing track keeps the
haunting atmosphere of the rest of the records, fading out as subtly as it began with an organic sound palette contrasting the stuttering 2-step beat.

Welcome to Anthony Naples first outing for Running Back. Swerve sees the New York resident putting his dancing shoes back on and taking a pause from his admittedly brilliant other side. A development that last year’s Club Pez on ANS already foreshadowed. While his music is at times ethereal and cerebral, but also engaging and compelling, Naples manages to fill the gap between finesse and function with idiosyncratic abilities.
Starting with the title track that builds a bridge between a beehive and Joey Beltram’s hoover sound, it’s clear that Naples has something unique in case of temperature and tempo. Swerve flows around an addictive bass line, adds a splash of piano and manages to feel big without the usual cheap tricks. Played by Four Tet and Pete Tong. If bangers-not-bangers would be a genre, Naples would have created one of its prime examples.
The rest follows lead: Here With You uses skippy beats underneath a TB-303, Right As The Sun Goes extracts elements of its two predecessors, but mirrors them with delightful mellowness and finally, Be To feels like the continuation of the sprawling hypnotism of the mid-nineties.
One EP to get your swerve on. High quality artwork by Gasius.

Titonton Duvante's long and more than essential Residual Recordings clocks up a fantastic 25th release in the form of a fifth volume of the famous Refraction series. This one draws on another masterful mix of names including Nachtbraker, Christopher Rau, Titonton himself as well as a rare killer outing from veteran S-Max. Reaching a milestone in style...

Nachtbraker opens the EP with a swirling house cut that is riddled with FM bass, twinkling keys and balmy pads that reach for the heavens. Christopher Rau goes for a more raved up house cut with feel good energy chords but a nice deep bassline and pensive synths on his Give It. Titonton does as he does best - keeps it deep, loopy yet driven, with a slick tech cut that is dubbed out and perfectly atmospheric as well as being hugely infectious. Last of all, S-Max comes correct with the slick boom bap of his stripped back house roller Lil' Lightyear Wants to Ride, with its dreamy pads and sci-fi feels.

Residual is by now, and for many years been a key label for lovers of tasteful house, as this latest collection proves they are showing no signs of slowing down.

New Members bringing the straight up heat to Dreamers. Rollers for fun !

Independent label MASK returns with another untitled release featuring six innovative interpretations.
Blossoming Berlin-based imprint MASK continues to invite anonymous artists to the label, delivering quality cuts produced using analogue gear across the imprint’s trademark style of raw house, techno and ambient territories. With support from the likes of ItaloJohnson, Truncate, DJ Bone and Ryan Elliott, DATE welcomes
the arrival of six fresh, immersive cuts as they enlist yet another unknown artist to join the series.
The widely appealing package opens via the filtered loops, layered sonics and low humming frequencies of ‘A1’, whilst ‘A2’ reveals a deeper, darker cut with sharp boom bap drums, distorted tones and warped effects.
Next, ‘A3’ has an ethereal edge and explores a plethora of robust sounds, dubby chords and heady, pulsating rhythms.
On the flip, the richly euphoric ‘B1’ leads with seductive drum programming, chopped-up vocal snippets and scintillating keys that take listeners to another level. Penultimate offering ‘B2’ reveals a driving, feel-good affair before rounding out proceedings with the off-kilter, jazz-leaning and undoubtedly enrapturing soundscapes of the low-slung ‘B3’.

Following the completely sold out 'Imagine - A - Nation' and 'Le Fusion' reissues, Anotherday brings you a very special release from the vault of the enigma that is Spencer Kincy, AKA Gemini - we are very proud, and extremely excited to present Gemini's first 4 releases, lovingly re-mastered!

* Originally released on Relief Records; the Chicago techno label headed up by Cajmere, these releases were Gemini's introduction into the worlds of house and techno, and contain some of his most vital works.

* As one of Chicago's most mysterious and revered characters, the story of Gemini, aka Spencer Kincy has become something of a myth in recent years - blazing a trail throughout the 90's, prolifically releasing over 200 tracks from 1994 to 1999, Spencer's music had shades innovation and soul few of his peers could match. Then, suddenly, at the peak of his career, he disappeared.

* As before, this album has been licensed directly from the man himself, and the money made from its exploitation will go directly to him.
