A big welcome back to our longtime friend Stefano Noferini with his fabulous 'Extramelody'. And thanks for the great remixes to Metodi Hristov & Drunken Kong! Getting ready for the summer (Monika Kruse)

This remix package features the cutting edge of underground dance music in the form of remixes from Deetron, Prospa, Kideko and rising talent Hi, I'm Claude.

The official track has amassed 100 Spins at UK radio including plays from Danny Howard, Pete Tong and KISS FM. It has amassed over 1 million streams since launch and is growing at club with huge support from the likes of Ritchie Hawtin, Marco Carola, Richy Ahmed, Lee Walker, Gorgon City (Prospa Mix) and many more

Tech House heavyweight Deetron is hot off the heels of a jam packed 2018 touring including 19 countries over the year. He is highly regarded within the scene and has a Dj Kicks and Fabric Live compilation to boast among credits.

Prospa are one of the hottest tipped Dance acts for 2019. Their underground smash Prayer has had 48 spins at Radio alone since release and is flying at the moment. Their mix of Just About was premiered by Pete Tong on Radio 1 and this is the unreleased extended mix.
Kideko provides a huge sounding house mix of Just About that had already had 10 spins at KISS FM.

Rotate's first release as a vinyl imprint comes as a collective sonic statement of seven chapters. With tracks from all the music crafters of the family, Rotate starts the year with steady momentum, in a collection of different-yet-unified sound that combines wit, fresh attitude and unique musical signatures.

Makcim & Levi Verspeek cut the ribbon with peculiar focus on groove, and a sizzling atmosphere to match. Their 'Chickens Night Out' (A1) works as a cradle for slowly building albeit steady dancefloor motions, without ever forgetting the balance that the use of intertwined warm tones can actually create. Mattia Lapucci grabs the gears of the (already moving) train and keeps it rotating with 'External' (A2), adding tips and bits of steady beat programming, joyful chords and filtered, unspoken vocals to a galactic sonic cauldron.

Gua Camole kicks the flip-side with 'Drop Out' (B1), a 4 by 4 excursion to a land of hypnotic rhythms, eerie synth pads and unrecognizable vocal samples that ultimately feed a atmosphere of already great mystery and idiosyncratic acid patterns. 'Tournikottipannacotta' (B2) is David Gluck's take on drum-machine experimentalism and full-toned low-ends in full effect, reminiscent of the early 00's signature micro-house movement where microscopic sample-cutting and shuffled hi-hats were all the rage.

Cleymoore's 'Endless Rotation' (C1) is a 15-minute journey through startling soundscapes, sweltering synths and his endemic, hand-shifted drum arrangements. Dialogues from a obscure french cult movie ebb and flow throughout the entire arrangement along with Photonz's pulsating synths, ultimately setting a hypnotic, provocative tone to the second record.

Loopdeville opens the last side of the compilation with 'Humo' (D1), a pulsating, almost cardiac low-end arrangement of kicks and bass stabs that rumble beneath a palette of warm chords and shamanic, humming vocals for pure mental thrill. Andrea Cichecki's 'Tethys' (D2) finishes Rotate's seven-part story with a fine exercise on sonic delirium and total loss of equanimity. Between the warm, yet slightly lunatic tone of her modular system melodies and soundscapes, there's a discerning attitude and sharp poise in her drum arrangements, as if making people dance while lost in time and space would be possible. And it is, they keep rotating.

Drumcode returns with its 6th installment of the internationally celebrated A-Sides series. Renowned for fostering a shared space between industry tastemakers and rising talent alike, the careful curation that goes into each volume is a fine example of why Beyer's brand continues to go from strength to strength.

Techno titan Adam Beyer has grown Drumcode into a force to be reckoned with; the label has become synonymous with forward-thinking, functional techno and even after 20 years, Drumcode continues to find new boundaries to push, and ways to solidify its legacy as the world's number one techno label.

2017 is no exception, with Beyer's imprint hosting it's first stage at Tomorrowland, not to mention the expansion of the critically acclaimed Junction 2 where the Drumcode stage is the centrepiece and Adam plays the key role of festival director. The Drumcode phenomenon continues to grow each week, chiefly fuelled by Drumcode Radio, Adam's radio show that's broadcast in 57 countries via 86 stations and to a global audience of 16 million techno fans per week.

The A-Sides series acts as a perfect vignette of Drumcode's cutting-edge sound; functional yet inspired techno, all tracks tried and tested by Beyer himself. Vol. 6 continues this tradition with a collection of 16 multi-faceted cuts from a mixture of both emerging artists and experienced label friends.

The heart-throbbing bass in Amelie Lens' electrifying piece 'In Silence' sets the tone for the dark and dance-floor-ready energy that Vol.6 carries the whole way through. Other standouts include Mars Bill's rough'n'ready 'Mohave'. Pulsating and precise, 'Mohave' has highlighted many of Beyer's sets recently as has Wehbba's monster track 'Fake', which fans have been anticipating the release of all year.

Label-favourites Dense & Pika also feature on 'A-Sides' Vol. 6 with their hard-hitting 'Just a Beat' and a huge track from Beyer himself who has joined forces with Enrico Sangiuliano to bring us their undeniably infectious 'Preset Heaven'.

With many more notable selections from the likes of Julian Jewell, Timmo, Tiger Stripes and Pig&Dan, A-Sides Vol. 6 is another impressive addition to the label's prolific release roster and a testament to why Drumcode remains at the forefront of the electronic world.

A real Techno / House / Electrosynth Stomper!! "Patrik Book has being in our knowledge since we were kids and listening to his early project AUSGANG VERBOTEN "Entertainment", a real underground synth tape released back in 84 and later re-released as LP by Genetic Music 2004." Enough said, 100% POWER! This wont slip!

limited yellow repress !

support by:
Pig & Dan (COCOON), Danny Tenagliy, Axel Bartsch, Hermanez, Terry Francis, Andre Rozzo (mountain people), Luke Miskelly (fuse), This is why we dance, Enzo Siragusa (fuse), Marco Duranti (UGLH), Lewis Ryder, Andrea Ferlin (sleep is commercial, contexterrior), Magda, Orde Slam (Soma/Paragraph), Hernan Cattaneo, Paco Osuna, Richie Hawtin, Dubfire...

Since opening their digital doors in 2009, Lucidflow has built up quite a following of admirers; luminaries such as Slam, Hernan Cattaneo, Joris Voorn, Vince Watson, Steve Rachmad, Laurent Garnier, Dubfire, Guy J and many more have checked in since inception to get a piece of the action. With Lucidflow defying convention and going analogue in the last year, it makes sense for them to tap into their pool of friends and admirers for the latest in their vinyl releases. Nadja Lind & Friends is a collection of works with some of the Lucidflow family and a chance for long time supporters of the esteemed Berlin based imprint to own something more tangible.

There is no finer way to kick off than with Saharan Night, a collaboration with scene legend and veteran Brendon Moeller. A veritable production machine, his dub heavy sound is a natural fit with the Lucidflow sonic template, the deep and bubbling tones an ideal counterpoint for Nadja's sharp and swinging beat programming.

Quintin Christian made his Lucidflow debut back on LF039 (MoodWarp, Quintin Christian and Vandermeer's Illusion) and gets his chance to rub shoulders with the Lucidflow co-owner on Place Of Bliss. Significantly lighter in mood than Saharan Night but no less deep, breathless tension is the theme with field samples conjuring up the mood of middle eastern twilight. This airy mood counterpointed by the deep and bassy vocal sample that runs through the track.

Staples of DJ boxes worldwide don't come recommended more than tracks and remixes from Chris Lattner. If this is a name you are not currently acquainted with then just look at the support from DJ's such as Kerri Chandler (on his recent Watergate 15), Nick Harris (head of the sadly shuttered NRK, who featured a Lattner remix on the farewell NRK compilation) and Hot Creation's Richy Ahmed (who plucked a Lattner release for the exceptionally current Rinse mix series). Here, on Drifting Elements, Lattner keeps things skeletal, swinging the beats and letting the dub chords chime out.

To tie off the release, Nadja provides a standalone moment in Berlin All Day Long. Crafted after a seriously demanding tour schedule, it is the glorious return to the mothership. The huge and cheery dub chords provide an instant hook to a track that feels both Germanic and like it is hitting the vibe of classic New Jersey house in equal measure. Smiles all around guaranteed on this flourishing 12' series.

Don't be fooled by the ominous title, it's a family affair this one! Simina Grigoriu teams up with sibling Moe Danger and life partner Paul Kalkbrenner on the Shark Island EP, with K-Paul on remix duties and a special appearance by the label's youngest member, Paul & Simina's daughter.

The title track sets the tone with throaty vocal chops that add mystery to its clacking percussion and devilish synth lead. The effect is an intense build up, with the tension gradually released in the second half, by the way of dreamy synth arpeggios that lighten up the overall mood.

Kalkbrenner applies a staccato feel that tilts towards a more bouncy version of the original. Giving the track new life through a novel melody, it evolves into a deeply affecting piece, as its pulsating rhythm keeps the energy at a constant high.

You might know K-Paul as the electrifying half of the 90's dance duo Lexy & K-Paul, a trait that applies to his production style, as well as in his remixing effort for Shark Island. With a more enigmatic, hyper-gradual release technique, this particular remix unveils jarring electro synths with brooding countermelodies.

Totally dope and hypnotic UK Garage/Hip Hop/Grime mutations!

A new collaboration project on Crowdspacer.
Bryce Hackford, part of one of the most daring DJ crew in NYC (Deep Trouble), true purveyor of a certain New York club culture legacy (think Arthur Russell) and author of 2 acclaimed albums, came to Joakim's studio and after a few hours of live synth and drum machine jamming, JHACK was born. I would describe this as 'psychedelic voodoo house music'. But it's up to you really.

With the Telepathy Ep, new talent Dalvik debuts on vinyl with four high-quality, classic underground house tracks. "Real" starts off as a deep, Prescription Underground inspired track, yet with plenty of fresh new ideas and a voice sampling to be recognized. "After Glow" is a slower hypnotic synth journey perfect for the early morning DJ set or to chill to the day after. The B-side starts off with a peak hour house slammer, serving as a nice complement to the deeper A side. The final track is a more leftfield, experimental journey, with vocal snippets and trippy synths. The under the radar label Romb records delivers another dj favorite!

New York experimentalists Sheik N Beik continue on form as they follow up records from Japan's Keita Sano, Legowelt & Xosar and Jeffrey Scott with a bold and atmospheric 12' from Jerry Riggs & Maxwell Church a.k.a Hermans. Hailing from Toronto - Hermans specialise in their own brand of esoteric Techno that lends them perfectly to a release on Sheik N Beik. Their 'Things Change' EP slots neatly into the catalogue with its blend of spooky melodies and analogue drum work.

'Diana (How You've Changed)' kicks things off with an infectious vocal loop and juddering drum patterns. Brooklyn's Max Pask then follows up with his take on 'Diana' which sets 909 drums over a thick, burning acid line. 'Endless Toil' then follows up with a tightly wound groove built with metallic whacks and frazzled, flexing synth tones. 'Forget The Past' then brings the package to a thumping close as manic synth lines dart between crunching drums in another strong addition to Sheik N Beik's catalogue.

Following 2014's well received album for Third Ear under his :Brownstudy alias, 'Life Well Lived', Jason Hogans steps away from the mic to focus on an LP of flawless instrumentals. Returning to production under his own name for the first time since Carl Craig's Planet E label released his album Peter And The Rooster in 1998, 'The Age of Scrap' belies its title to instead deliver a forward thinking record rooted in classic Detroit, fused with futurist sonics and dope beats. Hogans seamlessly combines strains of house, jazz and hip hop, as well as the futurist bass pioneered by the likes of LA's Brainfeeder collective, throughout seven perfectly formed musical excursions. Tip.

After more than a decade of exploration, Kundi's first release remarks a new beginning of the artist, a newly born label, and a platform for merchandising music.
Hovering between melancholy and melodic hopefulness with Kundi's techno signature, Passing Strangers' unfolds into a 3-track LP. The triangular composition was inspired by "The Color Wheel Theory of Love" — a theory created by a Canadian psychologist John Alan Lee to describe different types of love.

Replacement Duty, representing a loner's longing for connection after long hours of sleep deprivation, enters with a plain sound and clean definition as the track evolves the wandering leads and progressive bass-line hits the composition.

The Color Wheel brings the mind back to more familiar, safer places. A long-awaited attempt at restoring conventional ways, its unveiling bassline puts the senses back to rest from dismays, confusions, and sparse feelings.

Passing Strangers, on its peak, concedes a confession of a disappointment. A technoid tripping with strong punch, a play of intertwining sounds and melancholic evolving arrangement, opens access to psyche's unusual places as a realization of the consequences of expectations.

Boost, Max D's third LP, is coming in February on Future Times. Seven songs acting on instinct. Check!
Mixed in Amsterdam with Jordan GCZ. Features additional instrumentation from Benedek, Jack J, Jordan GCZ, and Motion Graphics.

Midwich is proud to present Moon Pool and Dead Band's MEQ (pronounced MEK--futurespeak for `mech'), an album of swinging, dirty, analog techno-funk, created with mountains of old synthesizers. MEQ consists of Moon Pool and Dead Band's earliest track, reworked by some of Detroit's (and ex-Detroit) best producers: Patrick Russell, BMG (Brendan M. Gillen of Ectomorph), JTC (James T. Cotton/Dabrye/Charles Manier aka Tadd Mullinix), Ice Cold Chrissy (Coyote Clean Up), Michael Dykehouse, Erno the Inferno and Nate Young in Wolf Eyes mode. MEQ plays like an album, rather than a collection of remixes. The remixers were supplied with "stems" nearly one-half hour long, leaving each with an abundance of raw material at their disposal. There are no cloying, repetitive vocal hooks to disrupt the sonic narrative. Deep, dystopian techno-funk is delivered with the unerring raw assurance that only seasoned masters could deliver, leaving the music's rough edges appealingly unvarnished. The strong, danceable music is rugged enough to test the limits of any club sound-system, yet contains nuances, subtleties and warmth that make it ideal for home listening. Mastered by Ruud Lekx (Rude 66) and cut by Josh Bonati at Bonati Mastering in NYC. MEQ comes housed in a wide full-color UV gloss jacket featuring artwork by renowned sci-fi illustrator, Mark Salwowski, with layout by designer Beth Hall. A digital download code is included.  Detroit-based Moon Pool and Dead Band's David Shettler and Nate Young both have long and diverse musical histories: David Shettler is an in-demand musician and producer, playing with legendary outfits SSM, The Sights, Rodriguez, Paul Collins, Scott Morgan and many more. Nate Young is known for his work with Wolf Eyes, Regression, Dan'l Boone, Demons and many more. He is also known for his visual art and has exhibited in galleries worldwide.

It's been nearly two years since the last Sanys record. In the meantime, techno has flirted with noise and industrial, often resulting in gloomy self-indulgence.Thankfully, there is no such creative verbiage on this seventh instalment of Downfall Theory. 'Seizure' starts the release with a robust, stepping rhythm and relentless stabs playing out against atmospheric, eerie textures. It's like Shed's Wax project jamming with Deepchord.
Next up is 'Natural High'. This is one of Sanys' darkest moments so far; inspired by the depth and length of the St Petersburg winter, it sees the Russian producer lay down a visceral, muddy rhythm, against which ghostly shrieks and waves of frosty chords, blown in from the Baltic Sea, meet. 'Free Society' follows and at this stage the release takes a left of centre turn. It centres on a dense groove, defined by beats that collapse in on top of one another, space invader bleeps and some of the spookiest synths this side of John Carpenter. It's only for the bravest selectors, but once dropped it'll cause havoc. The Clouds remix of 'Seizure' closes out the release; the Scottish pair take a break from releasing on labels like Turbo, Soma, Opal Tapes and Electric Deluxe to deliver a noisy broken beat version. Focusing on noisy, malfunctioning computer tones and bolstered by killer subs, it's a far cry from Sanys' original version but is sure to appeal to anyone with an interest in the interface between techno, bass and knackered machines.

Infrasonics presents the second part in Spatial's three-part series Emergence, encompassing music and digital art. Early support has come from Machinedrum, A Made Up Sound, Mosca, Mumdance, Ekoplekz, Hodge, Ben UFO, and Beneath among other DJs. Focusing on the progression of intensive rhythmic phrases arranged in multiple layers, these rhythms seek an active neurophysical response by experimental means, as opposed to familiar patterns derived from genre. Both pieces are emphasised and systematically developed in the bass, to outline a narrative assimilable in terms of basic neurophysical functioning preceding musical understanding. In terms of generalised meaning, Reanimator' is primarily characterised by an alertness to the emergence of new possibilities, as well as suggesting a desire for experimentation in fields with ambiguous potential. Tensegrity' is characterised by a mood of tension in response to a large but otherwise unknown event rapidly approaching. It is further characterised by the difficulty involved in strategizing in the face of uncertain conditions. Coexistent with its application inside the framework of club-DJ-audience, the work is presented within a multidisciplinary approach. On the 12' vinyl a URL is printed as the only information. This leads to track information alongside an evolving visual work hosted on the web. These visuals are generated by a genetic algorithm, a mathematical expression of the understanding of genetics and evolution implicit in modern biology. It's pressed on heavyweight 180g silver vinyl and housed in a printed transparent sleeve. Emergence part 3 is forthcoming later this year.

Part 2! Enter the second circle - the realm of lust & perversity. This time the pleasure is brought by MB, Joe Lentini & Shitcluster, delivering...

After a debut 12" on Vanity Press in 2017 and a successful followup on Portage Garage Sounds, Black Noi$e returns for his first solo full length, 'Illusions' spanning 10 tracks, 48 minutes, over 2 discs, with a beautiful full sleeve by Bernard Veyu with a matte finish. Coming into his own, Detroit's Black Noi$e delivers a complete work, traversing styles and sounds from the past while looking far into to the future.

M.a.d. 001 Encompasses Four Tracks That Embrace Rude House/techno, That Is Completely Focused On The Dance Floor. But In Spite Of This, It Embodies A Broadness That Can Range From The Headiest Of Tracks To The Ones That Are Filled With Groove, Snare-rolls And Sampled Vocals That Will Make The Most Skeptical Of Club Goers Dance The Night Away.

After various tracks on releases on his Lyssna Records and Junk Yard Connections, Flord King releases his debut solo EP. Four cuts in a Flord manner.

Four Fresh Jared Wilson Tracks On His Own Label 7777 In Collaboration With Glasgow's Dixon Avenue Basement Jams. 4 Tracks Influenced By Acid, House, Techno, Roland, Make Noise, Michigan And The Great Lakes.

Play It Say It welcome a trio of top talents in Luca M, JUST2 and Atapy for a new EP featuring four fresh dancefloor tracks that are destined for big things.
Romanian Luca M is a real techno talent who counts mainstays like Marco Carola and Richie Hawtin as fans. From Suara to Terminal M, he has released on the most vital labels and runs his own Get Funky Music in collaboration with JUST2, who he works with here on three of the tracks. A fellow Romanian of equally international repute, he can lock in a dancefloor for hours on end.

Opener 'Acid Ghetto' is a masterfully slick house track with electrifying synths and restless, non-stop drums. The whole thing races along and sweeps you up with freaky vocal sounds, whirring machines and bendy pads that are as heady as they are dance friendly. The excellent 'Restore' is a supple groover with an elastic bassline and bright piano chords that will twist and turn the dancefloor out of shape and. Next up 'Bechamel' is more stripped back, with a dynamic deep house feeling permeated by dark chopped up vocals and the sort of slippery rhythm that hypnotises the whole club.

The final track is from JUST2 & Atapy, a producer who has been making his mark since 2010 on the likes of Get Physical and working with artists such as Noir and Louisahhh!!!. Their 'Levels' is a perfectly bumping house track with rich, rubbery drums and tumbling synth chords that bring an off-kilter charm to the driving grooves.

This summer, Skint Records serve up a brilliant package of remixes of Midfield General's huge 1999 smash 'Reach Out' with Linda Lewis. The new remixes come from the one and only Crooked Man and feature vocals re-recorded by Linda in 2000 which were consigned to a draw waiting for the right person to use them. Crooked Man is that person, aka Richard Barratt, a uniquely inventive house and disco producer whose self-titled 2016 album on DFA was one of the most revered of the year. He has a knack for off-kilter greatness and has also released on Optimo Trax. Interestingly, he and Midfield General both worked together on Zebra Face, a cartoon about a hip hop obsessed Zebra and his diabetic side kick for Channel 4. The show featured voices from Kid Acne, Jarvis Cocker, Roots Manuva and Lady Chann amongst others. It also turned out that Midfield General was a huge fan of the Crooked Man album before realising who was behind it, so got in touch ask for some remixes.
The results are 2 typically unusual new dance floor bombs.
The classy Remix #2 is down and dirty, with warped bass twisting and turning underneath metallic drum hits. The vocals are more aloof here and lend the whole track a feeling of effortless cool as synths gently undulate and carry you late into the night. Another standout effort, Remix #3 is somewhere in-between. It's an airy track with driving house drums and hits, and elegiac synths that bring real dynamism and musicality to the track. It's clean and soulful in design and one to bring the whole floor together as one.
These tasteful remixes have emotion and groove to spare.

Streng limitierte White Label 12inch von Peggy Gou inklusive Remixen von I:Cube, Jay Daniel und Jamal Moss!

The heavenly 'Skywards' leads the way upwards with tenderly treated spacious drum programming and light-as-air atmospherics while darker and deeper cavernous tones create the yin-yang balance of lightness and dark. 'Broken Spell' continues the uplifted vibe of a spell that when broken, blooms open with an intoxicating permeating sweetness like an exotic fragrance that lingers in one's memory. 'A New Day' leans slightly more towards a heavier driven track featuring a funky bassline with bright electronic notations as counterpoint while drifting, dreamy pads keep the overall mood airy and light. The off-kilter knob is turned way right on the bouncy final track 'Disjointed Route', injecting dashes of wry quirk alongside a lightly moving groove.

Detroit duo Ataxia offer up their 'Kodak Moment' EP via Visionquest this March, accompanied by an edit from label co-founders Shaun Reeves and Ryan Crosson.

Eric Ricker and Ted Krisko aka Ataxia have been at the forefront of the contemporary house and techno scene for some time, racking up releases on some of the leading labels across the globe such as Leftroom, Nervous, Culprit and Play It Say It, making the duo one of Detroit's finest exports in recent years. Here we see them making their debut on Visionquest, the label of fellow Detroit natives Ryan Crosson, Shaun Reeves and Lee Curtiss.

'VHS' leads the package with murky synth swells, resonant synth sweeps and fluttering square wave bass tones at it's core as shuffled drums carry the ever-evolving hypnotic groove along. The original mix of 'Kodak Moment' follows, shifting the focus over to snaking bass lines, mind-bending, modulating synth whirrs and dynamic, choppy percussion throughout.

Reeves & Crosson's 'Edit' of 'Kodak Moment' then rounds out the release, stripping things back to ethereal atmospherics and shuffled drums whilst subtly stirring in the original's hooky bass groove as the interpretation unfolds.

In 1990, raising their voices over the sound of Neuropolitique's 'Mind you don't trip' Sebastian S. and Mike DMA (Direct Memory Access) met, breaking the ice by swapping opinions on LFO and 808 State. They later went on to create the first live configuration of BWP Experiments (Bad Woofer Posse Experiments, for more info see basicmoves), and produced dozens of tracks together which, for the most part, were live takes and remain unreleased. Only
a few made it out into the world, and to this day have stayed well under the (discogs) radar:
Our Techno Theory' was put out on an 8-tracker cassette by Research and Development,
while only two productions 'Escape' and 'Pay your taxes' were pressed on vinyl for the same
imprint. Now Sebastian S. (aka Caustic 14) returns to the label with two previously unreleased tracks
found in his personal archive. 'Excalibur' was produced in tandem with Mike during the last
session the pair ever did in Sebastian's studio (Z'ha'dum) in 1996. It's a vibrant hommage to
their common passion outside of music: Sci-fi. This track refers specifically to the series Babylon
5 , which was a revolution in the genre, and the first tv series to outdo Star Trek (the intergalactic
reference since the early 1960's). The idea of being 'united against darkness' was key to the
series, and the motto remained essential for Sebastian, Mike and Deg's music productions,
collaborations, live shows and dj sets. The influence of what had been a passion since
childhood can be felt in their sound: unconsciously they had dreamt up the soundtrack to their
own space journey. The second track 'Cliffhanger', a solo production by Sebastian S., is a dig from several years
earlier (1994). The Detroit influence is strong here, yet the signature Caustic 14 "space opera"
melodies hold their ground and shine out.
We are very proud to propel this Belgian electronic music heritage out into the world.

In memory of Matt Cogger.

walrus & islas , September 2018.

Late September will see Ceri release her 'Truth' EP via Decay Records, backed with remixes from
Julien Sandre (Blind Box, These Days, Rawax) and OCH (Trelik, Bass Culture, All Inn).

London based producer and DJ Ceri has been steadily on the rise over the past decade. She shaped her
distinctive DJ style playing nine hour sets in the second room of Corsica Studios as one of Jaded's
official residents.

Her rising reputation then led to recognition from many electronic music institutions, such as fabric and
Percolate in London and Back To Basics in Leeds. Further afield, after supporting her music, Jamie
Jones welcomed her as a guest for his Paradise party at DC10 in Ibiza and she has graced the decks in
Berlin, Mexico, Switzerland and Italy too.

Amongst these impressive feats, Ceri is also widely recognised for her studio talents, with her releases and
remixes being played by everyone from Richie Hawtin to D'julz.

Title-track 'Truth', inspired as a response to Brexit, takes the lead with pulsating subs, bumpy rhythms,
tight-knit percussive shuffles and menacing sawtooth bass tones while spoken world vocal tones stating 'we
are all equal' and how we should live 'not with our minds, but with our hearts', further fuel the murky,
atmospheric aesthetic. Julien Sandre steps up to rework 'Truth' next, stamping his mark on things via
ethereal atmospheric flutters and robust, swinging drums.

The second original from Ceri, 'Be Mine', opens up the flip side, this time round embracing low slung
rhythms, a choppy tom-driven bass line and dynamic, tension building feel throughout with resonant synth
licks, vocal shots and string gradually unfolding. Autoreply main man OCH then closes the release with his
take on 'Be Mine', delivering a typically stripped back and groovy interpretation from the Berlin based artist,
focused on intricately programmed percussion and gritty bass stabs.

It's a pleasure to get behind your friends from around world, in fact that's the motive behind the breadth of the ESP Institute catalogue, but its truly a special feeling to represent your friends and your neighborhood at the same time. Producers Sonns (Alexandre Mouracade) and the mysterious Venice Beach native Tavish Graham are both long time friends of the ESP Institute family, we break bread, we take care of each other, and we cherish our collaborations more than anything, but we're also neighbors. That said, ESP is proud to announce a homegrown endeavor, the debut of Sonns & Tavish. The two have long been stewards of the Los Angeles underground, but after loads of early morning banter and the camaraderie that comes with this smoke'n'strobe life, they've now committed their singular vision to print—two epic cuts that make us proud. Side A's title track Trycksaker is a thumper, a mid-tempo big-drum-laden beast that chugs the whole way through carrying an array of eerie bleeps and fleeting sighs. Side B's Roguish Days pulls together influences from various corners of the pair's DJ repertoire, gelling a wicked breakbeat with a wormy acid bassline and even more exotic sighs, something that might possibly grow into a signature of sorts. This release is ready just in time for the Spring/Summer exploits, and we couldn't be more proud to finally enjoy hearing these heavy-hitters in the club. Tip!

LiveJam Records' backbones EMG and John Swing make their first appearance as Vinalog on the sought-after Limited series of the label. This promo release prepares the ground for an upcoming double 12' soon out on LiveJam Records. 300 copies of heavy duty analogue cuts.

Seth Troxler's Play It Say It label opens up 2018 with another release from the highly regarded Ataxia, who serve up their third EP for the imprint.The Detroit duo impressed with their previous outings on the label, The Supertouch EP back in July 2017 and The Acid EP in 2016. Since then they have also released on Leftroom and Nervous and continued their eight year residency at prominent Detroit venue TV Lounge. Their fresh take on Motor City techno often comes with flashes of acid and makes cyber punks Ted Krisko and Eric Ricker one of the most interesting pairs in the game. Opening up the essential EP is 'Quicksand', an immediately arresting and busy electro track with real machine soul. The bassline bubbles and boils underneath crisp percussion and emotive keys bring a sense of tenderness. It's a macho cut with robust drums and is sure to win over any crowd.
The fresh 'Hot Snakes' is a deep, menacing track with dark bass gurgling beneath the airy hi hats. Frazzled synths are dystopian and brain frying, and together the whole thing takes you into hypnotic territory with an intense sense of urgency that is impossible to ignore.Last of all is the freakiest of the lot. The brilliant 'Texas is the Reason' has circling bass that is warped and intriguing and will own any club, while the drums drive on and trippy keys are skewed and twisted up top. It's a truly intense record for late in the night that is sure to become a big tune.
This is an expressive and varied EP full of contemporary and innovative Detroit house and techno sounds and marks another step in the Ataxia story.

Hot on the heels of this summers anthemic release I Found You', Damian Lazarus & The Ancient Moons return with another heavy hitter: 'Fly Away' complete with stupendous Dennis Ferrer Remix. 'Fly Away' is another great beguiling, soulful masterpiece by Damian Lazarus & The Moons, featuring the inimitable vocal talents of Afronaut Zu, who transcendent voca leanings underpin the lush evocative production of the effortless string laden grooves.
On the flip and Dennis Ferrer delivers a monster of a remix; jacking the groove, dubbing Zu's vocal and mesmerising the dance-floor to maximum effect!

Following the release of his Projector EP earlier this month, Daniel Avery has enlisted revered London producer Four Tet aka Kieran Hebden for a remix of 'Quick Eternity', taken from the former's long-awaited second album Song For Alpha.

Hebden flips the warm, undulating synths and crystalline percussion of Avery's original in his own inimitable style, building shimmering, skittering flourishes before a pneumatic final half.

As humans living on the planet today, we have become so removed from our original, natural habitat—the forest—that we forget our wild roots, our primal, animal origins. Music is one of the things that can bring us back to that place, that can put us in contact with a felt world of instinct, immediacy, and presence: a world where language and the problem-solving mind are not needed, where the music keeps your mind and body in the present moment, and the point of dancing becomes the dance of our inner wildness and animality itself. Hans Berg's Sounds of the Forest Forgotten affirms that music can bring us to a state of mind and body that can help us feel what we've forgotten from the forest. The overlaying project of the album is to conjure musical and conceptual resonances between mysticism and nature, summoning the incredible depth and force of nature that we usually miss, especially living in contemporary urban cities. Sounds of the Forest Forgotten channels the creativity, playfulness, and freedom of a life both before and beyond ours through the sounds of analog and digital synthesizers, a modular system, drum machines, and computers. Recorded between Hans's studios in Berlin and on the Swedish countryside, the album similarly shuttles between contemplative and ecstatic, between delicate and powerful, mixing sublime psychedelic techno compositions like 'Emerald Sea' with acidic dance-floor bangers like 'Storm' and 'Milk Thistle,' all nestled between contemplative and textural ambient compositions like 'Butterfly' and 'Glow Worm.' Berg is known for his enthralling productions and energetic livesets that capture dance floors with his particular brand of hypnotic techno, replete with angular lines, affecting melodies, pulsating basslines, and big drums. He also produces atmospheric scores and ambient soundscapes to accompany the video art and installations of long-term collaborator and celebrated artist Nathalie Djurberg. Berg's live sets have found a home in nightclubs around the world, with recent gigs in Berlin, Stockholm, New York, Tokyo, and Melbourne, to name a few. In addition to 2MR, he has released his solo work on record labels including Ian Pooley's imprint Montage, Klasse Recordings, and The Vinyl Factory. His ongoing collaboration with fellow Swede Johanna Knutsson - as Knutsson/Berg - has led them to start the label UFO Station Recordings, on which they release their own material. The duo also has released on labels such as Idle Hands, Default Position, Kann, and Random Island.

Following Lo Shea's industrial 'Iterations EP', Dusky's 17 Steps welcomes the mysterious Polymod to the label family with a three track EP of club tools that draw on classic acid house and techno influences.

Hooked with a vintage '88 piano loop and tightly sprung bassline, opener 'No Other' has been ever present in Dusky's sets since the autumn - already inspiring multiple posts in a certain well-known Facebook ID group, as well as causing one eager ID hunter to tweet Dusky with home played piano videos of the main loop.

For all its catchiness, though, it maintains an understated approach that plays on dynamics and contrast - a driving club tool.

Taking a darker route but maintaining the intensity, 'TX' goes for the jugular with a looping surge of acid and rolling electro rhythms.

Completing the trio is the spacious 'PG1000' that joins the dots between '90s ambient, proto-house and Detroit machine music at its most dreamy.

Kim Ann Foxman's Firehouse imprint storms into 2018 with an extra special re-release of the 1994 rave classic Scott Richmond and John Selway aka Psychedlic Research Lab, Keep On Climbin' .The package features both original mixes alongside two outstanding remixes from Deetron and Kim Ann Foxman. Mix 1 and Mix 2 sound as glorious now as they did when they were released. Mix 1, a bold, breakbeat construct, chopped vocal and emerging acid lines. Mix 2 places four to the floor. It's deeper with added percussion, soft chord stabs and an almighty breakdown to the drop. Deetron makes his debut on Firehouse with a tough, grinding version, underpinned by his signature, gnarling bassline sound. Kim Ann Foxman incorporates acid lines to her revision. It builds intensely from start to finish, using Angela Johnson's iconic vocal loop to perfection.

Rekids celebrates 10 years of Radio Slave's 'Grindhouse' with remixes from Len Faki, Slam, Obscure Shape & SHDW, Vatican Shadow, Markus Suckut, Lady Starlight and Special Request. First appearing on a release as part of Radio Slave's iconic 'No Sleep' series, 'Grindhouse' spawned multiple remixes from the likes of Dubfire, Danton Eeprom, Terrance Fixmer and Nic Fanciulli to become one of the biggest techno records since its original release. To commemorate this fact, Len Faki has produced two different reinterpretations in the first of four heavyweight remix packages.
'I didn't plan to go back to Grindhouse. It's a monster of a record and undoubtedly the biggest release we've had on the label, but after 10 years it seems right to revisit the track and also add some new versions from some of my favourite techno producers." - Radio Slave With Danton Eeprom's vocal resonating throughout, Faki's first remix features crunchy snares, ominous chords and shuffling effects before piercing synths come into effect in the latter half. Meanwhile, the second version rumbles forward with its undulating bassline, soaring atmospherics and echoing elements to round up two solid productions exemplary of the Figure founder's seasoned abilities in the studio.

Timely re issue of Reese's cult classic 'Just Want Another Chance'. One of techno's classic basslines that inspired a generation of DnB, Garage and Dubstep producers.

Originally released on Detroit's Incognito label, this re issue on Kevin Saunderson's (Reese) own KMS imprint and has been re mastered for 2014. Contains the original, dub and accapella versions plus a whole host of 'Rhythm Tracks' written by Kevin Saunderson on the B side for creative DJ's to play with.

July sees Radio Slave's Rekids invite Britain's renowned Swayzak to the roster with a Cold War themed release entitled 'Odessa Calling' EP.A name associated with quality, Swayzak's ability to retain their signature sound whilst producing across various sub-genres has cemented them a solid reputation since their humble beginnings in the 90s. Their impressive back catalogue includes six studio albums and appearances on labels like K7, M_nus, Curle, Ellum and Swayzak's own label 240 Volts, which was relaunched in 2017. Originally a duo comprised of David Brown and James Taylor, Brown has been helming the project solo since 2012. He now joins respected Berlin-based imprint Rekids with two inspired productions. 'Odessa Calling' is a mysterious track with hypnotic synths, mesmerising pads and enigmatic vocals that combine together to create a celestial aesthetic. On the flipside, 'Numbers Station' continues with the otherworldly feel employing shimmering percussion that wanders alongside a brooding bassline for a well refined finish to the package.

Aus Music follow up a string of exclusive releases from Primitive Trust with Tee Mango (one half of PT) Having released on Clone in 2017 Tee Mango comes back to AUS for his second EP in as many years. EP#2 carries forth much of the the same classiness he's well know for. A side 'Come A Little Closer samples a personal favourite 'Make It Last Forever' by Inner Life which is paired with playful drum rhythms and smooth rhodes chords. Prototypical opts for punchy drums and a swinging bass, a track that would work as well peak time as it would warming up. Wazoo rounds off the perectly balanced EP a deep cruiser with a pinch of acid.

Scottish producer & DJ Graeme Clark AKA The Revenge releases his second album 'When The Thrill Comes' on his own Roar Groove imprint on 11th May 2018.

'When The Thrill Comes' is a demonstration of a producer achieving a point of maturity in their work, able to exercise a sense of restraint, to allow for their sound to have space. It is also the opportunity for The Revenge to explore his own electronic music roots with a deeper pared-back sound more in touch with his earliest production experiences in house and techno.

Clark is no novice to the art of production and the sweaty alchemy of animating bodies on dance floors. He has been producing and playing electronic music since 1995, in many forms, though is well known for 'some of finest modern disco dubs and re-edits on the block' (DJ Mag). This passion for dusty disco and deep cuts is reflected in his long-standing collaboration with Craig Smith as 6th Borough Project which has yielded 3 albums and provided the foundation for the influential but now defunct Instruments Of Rapture label.

2015 was a momentous year for Clark with the release of his debut album 'Love That Will Not Die' on his own Roar Groove imprint. The LP picked up 'Best British Album' from DJ Mag, was shortlisted for Scottish Album Of The Year and drew support from leading DJs including Jackmaster, John Talabot, Solomun, Craig Richards, Axel Boman amongst others. Recent production work has both cemented and extended his reputation; with his future-facing remix for Auntie Flo being re-touched by Dixon for the Philomena label and his two EP's for Berlin's Dirt Crew Recordings reinforcing his love for solid club jams

Killer Doublepack With Rmxs By Milton Jackson, Roberto Rodriguez, Einzelkind, Johan Ilves, Francois Dubois, Terry Lee Brown Jr. , Manuel Tur, Neil Qiugley !!!

Poker Flat Recordings deliver another killer collaboration, this time between Berlin's youANDme and The Analog Roland Orchestra. The result is Reflection - an EP containing more than its fair share of pure dance-floor moments. The Analog Roland Orchestra is Michal Matlak, the Berliner whose intimate knowledge of dance music's most iconic machines has made him a much-in-demand producer and remixer. Teaming up with party starters youANDme as well as vocalist Black Soda, the title track of this release explores deep vibrations, merging 303 basslines, crisp 909 programming and a highly effective vocal. The Dub Tool reworks the vocals into a more spacey arrangement, adding atmosphere for DJs who like to keep their sets stripped back and trippy. The Hyenah remix flips the script and develops a deep afro-house inspired cut - the man from the Caymen Islands developing an irresistible groove stretched out over seven and a half minutes. The Acid mix gives an opportunity for the guys to get busy working the 303 to its full (un) natural potential, while the Morning Light mix locks into a cosmic vibe - shimmering synths over a smooth, rolling deep house vibe.

Quite a few months have passed since Adam Port released his last original material on Keinemusik. It's been almost too long. But then again, every expert will confirm, you won't see a Sonnenfinsternis' every other week.

Port's new EP is going under the name of that very astronomical curiosity and accordingly, the like-titled cut on A can only be the result of a rare cosmic constellation. It starts with a spoken word field recording. Could it be, someone secretly recorded parts of the internal pre-release labelmeeting We'll leave that to your imagination. But then, all solid facts. A forceful beat, decorated with hihat-hiss, stoically pounding synthbass, rattling snare-staccato and space-opening synth-layers. Finally, some siren's wailing, just in case someone didn't get the immediacy of this material. Classy floor substance, that is, with the scarcity value of an eclipse.

Working For It', as the first track on the flipside, is rather going for the deeper realms. This coproduction with Jennifer Touch, a singer/producer that just moved from Leipzig to Berlin, is built up on a cosy, warm synth-priming, that Touch congenially contrasts with her undercooled wavy vocals. An emotional rollercoaster, if you will.
And added to that, also the B2 originates from bilateral relations between Berlin and Leipzig. Tonight' was originally shaped by Good Guy Mikesh's Wave-Pop-project Here Is Why and should still be resonating from its initial release on KM018. Port, who regularly features the tune in his sets, now delivers a DJ-friendly, more accentuated version of this timeless classic.

Romanian producer Dragosh presents a captivating EP consisting of intricately layered percussion and mystifying, rhythmic melodies combined with deep, bass driven undertones to create 3 expertly produced tracks

Classic yet fresh, part of the pantheon but exploring new forms: Module Werk continues where last year's Interdimensional Traveler EP left off with a new stand-out four-tracker on Portuguese label Helena. GRAVITATIONAL TUGS comes on in a Detroit rush of hi hats, claps and snares over an offbeat bassline, as stardust synths spin off into space overhead.Minor harmonies and a sparse breakbeat take MOMENT OF INERTIA into darker territory, preparing the ground for the vintage Ismistik-style squiggle-and-stomp of RITUAL DANCE MACHINE.
The mood lightens finally with AWAKENING, the kind of contemplative analogue electro to put on at an afterparty at your place, once you've changed into your comfiest pyjamas. Essential.

Beautiful Strangers marks the return of Theo Kottis with this sampler of his debut LP. It reveals a new chapter in his artistic journey in which he resets his creative output, free of compromise, conveying his devotion to the dancefloor, and revealing a new concept that everyone can ascribe to.

'Reasons' kicks off the record with a slice of disco tinged house music - overlaying infectious guitar and string loops, with slick piano flurries to make for a sure-fire summer winner. The A2 houses 'The Get Down' - a more heavy hitting workout packaged for the dancefloor, with a percussive bassline over the top of a choice breakbeat, tied together by a thumping kick.

Flip it over and you unearth the lovechild creation of a 303 coupled with a Brazilian classic in the form of 'Acid Disco'. A driving kick / hat combo, squelchy acid and pitched down Brazilian vocals offer up a raw but energetic stomper. Finally, 'U Need To Keep It Simple' takes you on a more emotive and powerful acid trip. The sweeping synths building throughout the track coupled with soaring strings, alongside an alluring acid line....proper!

Bath-come-London party purveyors, Origins, take to channelling some of their creativity into the creation of their own Origins label. At the helm for the debut release is Bristolian up-and-comer Tommosini. Having heard Move D unleash the beauty of 'Another Dimension' at Freerotation last year, Origins knew they had to find out who the mastermind behind this deep house gem was....and the rest, they say, is history.

'Another Dimension' transports you through the galaxies via a combination of dreamy pads, crisp percussion, full-bodied bass and those sensual deep tinged vocals. Future classic in the making.

The A2 'I Don't Stop' carries on the U.S flavoured deep house with a vocal house track that wouldn't be out of place coming from the shores of Chicago masterfully intertwining a bumping bassline, soft organs and those introspective, luscious vocals.

Flip it over and you're treated to two interpretations of 'Another Dimension'. First up fellow Bristol bass badboy, Hodge, serves up a signature remix, chopping the vocals and layering them behind a pounding kick and machine gun percussion to give that bass heavy flavour he's become so well known for. Deadbeat steps up to close out the e.p. with a heavyweight techno rework of the original, complete with hypnotic bleeps, phased hats, and intermittent sub bass goodness, all tied together with a driving kick to give a real industrial feel to the remix.

This is the new Affkt album 'Son of A Thousand Sounds' on Sincopat. It includes collaborations with Upercent, Piek and Sutja Gutierrez.

Koett & Wellbeck are back with their second release for Pro-Tez Records. "Untitled 9" is a proper skilled brilliant low-slung house composition. With remixes from Anton Kubikov and XDB, two veterans lay down a lush house groove that's just begging to be played on the dance floor. XDB's version with sweetly offset dub chords takes us into a club mist of fizzing electronics for a full submerged dub house experience. It is a vinyl only, heavyweight 180 grams pressing, limited to 300 copies.

Not only is this Recycle's full-length release,
but so too is it Italian producer Luca Ferrari's first foray into the album format.

There's plenty of stories and emotions in the basslines, samples and synths:
Luca chews up deep house, minimal, techno, breaks and classical music into a personal and unique sound.
An exceptional talent undiscovered by most.

Moon Harbour is delighted to announce the Autumn 2016 release of Momentum, the second full length album
from label boss Matthias Tanzmann. Arriving eight years after his debut LP Restless, the outstanding follow-up
impressively demonstrates that his artistic restlessness has not been decreasing over the last couple of years.
On the contrary, Momentum undoubtedly proves once more that Matthias' impact on the scene is still steadily
growing with an end not in sight and that his efforts to advance are ever moving forward.
Recent times have found Matthias having huge success via fruitful collaborations with the likes of Martin
Buttrich, Davide Squillace and Daniel Stefanik, amongst others, but now back on his own and more energetic
than ever, he is firing on all cylinders as a solo artist. Loosely rooted in a variety of house styles, Momentum
shows a subtle return to some of Tanzmann's earliest musical roots. Just as Matthias declares himself, It is stuff
to listen to at home, stuff I like to listen to away from the club', before adding that, of course, it also contains
tracks that are 100% what I love playing in my DJ sets.'
The ten track release is an impulsive and emotionally moving affair that offers a fantastic snapshot into the
current musical mind of the artist. With a process initially starting during his times abroad in Thailand and South
America, this most coherent and complete album has been slowly coming together over the last five years. In
customary manner, the album is quite different to a normal EP from the German producer, given that it features
plenty of deeper and more cerebral moments than most of his past works.
With a perfect mixture between listening pleasure and pure dancefloor material, Momentum contains tracks
ranging from deep and broody house style with warm pads streaming over infectious drums to serene and
atmospheric jams with real funk in their bones. Next to more downtempo sultry house vibes, the harder, more
freaky tunes will get floors bumping with their punchy drums, wiggling synths, drilling bass and loopy vocal
sounds. With more soul infused party grooves rounding up the experience, the release truly brings along the
whole range of carefully plotted ups and downs necessary for casting the listener under a hypnotic and heartfelt
spell of house music.

The album will be celebrated with a worldwide release tour from October to December 2016, highlighting once
more that only a few have the exact same sense of electronic music artistry as this man does.

Copenhagen's Echocord Colour returns this August with Stephen Brown's 'Power Factor' EP, featuring three originals from the UK Techno stalwart.
Scottish producer Stephen Brown is a name synonymous with Techno across the globe having been releasing material since the mid nineties on imprints such as Derrick May's Transmat, Subject Detroit, Skudge Records, Ben Sims' Theory and Holland's Djax Up Beats amongst many more.
Here we see Brown join the roster of Echocord's sub-label Colour, slotting him in alongside the likes of Mike Dehnert, Nick Ho¨ppner, Luke Hess and Deadbeat in the back- catalogue.
Up first on the release is 'Sandtext', a stripped-back dubbed out opening cut fuelled by a robust kick and minute percussive hits running alongside a sturdy sub bass drive and spiralling dub stabs before 'Wet' takes things even deeper via muted kicks, shuffling shakers and delayed synth chords. 'Back Stroke' then rounds out the release with an amalgamation of airy reverberated stab hits, rumbling low end pulsations and a thunderous kick drum to once again create an understated, hypnotic composition.
