After appearances on Werkstoff and Kammer Musik Neal White is back home on Eintakt Records with a quite playful while straight ahead thinking 12 inch. We start off deep underwater with the title track, a melancholic dubtechno drifter with a touch of pop called Goldfish. Enjoyable pianos, a rainy atmosphere, some classic chords and that tasty voice by Klavinora make that track a proper name giver. After that wet A-side we come up afloat facing the Livefish Remix from Rhauder (famous artist on the great label Ornaments) on the other vinyl side, a reduced (even a bit) stoic floor operator, driving us through the confusions of the autumn sea. Coming ashore and meeting Queen Ema is peaceable after all that. Conciliating with the world and weather while getting surrounded by warm pads, curly effects and again the piano hints played by Klavinora

As a follow up to Tyson Ballard's Feel Like I Feel EP Voyeurhythm proudly present remixes from two modern day legends John Daly and Legowelt. John starting things off with a well rounded dancefloor tool the VR team have been rinsing this mix over the summer to great effect and Daly makes most use of the rhodes building up to all the fist pumping action you would expect from such a stellar producer. Legowelt's take on the record heads towards drowned out tape machines, lead lines from the self confessed synth head, simple but complex at the same time are all what we expect from this legend, honoured to put them out on the medium they deserve - strictly limited small batch run.

Trikk follows up last year's debut release on
ManMakeMusic with a second offering of
shimmering bass heavy house music aimed
squarely at the dance floor. The EP itself has
already been getting some heavy rotation from
ManMake label boss George FitzGerald, appearing
on his recent Boiler Room and Radio One Essential
mixes. On Basement Traxx we see the darker side
of Trikk's musical personality as he gives us a
stuttering techno drum workout with demented pads
and ominous stabs. Rounded is trademark Trikk
featuring rolling subbass alongside drifting chords
and swinging drums. Lando (formerly Lando Kal)
completes the EP with a guttural techno rework of
the Aside rounding off a stellar dancefloor centric
release from the ManMakeMusic camp....

The track 'Wander Of Base' will be exclusive to the vinyl release of Soweso 20.
We kick off 2015 with Efde's debut EP for Soweso! After delivering a killer remix for Samuel Dan's 'Shake It' release back in 2011, it's time for Efde to take the spotlight. Efde has been captivating us with his compelling dj sets and exquisite selection at places like Trouw and our Soweso label nights. With his 'Move On EP' this all comes together in a a unique blend of jacking house fuelled with warm pads and techno rhythms. Four tracks that are drenched in Detroit nostalgia, but with a very contemporary vibe and an irresistible groove. The title track has been remixed by the amazing Trus'me. The Prime Numbers head honcho has been making waves in the international techno scene over the last decade with hits like 'Somebody' and his recent album 'Treat Me Right". The remix he did for Efde is no exception; the 'Thrust Mix' is a dark and eerie banger that will leave its marks on the dance floors. Don't sleep on this one!

Dixon Avenue Basement Jams returns with a late-summer BOMB tried & tested in the field with exemplary results. If you've managed to catch the DABJ DJ duo at one of their many outings in Continental Europe, as well as Jackmaster, Optimo and many others this summer, then this will surely be a welcome ID for the many of you who thought: "what the fuck is this!". "Sulta Selects Vol. 1" is the opening gambit of Denis Sulta, pseudonym of a long-time collaborator here at Rubadub, working fearlessly in his studio under the cover of darkness up until now. Sulta's three-track offering serves up masterful edits tied together with his impeccable production work. On the A is "A.A.S (Night & Day Mix)", the track on everyone's lips and undoubtedly set to be one of the tunes of this year. And we don't band that kind of praise around lightly: this is genuinely HUGE. "A.A.L.A.S" kicks the B side off with a majestic filtered and chopped soul cut, and "Saturday Night" finally finishes off the parade with a blazing disco edit hand-built for post-Witching Hour workouts. This whole affair is pure club damage, destined to rock faders from the fjords to the floorboards.

Once again, this release is shipping with a limited print of Dan Axons art. This print is titled "Reggie" after the dog in the DABJ logo.

First release of Cologne newcomers Aroma Pitch with decent Tech-House for the dancefloor.

After the 'We Make Music' vinyl trilogy release in 2013 House Is OK men are back and ready to kick it. They took their time polishing this new black piece of gem you'll be holding in your hands and after a period of careful track selecting, dedicated A&R work and multiple mastering sessions they proudly present the first, full EP on the label! Janis got the honors of being the first of the bunch to claim it! Named after his moms' favorite singer Janis, a full time musician, is either working on jingles for MTV European Music Awards, or making music for high-budget commercials and German art films, or spending his time constructing highly infectious House grooves. (Busy bee this one.) His latest EP for Tensnake's Mirau got strong reactions from the international House community including legends such as Mousse T, who couldn't resists its magical moods and atmosphere. On the 'Parental Advisory House' EP Janis got to demonstrate his vide range of talents. Driven by heavy bass line and filled with a funky chord sequence lead track will easily be implemented in your brain with the freaky vocal singing about a girl that just can't stop dancing. Kids will need Parental Advisory before listening to this, as they'll probably be infected with the same catchy virus called movement, spreading from this tune. It's infectious we tell you! Adults are in danger of being contaminated as well. And let it be known that you've been warned! With 'Fitzefu Pumpkin' Janis breaks the groove in a massive 2-step pumper. Good vibes come up instantly from tracks first few bars as it keeps putting that beautiful, subtle smile on your face until it gets to its last beat. Flip takes off with 'Ensoniq Youth".

DJ SUPPORT

Early support from Laura Jones, M.in, Plasmik, Xpress 2, Huxley, Jordan Peak, Bass Culture, The Timewriter, Agnes, Seelie, Moodtrap, Claire Ripley, Raymundo Rodriguez and more....

Compound Trax Vol. 1 MD is the first from our "Trax" releases and its a split EP between Ernie (Minuendo Recordings, Deep Explorer) and Jorge Caiado (Balance, Groovement).

Next up on the Wicked Bass label is newly emergent Detroit talent Manuel Gonzales, aka MGUN. This is a three track EP from the man who has previously appeared on labels such as The Trilogy Tapes and Wild Oats that is aptly titled and that showcases his raw style perfectly. Opener 'Mono Port' is a sludgy, dirty track with scuzzy ambiance, grainy white noise and plenty of grit obscuring buried deep kick drums and raw synth patterns. Second track 'Frosted Lakes' is a just as knackered sounding bit of whacked out techno. Broken kick drums trudge below spiralling synths, static interference and the general imperfect buzz and hum of analogue gear and it builds into a loopy banger that will blow minds as well as speakers. Last is 'Chip Implemented', another dystopian bit of depraved sounding techno with groaning synths, hurried drums and plenty of stormy winds blowing across its face. This is hugely textured, darkly cerebral music that manages to be minimal in design yet maximal in impact from start to finish.

National Geordie treasure Richy Ahmed is undoubtedly an original brother and integral cog in the Hot Creations machine and since his emergence alongside the crew and subsequent blowing up of the scene, Richy has become one of the most sought after and hard-working DJs on the circuit. Now honing his production skills to a fine point, it's no surprise he's been showcasing on the label, with last years 'The Drums' smashing through on all fronts. Richy is now bestowed with the honour of helming the pinnacle 50th release for the ever-ubiquitous label. Lead track 'Sneaky Acid' is a bona-fide bomb for the dancefloor in full rave mode, carrying all the classic markings of a funked up acid trip. On the flip, 'The Bells' part 1 & 2 - already championed by Skream on BBC Radio 1 - is a bass driven banger centred on the hypnotic percussive groove.

Richy has always played an integral part in the label, ranging from A&R to residencies at the global Hot Natured and Paradise events. Having since made an impact at some of the world's best clubs and festivals including, Sonar, Tomorrowland, Glastonbury, Bestival, Panorama bar and London institution fabric, Richy has continually proved himself as an unequivocal party starter.

Armed with an individual sound that fuses the energy of house and disco with infectious funk-inspired grooves and a touch of dark, Richy's distinct style has always been championed by heavyweights in the game such as Jamie Jones, Damian Lazarus, Clive Henry and Seth Troxler. 2013's 'The Drums' was Pete Tong's Essential New Tune and gained widespread support among all the Radio 1 tastemakers including Annie Mac, Danny Howard, and Rob Da Bank. As well as a host of massive remixes for the likes of Katy B on Columbia, Phil Kieran on Hot Flush, Michael Janson on Resonance Records, Richy also had a major coup curating the Rinse: 23 compilation to wide critical acclaim, cementing Richy's status in the nu school elite.

Deepness Alert!! Horse 004 by Thorsteinssøn' Amsterdam based producer & live act Thorsteinssøn has joined the horse on horse stable and delivered 4 cosmic house jams. Tip!!

Rogue Society began life as a label in Autumn 2013 with a release from label boss and Bass Culture / One Records / Robsoul artist Jordan Peak featuring remixes from Mike Huckaby and Nikola Gala.
Started by Peak and long-term friend Peter Glasspool, the label is set to feature tracks and releases from the likes of Jay Tripwire, Sam Russo, Dan Curtin And Esteban Adame In it's first year.
Next up on Rogue Society and our first release for 2014 is Argentinian producer Jorge Savoretti (Esperanza, Love Letters From Oslo, Savor) with remixes from the talented John Daly (secretsundaze, Drumpoet Community) and legendary Dan Curtin (Mobilee, Peacefrog) who has provided us a vinyl only remix..

Having closed out 2013 in some style thanks to the inimitable sounds of Hector Couto, Darius Syrossian and Ben Mono, Swiss label Definition: Music picks up where they left off this time around thanks to British duo Origins Sound, who mark their return to the label thanks to the Detroit Cuts EP.
And as you'd imagine from the title, it's abundantly obvious where the influences for this one stem from. Make no mistake, however; this is no flippant, throwaway revival fare, but is instead a series of tracks that celebrate and pay homage to the Motor City's rich musical heritage. The title track illustrates a case in point, with its well-heeled bass timbres and its spiky yet infectious synths leading us down a stuff and stifling path that's laden with sonic nuances and undoubted flair from the first beat to the last.
Middling effort ''Black'' then introduces us to the duo's more introspective side, with its shining, subtle melodies injecting the EP with an almost tangible human warmth. Stuffed full with unsuspecting twists and turns, it showcases the pair's undoubted eclecticism with some panache.
The final twist in the tale is ''Amery'', a track that makes smart use of some lovely samples and a bassline that flirts with peak-time pastures. Trippy but void of novelty and still discerning, it's another track that leads us down a path that's full of hidden crevices and various other nooks and crannies that are worth getting lost in. An extremely auspicious start to the year for both Origins Sound and the Definition crew.

Greek producer laces up 4 tracks that combine textures, pads, rhythms, & arrangements that to feel deep within your belly button. The term House has undergone many changes, but always music that resonates with a listener's soul.

Deetron presents the third instalment from his Character label, melding the aesthetics of rave, the drive of techno and the swing of house.

The Believer is a direct homage to the classic sound of Detroit and Chicago, a testament to when these world beating genres fuse and collide in a tuff jam, full of swing, clout and hard groove. The track takes a skippy approach to the dance-floor, using a fluctuating melodic noise between staunch and punchy beats and double hand claps percussion on the break before hollowed out, bass timbres pulse as the track forms in different poly-rhythmic directions.

Following a lush dub version of The Believer, Deetron teams up with friend and some-time production partner Sebastian Kramer on closing number Dexterity - a trait that's actually become synonymous with Samuel's work over the years. Pitching up the tempo and pushing the beats with more vigour, he steps back from the bounce and major tonal chord hooks of the title track for a Berghain suited minimal romp, while unnerving basslines and synth arpeggios lay subdued behind frantic and hypnotic fare.

Dakini9, co-boss of Plan B Recordings and Sound Warrior Recordings, launches her first solo vinyl 12' EP on Jersey City's Green Village label. In keeping with her previous releases, Dakini9's work is always emotional and cinematic, and here we find her stretching out into tougher beats and speedier tempos. Made for the dance floor, this EP includes a DJ Spider remix on the B side.

Berlin's new hottest residents Eric Volta & Sebastian Voigt team up once again, this time bringing their infectiously deep and dark edge onto the Visionquest imprint. With intoxicating dreamy synths, title track 'Words And Chance' opens up into real groover with the seductively haunting lyrics from rising artist Forrest adding a new dimension. On the flip one quarter of the Visionquest power force Lee Curtiss takes the reins to deliver a chugging dancefloor ready remix with effective play on the vocal. Eric Volta then goes solo with 'One Last More' riding out through rolling percussion with beautiful textures.

Having both spent time in London Eric Volta & Sebastian Voigt have a shared connection to the infamous Lo*kee Sunday parties, with Sebastian being a co-founder and Eric a resident from 2011. The pair also released the hugely successful '42 Weeks' on My Favourite Robot.

Really making his way, Eric made his debut on Claude Von Stroke's Dirtybird Records and has since released and remixed on labels such as My Favorite Robot, Ellum Audio, Nurvous Records and Exploited Records. DJing from the age of 15, Sebastian is now a regular at the likes of fabric, Space in Ibiza and many clubs in his hometown Berlin, such as Tresor, Katerholzig and Weekend Club.Up and coming Forrest, co-founder of Amadeus Records, is one to keep an eye on. Having recently had his first vinyl release on Play It Down, he also has an album on the way on Louie Fresco's Mexa Records.

First class DJ, producer and live artist, Lee Curtiss has been busy playing all over the world both solo and alongside his Visionquest boys. Catch them this year on their Visionquest Thirteen tour playing 13 special dates at 13 amazing venues. It's definitely a show not to miss!

Snuff Crew are on board for the new What Ever Not 12 featuring also a stunning remix by Morning Factory. Cool jack has been here!

Eclectic Avenue welcomes the inimitable Lil' Mark, one of the true stalwarts of the UK house scene & regular contributor to some of the finest imprints worldwide.
Here Mark expertly shows his unique knack for genre-straddling.
Kicking off with "Pulling Strings" more familiar Lil' Mark territory, with his trademark tight-as-hell percussion & firing bass sat below a freaked-out twisting riff.
Seriously, this bad-boy takes no prisoners....other than the ones on the dancefloor....
On the flipside we're treated to "Memoirs", a beautifully sumptous lo-slung roller, utilising a vox refrain over the top of a glorious rolling bass groove; like being comforted by a welcoming acid-bass-hug, this is truly something special. Nestled inbetween Mark's original cuts is E.A.R. main-man J.Cub, who offers up an alternate interpretation of "Memoirs"l. Taking the vox refrain & weaving it throughout the track like an instrument, J.Cub nudges the tempo up slightly & adds a solid percussive backdrop & a reworked bass groove, creating a cut which is deep enough to warm the crowd but packs a solid punch at the same time

Glasgow based MermaidS have been quietly making waves since 2011 with an infectious blend of choppy edit-style punchers and slow morphing body music.
The duo have already had releases on their own eponymous imprint as well as Nonlocal out of Canada, but made their biggest splash on Ali Ooft's recent FOTO Recordings' sampler EP Four's A Crowd.
Their contribution 'Run With The Night' easily stole the show on the release and made its way into many well respected record bags including Roberto Rodriguez, Ben La Desh, Andy Ash, Martin Hayes of Rose Records and the always on point Sleazy Beats gents.

The tides are steadily turning in their favour and have carried them to Young Adults for their finest material yet.

The Handsome Stranger EP kicks off with 'Cherry Cola', a looped-up thumper that builds on perfectly paced vocal refrains until it crescendos and blasts an unforgettable horn all the way home.

'Signal' revs up gradually and gains momentum with ease, displaying MermaidS' keen ability to chug with the best of em.

Flip over to the B and 'Chateau Mermont' thrusts full bore into choppy waters, cranking up the heavy heat for heady floor moments. 'Everything But You' rounds out the wax with knuckles to concrete abound - pounding beats and a submerged bouncy bassline.

West End Communications launch their imprint with a super-limited 100 run of Obstrct's Vault EP! Big room stab-heavy techno collides with raw house and the heavier side of the London techno-bass crossover .. A killer debut!

Classic track by Dj Kaos inspired by Manuel Gottsching got a well deserved remix treatment by Quiet Village and Elitechnique! Epic QV remix of 24 minutes thats paying tribute to the early electronix pioneers such as Manuel Gottsching or Brian Eno. A deep trip! Elitechnique turns the original in a sublime piece of trippy disco maddness. Well executed remix with loads of additional instruments crafted with care. Elitechnique is adding so much to the seductive grooves and sounds of the original in their tight arrangement which is slowly building taking the floor to higher levels. If you buy 1 disco record this year, this should be it!!

We're very honoured to welcome the Cologne-based producers HADE + Gutta to the Local Talk family.

Their debut release marks a further development of the Local Talk sound, balancing between house & bass.

The EP kicks off with 'Nothing Wrong', a track built around a bouncy bass riff that lingers and weaves around a clever vocal splicing.

'In Me' continues where 'Nothing Wrong' left off but adds more depth and ingenious stabs, it's a 100% bouncing track for sure.
Ending the EP is HADE's solo number 'Baphome'. A bass fuelled floor packer with nicely interwoven synths and a hypnotic house groove that remains present throughout the track.

in conclusion - A garage-esqe belter with the right amount of wobbly bass to satisfy all your DJ & dance floor needs. .

Ultra Knites continue their fine form and unleash the second installmant of the Knite Grooves series. This time round, Sem Marini is handed the A side while Mike Sharon welcomes vocalist Karina Junker for B side duties. There's no need for us to describe the tracks in words, that's what the player above is for. Into the fourth release on the label and many have begun to describe this label's output as 'perfect', Knite Grooves Vol. 2 is certainly no exception.

It's been Local Talk bosses Mad Mats & Tooli's secret weapon during their DJ sets over the past months and have destroyed clubs from London to Berlin.
With a super catchy chord theme, bumpy 4/4 beats and a slight UK feel this is as bad as it gets. It's just one of those tunes you immediately recognise and can relate with.
Together with a deep journey house remix from AD Bourke and a fierce UK inspired bass/house mix from Colognes HADE we dare to say that this is one the finest releases on Local Talk so far.

 Original Bristol cat Crackazat (now residing in Uppsala, Sweden) got a sound that fuses jazz theories, electronic 4/4s with a deep UK underground mentality. Think Underground Resistance meets Floating Points and your almost there.
Somewhere Else is the second single from Crackazat on Local Talk and in early 2015 he will drop his debut album Crescendo on Local Talk. .

Typically bold and 'playable' gear from this Anne Arbor based machine head. Heavy on the jak, this one. TIP!
"Incredibly this is already D'Marc Cantu's third EP of the year following efforts on new label One Electronica and Ansatz.

Of course, he has released on MOS many times before, including 2012's full length A New World. This new EP, Long Weekend, features three new tracks of fully formed house and techno with more than a touch of acid along the way.

The title track opens the EP with a lively house jam that has proud kick drums, plenty of muffled and deeply buried chords and a busy bassline that darts about like a kangaroo on hot rocks. It's propulsive and emotive as it surges along, taking you with it every step of the way. Next up, '1Lb Of Flesh' is a much more jagged and serrated track, mainly because of the manic acid squiggle that runs right through the heart of the slapping snares and icy cold hi hats. Full throttle and as ever delightfully frayed and analogue sounding, it's a real face melter. Last but by no means least, 'Acid Test' is the quickest of the lot, coming over like a slick, powerful fusion of electro and techno that whips and snaps as Dance Mania style snares flap about above a grilling bassline and acid wiggles in and out. It's a busy, fulsome track but never feels cluttered and rounds out another exceptional EP from both MOS and main man D'Marc Cantu."

YouaND:THEMACHINES is the solo project of Martin who is a part of youANDme. "BEHIND" is his longplayer debut on ORNAMENTS and is a mirror of all his influences from dub techno, ambient, downbeat, Detroit techno and house music. Never before has Martin incorporated his music so much in analog hardware, field recordings and hidden messages. He has invited orchestral musicians to collaborate on the project and one of his main ideas was to use no samples and generate every sound with a range of classic analog instruments using modern techniques of the year 2013 without loosing the old spirit. Guests vocal collaborations from around the world include Robert Owens, Brothers' Vibe, Delhia de France, Keter Darker and Bajka.Each of them adding their unique character to the album indulging the listener into new mystical directions.

Well respected French DJ and producer DJ Deep joins the L.I.E.S. roster with a new three track ep paying homage to the days of old when house and techno were a fresh and exciting music revolution. This ep perfectly balances the sounds and energy of the past and renewed vibrance and resurgance of what's happening now in Paris.
words from the artist:
Back in 1994, I hosted a radio show on FG98.2FM on rue Rebeval in Paris. For us these were the formative days of the radio, our sounds were not accepted by a mainstream audience and this small and rough station (which is now a well established station) gave us a great opportunity and outlet to play the music we loved over the airwaves with no limitations. For us this was a huge deal, to be able to give a voice to the music we loved and present it to a wider audience with an undying passion and enthusiasm that young djs usually have.

Recently I had posted an archive mix from one of the old shows on the internet and Ron had commented on it. Inspired by these sounds and energy from this time period, I went into the studio and composed a group of tracks with this feeling in mind. Thus this project, which I named Rebeval, as that was the street where the radio's first location existed is now born.

HEADPHONIQ continues to provide service by dropping "DANCIN" by RON TRENT. JORDAN FIELDS comes with a seriously hot 1990's groove with "I FEEL LOVED". Then JORDAN re-edits a lost MORGAN ALEXANDER track and to finish up, LEANDRE offers the deep unreleased mix "LIGNE DE MIRE". HOUSE
