Roland Tings is Melbourne's jack-track anomaly with a penchant for acid coastlines and nebulous rhythms. Still fresh off 12 releases for 100% SILK and Club Mod, the Melbourne producer dropped the stunning 'Who U Love' EP with us last spring, to critical acclaimand in anticipation for his debut whoch is finally here now. and what we are truly excited to present. Forged by Melbourne's forward-thinking nightlife institutions, Tings made his debut with the Milky Way EP on 100% SILK - the enigmatic dance imprint founded by Not Not Fun's Amanda Brown. Having laid the groundwork of a raw-satin aesthetic inspired by that of Larry Heard and Robert Hood, his sound was solidified on the Club Mod-released follow up Tomita's Basement, featuring remixes from Future Times' Maxmillion Dunbar and Junior Boys' Jeremy Greenspan. Functioning as club-ready oddities with neon finesse, his releases thrive as rhythmic visions pushing dancers into his very own modular oasis. Having toured across much of Australia and Europe, he's backed up headline club shows with appearances at MONA FOMA and The Meredith Music Festival as well as support slots for the likes of of Tim Sweeney and Juan Atkins for Modular's Sydney Festival showcase. Now riding with a tight community of Australian producers enjoying recognition around the world, Roland Tings' custom texture continues to fold into a vibrant late-night fabric accessed around the world and you will see this reflected by the goodness and versatility of the 10 tracks on this CD.

Anomaly, Fred P's techno alter ego drops a hot bomb. As a producer renowned for melodic, ultra-deep house, it's no surprise that his techno is as deep as a well. 3 tracks.

Strut return to the archives of seminal Chicago house label Dance Mania in January 2015 for 'Dance Mania: Ghetto Madness'. The follow-up to Strut's acclaimed Dance Mania label retrospective 'Hardcore Traxx' from early 2014, this new instalment places the spotlight on the raw, stripped back, hyper bpms of ghetto house and the rise of the movement's fresh generation of stars during the mid'90s including DJ Deeon, DJ Funk, Jammin' Gerald and DJ Milton.

The album tells the story of the evolution of Chicago's sound during the era as mix tapes circulated through local stores and DJs developed their own underground following, playing local parties in the projects. Crowds began responding to faster bpms and gangsta rap-inspired X-rated lyrics. As DJ Deeon remembers, 'it bridged the gap. It made it OK for guys in the ghetto to like house again and it brought the women onto the dancefloor too.' Dance Mania was perfectly positioned to capitalise on the new sound - many of the DJs came regularly into Ray Barney's record store and, as Chicago's most trusted and respected label owner, he was offered the best tracks for commercial release at an early stage.

'Ghetto Madness' brings together some of the underground classics and enduring favourites that earned Dance Mania the title of 'Ghetto House's Motown'. Tracks include DJ Deeon's party-starter 'The Freaks', raw DJ Funk cut 'Computer Sex' and Nina Kraviz favourite, Paul Johnson's 'Give Me Ecstacy'. Other featured gems from the archive include the dark early Steve Poindexter outing 'Computer Madness' and Tyree's in-demand jam, 'Nuthin' Wrong'.

'Dance Mania: Ghetto Madness' will be released in 1CD unmixed, 2LP and digital formats. Physical formats are fully illustrated in raw ghetto style by James Wilson and also feature CD a fold-out poster featuring an exclusive James Wilson illustration featuring the Dance Mania DJs as tattoos!

Back from a brief hiatus from solo output, Lee Curtiss follows up the masterfully naughty 'Lunatic Fringe' EP with another heavy dose of dancefloor debauchery for own imprint Visionquest. Showcasing his undeniable flair for libidinous club music with a hint of the unusual, Lee takes time out from producing his upcoming album to deliver two killer originals for 'The Ride EP'. A­-side 'Drink Tickets' is a suitably dusky and contorted trip with a growling modulated bassline, pseudo-sinister vocal and kinetic groove while B­-side 'Dancing Girls', a collaboration with his Chicago partner in crime, Nick Bassett ­ is a simmering hypnotic summertime affair with a filtered 90s feel and dirty funk bassline combined with sonically sophisticated detail.

A veteran of the electronic music scene, Lee Curtiss has successfully straddled the industry's many contradictions, releasing hits as exquisitely crafted and mentally twisted as they are in global demand. As a founding father of Visionquest's forward thinking outfit and label and a DJ renowned for mining the depths of dance music's history at establishments such as DC10 and fabric, Lee Curtiss is a true eccentric and innovator guaranteed to deliver a sonic melting pot of humour, sex and funk.

Initially making his mark as a producer with releases on Spectral, Get Physical, Supplement Facts, and Wolf & Lamb, two of Lee's biggest hits, the Visionquest remix of 'Good Voodoo' remix and 'Smoking Mirrors' were in RA's top tracks of 2011 and out of the techno realm, Lee's remixed the likes of Tracey Thorne and David Lynch. Since then there have been massive releases on Culprit (Candy EP feat. Matt Tolfrey) and of course with the 'Lunatic Fringe EP' on Visionquest.

Nick Bassett is a true gentleman helping to shape the new chapter of Chicago's long history of dance music, a spokesperson for the futuristic sounds of modern deep house, and a devoted student of electronic music's past. Nick grew up in the academic cornfields of Urbana, Illinois, with extended visits to a village in West Africa. He's lived the last seven years as a proper Chicagoan in the Windy City. Nick's life has been influenced as much by art and design as it has by the explosion and reinvention of new house music and digging for classic 90s vinyls. Nick's music selection has been described as 'elegant yet understated...dripping with passion, sweat, and creativity.' Bringing these qualities to his music production promises to catapult his career another great step forward.

"What $ Love" is one of Romanthony's rarest songs. The original house mixes - only ever released on the fleeting US imprint Vinylmania - is one of his most sought after pieces of vinyl with pristine copies selling for upwards of £100. Roman did make an R&B version on his Glasgow Underground album but the house mixes with their low-slung dubby organ & bass grooves are the real dj deal.

The classic cut from the Vinylmania 12" (Roman's Remix) is included here, as are three new mixes from Supernova, Christian Nielsen and Those Beats.

Christian Nielsen delivers possibly the most club-friendly mix on the package, taking Roman's vocals on a tough, percussive, jacked-up house groove. Supernova add a touch of hypnotic beauty choosing to sample of Roman's voice and layering them over a sublime groove. Lastly, Glasgow's finest Those Beats add a touch of jazz giving this classic track the kind of workout you'd expect from someone like Pal Joey or the Rednail Kidz.

The house leaning off shoot of Fachwerk Records hits release number three here with a two track release from Reno Wurzbacher, the 'housemate cousin' of the crew who has already turned up on the label a couple of times. First up is the coy melancholia and pillow-y deep house of 'The Love You Got'. It's a grainy cut with grey scale textures and sultry voices contained with in the sparse groove. It strikes a nice late night mood before German master of the deep Sven Weisemann turns in his own remix. This version is more upright and weighty, with bulbous synth lines dropping into the mix, which is already awash with rippling pad puddles. Early in the evening, late in the night, either way both tracks here hit their intended mark perfectly....

Harbour City 2014. Sometimes people from different environmental backgrounds cross paths with one another through similar interests, and they notice that they have more in common then a certain taste in music alone. Boris Bunnik (aka Conforce) is hailing from the small scenic Dutch island Terschelling, that can be seen as the complete opposite environmental background as the dirty streets of Rotterdam's South Side that drew the first guidelines for Frustrated Funk's watchword: Mad Drama From Everyday Life. Although the background is opposite, the drama and struggle of daily life seem to have more similarities then one would expect. Struggling creative minds searching for correct paths, fighting to keep focused with daily routines, burning ships, moving forward, trying to bend negativity into something positive, writing music as an outlet for their compulsive need to create. This is our game. No hits, no hype, no bullshit, just the real deal, bringing timeless techno from the heart that will always stay untouched. So here's FR029, experimental techno from the young master mind that's Versalife. Small batch on crystal clear green mixed vinyl. Check!

A series of raw house tracks engineered for heavy DJ use. Three tight tracks inspired by 90s NY house music. Underground!

Pink Skull is one of those delightfully weird and innovative under-the-radar acts that you'll wish you'd stumbled across far sooner. Beginning in 2004, based around the musical pairing of Julian Grefe and Justin Geller, Pink Skull has done its fair share of morphing over the years, working its way through experimental tech minimalism early on, becoming a five-piece live band playing electronic psyche-rock and alt. hip hop (racking up a collaboration with Wu-Tang's Ghostface Killah), and recently taming their multicoloured dance spectre into 303-hugging electronica and solid trip-techno, nailed on their 'Skin Game' and 'Braindance' EPs.

It's this latest Pink Skull incarnation that shines through in the group's bubbling, acidic mix for Clash, with electronica royalty like Aphex, 808 State and The Black Dog sitting alongside newer 303 warriors like SFV Acid (from ace Brooklyn label UNO) and Jared Wilson, putting in a fine, spooky and spiky take on Detroit techno. It's a cracking little selection, clearly chosen by a few informed musical minds.

Compilation of current Amsterdam house music featuring 12 exclusive tracks from Amsterdam based (or born) producers like Awanto3, San Proper, Tom Trago, Boris Werner and more.
If you want to get a piece of some top-notch, upfront action from the underground culture of Amsterdam, this compilation gives you a front row seat. The 12 exclusive tracks that together make up for this compilation take you straight to the heart of what's bubbling in the nightlife of Mokum town.

UK producer Mr. G is set to release a new EP on Don't Be Afraid later this month. 'The Tutonic' EP, made up of three tracks, will arrive on May 9th, becoming the imprint's third addition to its Special Editions series. It won't be the first time he appears on the label, having remixed label boss Semtek's 'Bells' in 2010, and follows the techno producer's mammoth 'Retrospective' album on Rekids last year

A diverse and damaging three track EP from Bone, exploring and exhibiting Detroit Techno musically, figuratively and spiritually.
A1. Here To Stay (Won't Fade Away)
A nod to Detroit as an ever-present - a marker by which others are measured, Bone's first track on The Detroit EP, Here To Stay (Won't Fade Away) makes a statement
above and beyond just being a fine example the music it refers to. The sumptuous melody that opens the track is accompanied by a substantial yet soft, almost warm, kick, a combination that somehow provides an atmosphere and depth way beyond merely the of the sum of its parts. More rolling percussion and drums are crisply ushered in before the Here To Stay (Won't Fade Away) vocal begins looping over the composition. Linear, straight up loops, grooves and rhythm give a consistent sense of railroad-esque motion atop of an ever-present vein of lush synth and melody. A track that is certainly hereto stay. A2. Detroit Is ... Soul With more of an emotional focus than symbolic this time, it's clear this one is from Bone's heart. Detroit Is ... Soul, ducks and weaves in the grey area between house and techno; the initial percussion that is brushed over the kick giving more of a house
swing than a techno groove. The on/off, cut-and-dry synth chords contrast with the looser fluidity in Here To Stay (Won't Fade Away), and gives a real sense of intent and desire. The real focal point however is the profound vocal that comes swirling over the top, "Detroit is what I love, Detroit is what I need, Detroit is where I'm from, Detroit's the air I breathe" No explanation necessary. B. Detroit Is ... Hard
Bone rounds off part 1 of his Detroit EP with aplomb. Where the previous two tracks have drawn on the emotional and symbolic significance of Detroit as a place and as an ideal, Detroit Is ... Hard, cuts straight to the chase. Utilizing the same vocal
sample as Detroit Is ... Soul, Bone feeds things through the grinder and comes out with a late night dancefloor destroyer that blends Millsian fury and Red Planet mystique with the archetypal Subject Detroit aesthetic. Chaotic arpeggiated melody, indignant claps and breakneck drums and percussion are the chosen company for Bone's words on this flipside to Detroit Is ... Soul. Detroit is ... Hard, undoubtedly to become a mainstay for
sweaty after-hours affairs the world over

First volume of house tracks picked from the Velocet catalogue, Nail's previous label, which he ran very badly between 1995 and 1997. Most of the unsold, OG copies now lay in his ex-wife's cellar, covered in mushrooms.
300 on clear vinyl, no repress.

Love or hate his infamous 'Twitter beefs' there is no denying the legendary status of this house music vanguard. With 20+ years of DJing and producing under his belt, this is DJ Sneak's first release on Exploited: A collaboration with Murk (Oscar G and Ralph Falcon). Back in 2003 Murk released 'Dark Beat' - a track that topped the Billboard Dance charts and became the underground smash of the year.
A few months ago we asked Sneak for a remix by mail but we didn't get a reply. After 4 months he suddenly popped up in our mailbox, apologized and said that he finally had some studio time. In the end he sent through some tracks to see if we like them. The rest is history as you're probably listening to one of the tracks right now. This quirky and funky house track (a 10 minute journey) is only the tip of the ice berg though. Expect 2 Releases from Sneak on Exploited

There s only one thing that matches a new My Love Is Underground 12 - a remastered pressing of one of the label s certified hits! Paris Underground Trax Volume 1 was one of the records that catapulted the French label into the spotlight - at the time produced anonymously, it later emerged that Mr Brawther was the man behind the four retro house cuts. It s a wonderful homage to the deeper strains of 90s New Jersey, NYC Underground and Sexy Thing Remix still smack of Kerri Chandler at his most bumping, with fat pads, sultry vocals and gritty basslines. The B-Side features uptempo gem Hardcore Deep House , while GTFO! glides along with warm, embracing chords. If you missed out first time round, don t make the same mistake again.

Two 12's have landed and magic number three is on the way! The A side got fixed by the legendary chaps of Duplex. They've been coming along since the first waves of house and techno and gave proof of this with their contribution 'Population Density'. A true grooving body banger indeed. On the flip we find Tuff Sherm's 10 min excursion holding beastly percussions and melomanic fatness. This mayne is situated on the other side of the planet, he has been popping by on TTT & Berceuse Heroique, and is amongst Midlight's ranks this time..

Black Venison's début release, the 'Benz EP', recorded by newcomer 'Vrrs'. The EP consists of three tracks that straddle the blurred lines of techno and house. The tracks were produced using an eclectic set of samplers, synthesizers and drum machine

NDATL continues with future talent Stefan Ringer aka REKchampa. After a chance meeting he submitted "The Fix" and the rest is the present! Featured at last year's NDATL's annual DeepDetroit party "The Fix" was a highlight. The unique chord structure & shuffling drums keep the crowd enthralled until the break that will make you remember "The Fix". Stefan's diversity is further shown in the quirky downtempo duet with vocalist Afua. The flip features the sexy aggressiveness of "Meagangood" inspired by the beauty of the same name. "MYM" debuted on Kai Alcé's seminal Boiler Room set in London. This midtempo let's u know by the end of the groove you'll be his. "Transitions" wraps up this eclectic EP with sleazy cords & Quasimoto styled vocals and just enough bump! Pick this up as this is future classic!

Over the last few months, the main focus in the Rekids camp has been on Nina Kraviz and the remixing of her 2012 debut LP. Now it's time for a change, and it's head honcho Radio Slave's turn to get in on the remix action, with his 2008 hit 'Tantakatan' getting a fresh makeover in the shape of Mr. G's 'Nightwatch Dub' and Prins Thomas' 'Diskomiks'.
On the former, Mr. G powers up his MPC and delivers that signature analogue beat-driven sound, tweaking the parts and including extra ideas to truly make the track his own. Cranking up the tempo ever so slightly, Mr. G takes the track into darker territory and adds a sinister rumbling bass line with more than enough low-end energy to make your guts shake. Like all of Mr. G's best tracks, his 'Nightwatch Dub' builds gradually, while never losing that trademark Mr. G groove. This one is going to set techno dance-floors alight.
On his 'Diskomiks', the prince of Norwegian 'space-disco' Prins Thomas opts for a more organic approach, re-creating the unmistakeable chord stabs of the original on an acoustic piano and utilising a traditional drum kit for that loose, laid-back groove that could only come from a live drummer. His track shimmers with white noise and reverb throughout, before treating us to a delightfully staccato synth bass that typifies the Scandinavian disco sound. Fans of his musical output won't be disappointed.
Here we have two supremely talented artists tackling the same task from different perspectives, showing that a simple, strong idea can go in one of many directions, and allowing us to indulge our love for techno and disco at the same time!

Deep 8 unleash the remixes of Andi Rivera Feat Robert Owens 'To Be' Featuring fantastic remixes from man of the momemt Pezzner, A Lister, James Johnston & TaMe....

Robert Hood knüpft mit "Motor/Nighttime World Vol.3" an die beiden Vorgängerausgaben 1995 auf Cheap (Vol.1) und 2000 auf M-Plant (Vol.2) an. Im dritten Teil fusioniert er seinen klassischen Minimal Techno mit verspielten Jazz-Stimmungen und schattigen Downbeat-Atmosphären. Inspiriert wurde Hood diesmal von Julien Temples BBC-Dokumentation "Requiem For Detroit" (2010) über den Niedergang der Geburtsstadts des Techno, die einst die viertgrösste Stadt Amerikas war und als blühendes Industrie- und Wirtschaftszentrum 'Motor City' den amerikanischen Traum verkörperte. Das Album erscheint als CD im Hochglanz-Digipak und als luxuriöse 3LP im Hochglanzcover mit unterschiedlich bedruckten Innenhüllen, 180g Vinyl.

Re issue of Romanthony's incredibly rare 'Warning Tracks' on Black Male from 1999.

Re mastered for 2014 and released in original artwork. Re issued in conjunction with the rights holders.

The Godzilla Kebab label was started in 2012 by Sames, is based in Saint-Petersburg, Russia and now serves up its 6th EP, a four track affair that calls on various artists from across the world. Quintessentials associate Andy Ash, label boss Sames, Sam Williams (aka Chamboché) and Sam Halsall (Elevator) come together as Ampers& and finally Replika are the names who turn in one tune each with the results making for fresh house listening. 'Bad Cat' is the first jam and it comes from Sames.
With a prowling, gnarly bassline, the thing creeps along with raw analogue lines and whacked out drums setting the mood. Eventually some tooting horn stabs and ping ponging kick drums come in to liven things up and boy do they do that. The recently formed Ampers& duo hail from London and have had some fine releases to date as solo acts.
Together they are an even stronger force and their 'Play On' track is a well crafted bit of house with squelchy melody phrases, light as air percussion and nimble drums - you feel as though you are floating on a groove rather than being rooted to planet earth and the overall effect is refreshing indeed. Andy Ash is a well-travelled UK house talent with plenty of releases on a wide range of labels.
It's 'Rothfield' that he turns in here, and in the process shows once more why he is so highly rated. His no nonsense house kicker has muddled beats and bass offset with crisp, emotive synth smears, it's a jazzy, colourful bit of propulsive house music that will make floors bounce as one.
Replika rounds out the EP with the aptly titled 'Keep It Down' which is slower and wallows more in its own forlorn sense of late night romance. The chords are heartfelt, the odd vocal sounds tug at the heart and it's a fine way to close things down. This is a more than handy house EP that offers four equally enjoyable but stylistically varied tracks....

After having successfully introduced their new limited serie, the Im in Love crew steps up with their next numbered and silk screen printed release. Limitation to 50 vinyls only! The two tracks come from - Get Serious', a musical project created by Francesco Vacca, Stefano Cibabene and Michele Quagliati in 2010. The three Italians first started making music in Genoa in 2006, later they managed to get a residency in Bologna until they moved to Berlin in 2010.Their vision of strong detroit and dub influenced techno perfectly fits to the labels work as these tracks do: On the A-Side we have some analogue drum madness combined with melodic strings and beautiful fast dub chords. Surely that is a late night club banger! The B-Side comes with a heavy kick, some cool hi-hats and a deep detroitish atmosphere, created to make you fade away!
