Dublin based duo, Dave Hargadon & Phil Long aka Slowburn make their debut on Lunar Disko Records with four machine-driven house and techno jams.

Slow-rising cuts demonstrating precision drum programming, delicate chords and pads, alongside some acute arrangement, make for another outstanding EP from two fast-rising Irish producers.

10" PICTURE DISC
Detroit House legend Terrence Parker debut single -'Finally on Planet E
Features remixes from Carl Craig and Louie Vega.

THIS IS A LIMITED EDITION X 500 PICTURE DISC WITH DIFFERENT REMIXES FROM THE US EDITION

Terrence Parker is a musical multi talent that requires minimal introduction to most. Parker has achieved a discography of abundance, including both original productions and remixes that exceed the century mark. In addition to his production success, Parker travels the world over with his unparalleled turntablist DJ style. He is a true veteran of the underground house scene, both here in Detroit and beyond.

'Finally', features Reno Ka - singer, songwriter and producer. She is known for her eclectic mix of various musical genres including House, R&B and Soul. Reno's alluring lyrics and sweet warble, next-to-your-eardrums vocal delivery is propelled forward by an uplifting foundation of inspired euphoric Jersey barreling keys and shimmering strings. Terrence Parkers formula of atmospheric grooves and funky synth stabs has created timeless anthems that will work on any dance floor.

Louie Vega's reworking brings something different to the original while capturing true effervescence. There's a touch of intimacy in the wobbly keys, even some Yellow Magic Orchestra-style synths in the melody. Vega also works signature Latin percussion and quirky sleigh bells into the mix. A darker more unique sound is developed in this version, all while keeping Reno Ka's beautiful vocals intact.

Carl Craig implements his developed dance driven sound throughout many versions supporting this single. Available on 12' vinyl and Digital.

Includes unmixed disc, plus a mixed disc with four exclusives and a different tracklist.
Having inevitably reached the colour Black the series now enters its tenth year with the same impact with which they began. The music is still first-rate, soulful yet provocative and as you play through the numbers you've got to say there is no sign of filler here. Opening with the Nebraska remix of Salvatore Freda's Luv Can't Hurt you get the sense of history compacted by a contemporary flair that defines the label so easily. And, as you ease into the proceeding Set Me Free by Willie Graff & Tuccillo you know you're in good company. Moving between deeper moments, Tech and Disco and most points in between the selection features the labels releases over the past year, along with some new exclusives that notably finish with Mark Hand's sublime bass-warming Don't Take It All Away. A second CD then sees everything blended neatly together for your extended listening pleasure.

CD2 (Mixed By Jimpster)

After whispering the name "The Jaydes' for a few months, The Dame-Music crew
is proud to finally reveal their first single "Step On Light' on a vinyl only release.
'The Jaydes' are a collaboration between two friends and studio partners Bloody
Mary and Attan. Their first remix of Anaxander "7 Ways' on the last Dame-Music
release was a good introduction to their album, that "Step On Light' is a hint on
what is forthcoming. The album, due in February 2014 will include nine tracks and
some serious featuring artists.

Klasse Recordings is pleased to present KLSUNDERGROUND002, our second fully fledged various artists compilation. Continuing on the tradition from the first in the series, 002 calls on Klasse family members as well as a few extended friends of the label and collates a beautifully put together release.


KLSUNDERGROUND002 takes the series in a decidedly darker direction and none better typifies this than the work of Kris Wadsworth, the young Detroit native brings his A-Game with 'Rules', a swaggering and moody acid-tinged track that ticks all the boxes of his signature style.


Klasse crew members Mr. Ho and Florian Blauensteiner team up on 'Crescendo' and proving two heads are better than one, the Viennese duo turn in a mean and powerful roller of a track. Arpeggiated synths and stuttered grooves provide a sturdy backbone to a track with bucketloads of attitude.


Upcoming UK House producer Dudley Strangeways lends his hand to flawless swinging grooves and DX style bass hits with 'Kudos', a track that restlessly fidgets and mixes vibes with melancholic pads and organ stabs. 'Kudos' is sure to get feet tapping and hands clapping.


Swedish newcomer, Lemieux debuts on Klasse with 'Bass Unit'. This beautiful and haunting track takes its time and builds up a wonderful momentum, gathering speed with fully analog kicks and claps it blossoms into an unforgettable bassline drop.

The two brothers of GEBRÜDER TEICHMANN have been regular guests at the early KILLEKILL events. That's because they have a very similar approach to electronic music as we do. First of all they are deeply in love with the music itself and not the fame, the money or whatever one might expect to get when making music, and second they have a wide musical horizon and interesting perspectives on it, because they are active on several levels, as djs, musicians, promoters etc. First of all though they got class and taste, and so we are happy to present their cooperation with one of our personla heroes and one of the very big names in early house music: JOHNNY DAN- GEROUS aka FOREMOST POETS.
With many Chicago greats, Johnny is One of the inventors of The Deep House Sound through his own blend of future funk & spoken word. In 1990, he released his first underground hit single 'Reasons To Be Dismal' on Nu Groove/SBK Records. A few years later, Johnny dropped the atomic bomb 'Problem 13 (I Beat That *itch With A Bat)' in 1993 and orbited into the Dance Music Hall of Fame. Since then, the name carries great respect in the underground throughout the entire world. When Johnny's striking voice appeared on his release 'Moonraker', he set a new standard for DJs around the world.
Together with Johnny the TEICHMANNs have produced 'TIME'S ALMOST UP!', an acid house anthem that transports well the energy of Johnnys early works: funky, trippy and positive, a dance- floor with a consciousness that's rare nowadays.
LOSOUL, one of Germany's finest house producers, delivers a reduced and even more tripped out version of the original.

* Mastered for vinyl on EMI 1400
* Limited to 1000 copies worldwide
Following Todd Terje's incredible 2012 remix of Roxy Music's 'Love Is The Drug', Bryan Ferry has recruited some of the best producers in the world to remix his 1985 hit 'Don't Stop The Dance'.

Now released by The Vinyl Factory as a series of three super-deluxe limited editions of only 1000 copies each - with bespoke screen printed thick card sleeves housing 180-gram records mastered for vinyl by Noel Summerville at 3345 Mastering and crafted on the EMI 1400 in Hayes, Middlesex.

The track was originally the third single from the number one album Boys & Girls, and featured long-serving guest musicians Nile Rodgers, Marcus Miller, Omar Hakim, Andy Newmark and David Sanborn.

"The recording was done in various studios in London, New York and Nassau, and the whole process took about two years," recalls Bryan Ferry. "I wrote 'Don't Stop The Dance' together with my co-producer and engineer Rhett Davies, and I remember the track originating in some sessions we did at my home studio in England. We finally mixed the record with Bob Clearmountain at The Power Station studios in New York."

Isaac Ferry hand-picked the producers to Re/Make - Re/Model 'Don't Stop The Dance' in various guises, re-enlisting previous collaborators Todd Terje, Eric Duncan and Greg Wilson, alongside Idjut Boys, Sleazy Mcqueen, Space Coast, Punks Jump Up, and two versions from both Psychemagick and Grasshopper aka in-house keyboard programmer Liam Duggan.

"After the successful release of 'Olympia Remixes', we decided that my song 'Don't Stop The Dance' should really be revisited by a new generation of DJs," says Bryan Ferry.

"Since my first solo album in 1973 I've always tried to reinterpret other people's songs in my own way. So it has been good to hear 'Don't Stop Dance' in so many different incarnations. It's fascinating to see how some of the remixes focus on certain aspects of the song, and some on another...they all take the track to a variety of interesting places."

We admit that we took a lenghty summer break, but Curle is back in full force this fall with new stuff from Lucy, Jonas Kopp, Albert Van Abbe and more to be announced soon. And Frank Martiniq of course. He is someone we've been keeping an eye on since his 'Adriano' record in 2002. More recently we enjoyed his releases on Stroboscopic Artefacts and Rotary Cocktail. Amost two years ago he made his Curle debut with 'Golden Dusk', which got remixed by Scott Grooves later on. The three tracks on the new 'Insomniac' EP could be classified as deep techno, but with enough power, groove and melody to set afire a dancefloor. Enjoy!

With remixes by Dan Curtin, Hrdvsion and label head Spencer Drennan. Each remix brings its own unique sound to make a very diverse EP

Ivano Tetelepta returns to duty on FOF after his well received 'True Colours' LP with a veritable potpourri of tracks in collaboration with various cohorts. First up Ivano's collaboration with Steve Siwalette twists and turns with a steppas' beat whilst melodic licks build the track up to it's anthemic break. 'Give Me Something So I Can Dance' w/Alex Jansen roughs things up with a low-slung dirty groove whist Ben Buiendijk injects an acidic flavour into his collaboration before Ivano & Bas Amro delve deeper with the sweetly melancholic tones of 'Manolia'.

The debut LP from Chicagodamn !

It's been pieced together over the course of a year, since the last, superb and limited edition 'Bizarre Sex' 12 on his own label
Since becoming a father to triplets, this incredibly talented producer has, thankfully, managed to make some time for the recording studio too, as the title tells us 'Experiments Must Continue'

Gavin McClary's music lies somewhere between the cavernous, pared down sonic delights of producers like Levon Vincent, and the simplistic yet irresistible classic House on labels like Prescription Underground.
All executed and pieced together with beautifully produced analog textures, an undeniable ear for hooks & a dash of the gritty UK Techno sound synonymous with his production alias.


Whether he's carving up Disco samples or making 4 basic elements do incredible things, his 'sound' is instantly recognisable, and effortlessly effective where it counts.
On 'Experiments Must Continue' he pushes and develops his trademark themes into a striking and cohesive collection of modern warehouse jams.
Moving from expertly overdriven, rowdy pieces like 'Sleep Deprived' and 'Acid Tool', to those ever present, stripped back grooves on the mesmerising 'Strawberries & Kream' & 'Experiments'
And don't get us started on the deadly 'Agitated' as distinctive and powerful a club jam as you're likely to hear all year !

A stunning collection then
Available as a limited Edition (500 copies) Double vinyl package
Housed in shrinkwrapped manilla sleeves, with cover sticker & unique download codes

Local Talk is proud to welcome back Tony Blitz from C.R.S.T. - Remember Monster Munch EP back in January
On the A-side we're treated to two slammin' tracks, Vodka & Valium & Bring It Back are both the perfect mix between UK garage & House.
Studio wizard Crackazat, last heard on our sub-label OneOffs, re-built the track into a melodic, piano driven house version
Local Talk is talking to you!

From the Kid housing on Dopeness Galore..

With 14 international magazine front covers to her name, numerous producer/DJ awards, top 10 places in the Resident Advisor DJ polls in both 2011 & 2012, 30+ countries played in the last 18 months, 10 million You Tube views, 190,000+ Facebook fans, 50,000 twitter followers and over 4 million plays on Soundcloud, Maya Jane Coles rise to fame has been somewhat meteoric. Now Maya presents the debut single 'Everything' from one of the most eagerly awaited debut electronic albums in years "Comfort".

Everything features Scandinavian songstress Karin Park on vocals and co-writing duties. The track has already racked up over 350k plays on Soundcloud and been played listed on national radio in 6 countries, enjoying radio play in over 20. With the track reaching no 2 on the Twitter Hypemachine chart.

The remixes have received great reactions enjoying club support from all corners of the dance world including spins from Seth Troxler, Dixon, Dubfire, Sasha and Scuba through to Rudimental, Disclosure, Atrak, Steve Aoki and Skream.

Maya is well into a busy 2013 touring calendar that has already seen her perform at Coachella, Sonar, Ultra, Fuji Rock, T In The Park and the opening of Ushuaia in Ibiza, with dates at Bestival, Creamfields, Lowlands, Loveland, Pukkelpop, Flow and Ibiza dates with Enter@Space and Hypercolour@Sankeys in Ibiza plus many more to come.

ELCT001 is the first release from Alex Deamonds on his own recently founded label, East London Club Trax. Inspired by sounds and textures from the club and beyond, this 4 tracker begins with the A side, '(Nu Skool) Deep House Sample Pak'. A club cut, carved out of various sample kit's and designed for peak time, main room function. The B1 lowers the tempo for an outing featuring the Casio RZ1 and TR 808 bass drum. B2, '#lyfe' features house breaks, chopped up under the majestic Juno 106 pad and bassline, whilst the final B3, 'Untitled' (Put it on), concludes the 12' with the samples that inspired the title track. Vocal's supplied by Sinead Brophy. Mastered in the Iron Lung's lair. Pressed on smoking hot wax by Music House, UK.

Perseus Traxx is no stranger to the legion of underground warriors who place quality above quantity, having released on Bunker, M/O/S, Photic Fields, BOE Recordings, BoomChik, Chiwax, Sequencias, and Future Flash to name a few, as well as being one half of Nite Vision with the man behind Mantra/Myriadd.
The Muses are the nine Goddesses who promote literature, science and the arts; the personifications of inspiration. Though only named and assigned characteristics as recently as the Roman era, they were revered by the ancient Greeks, who documented that them as having been recruited by the Egyptian God Osiris as he passed through Ethiopia prior to embarking on a tour of Asia and Europe to teach the arts of cultivation to mankind. Itís with this in mind that Perseus Traxx, makes his first release on Newcastleís Flight Recorder label, delivering an ode to four of them directly rather than the forms they have inhabited while they visit him. Bubbling and cutting, heavy synths and dusty tones are jammed out live to tape, ranging from the playful to the stark as they characterise the appropriately named tracks. An ordered tangle of wires and patching in a unique set of acid-free sonic experiments, that sometimes feel as cold and edgy, as they do warm and carefree.

DDSR005 comes from the New York City based newcomer Edgar M. A house producer by trade, this is Edgar M's debut release but it doesn't show, demonstrating an ear for sound aesthetics and dynamics that immediately caught the attention of Deep Down Slam. His track "Oscillate" is a little masterpiece, rich with musicality and vintage sounding production techniques that are reminiscent of early Strictly Rhythm. This EP sounds just like it came straight out of 1991 and was entirely produced on vintage hardware/analog based equipment. To complement this release we have Zurich based house producer Donato Capozzi on the remix duties who delivers a great dub version of "That Strut". This is a release for the lovers and vintage sounding house diggers out there, NY touch guaranteed!

The Murph has not been shy about sharing his vision with the world, & here he brings some classic home grown Chicago flavor.

French producer Kool Vibe returns with a third offering on his self titled label, continuing to mine that sound classically rooted in the early 90s East Coast swing of New York and New Jersey. Vibes abound on "U Got Me" with the titular vocal hook leading an orchestra of bouncing percussive rhythms, spritely neon dipped keys and an infectious bassline thump, whilst "House Music" shows Kool Vibe dipping into the sounds of vintage Murk productions with equal aplomb.

100 YEARS is a new label and venue set up by esteemed Sheffield promoter, producer and studio engineer Liam O'Shea - the fist release features two tracks by him as LoShea
'To commemorate this Sheffield invention, which has to be Sheffield's most widespread and successful international export, I have set up a new record label to release the finest techno music I can from around the world' beams LoShea himself. 'Techno is the sonic manifestation of industry in my eyes... not only in its sound and the places it is played, but in its enduring quality. It's hard and resistant to the ebbs and flows of scene changes and fashion, it will always be with us, it's primal and rooted in industrialisation... from Detroit to Berlin to Sheffield.'

As for the first release, it couldn't be more Sheffield or more techno, frankly. Lo Shea took himself into the heart of Forgemasters Sheffield - a huge steelworks - and made field recordings that he then took away and turned into two powerful tracks that evoke the feeling of their environment - sweaty men in overalls lugging lumps of steel into blast furnaces, rumbling cranes, tumbling 100 tonne pipes and a generally oil stained air of coal fuelled industry. 'Steel City' starts of with the hum and throng of huge machines and blasts of hot air bursting through. Then come the pummelling, over sized kicks and ticking, jostling percussive sprinkles to form a wiggling but heavyweight groove straight from the heart of a smoggy factory.

Flipside 'Prang' is just as stern and all consuming, with juddery snares and metallic hits peppering a monstrous bottom end. Throughout its course, the track breaks to grimy found sounds and field recordings before kicking with a renewed energy once again. Both tracks are hugely evocative, stuffed with industrial imagery yet speak to Sheffield's long love of abstract electronica. In another interesting historical tie up, artwork for the label is by The Designers Republic, the same company who worked on the early art for another of Sheffield's most famous and finest sons, Warp Records.

To celebrate all this there will be a launch party at Hope Works on 20th April featuring NonPlus boss Boddika and precision technoist Trevino, as well as Lo Shea himself and local legend Chris Duckenfield. This happens to be National Record Shop day, a fitting coincidence given that Hope Works will be a vinyl only label. The venue itself will double as an art space and rave centre akin to Manchester's Warehouse Project or Bristol's In: Motion. It's a former WWI gun barrel factory, part of the same industrial area in which Harry Brearley was working, so comes drenched in history. Its raw open spaces and looming industrial atmospheres make it the perfect place for people to enjoy techno in its native environment.

Hot Creations hit us with another monster of a release this time from Tom Dinsdale (ex-Audio Bully's) under his new project Minéo. Title track 'Turn Out The Lights' is an intoxicatingly deep groover with a dense low riding bassline, punchy warm chords and an infectious dark male vocal adding a real standout element for the dancefloor. Over on the B-side label head Jamie Jones is on remix duty to deliver one of his best, picking up the pace and turning it into a deep and powerful techy monster, twisted and dark, perfect for the later hours. On a more uplifting tip, the second track from Minéo 'Off The Handle' again carries that distinct UK sound. Bass heavy with perfect underlying swing the track twists and turns through different percussion patterns with captivating distorted vocals riding through the many layers.

Tom Dinsdale aka Minéo has been buried away in the studio for the past eighteen months working on music for his new solo project. Sending the tracks to Jamie Jones and Lee Foss as demos, they were soon snapped up and have become a staple part in both of their sets, smashing dancefloors worldwide from Ibiza to Burning Man festival.

Busier than ever with his hectic schedule, Jamie Jones has been touring as a solo artist but also along with Lee Foss, Ali Love and Luca C as their Hot Natured band, headlining their own events at the likes of Brixton Academy and festivals including Sonar and Glastonbury. Along with this Jamie has been running his Paradise night at DC10 in Ibiza for it's second year with huge line ups featuring big names like Richie Hawtin and Loco Dice but also the new artists Jamie is pushing such as wAFF and Patrick Topping. Finding the time somehow, Jamie has also been hard at work in the studio producing music with the Hot Natured crew with a recent debut album release and also doing a number of remixes for his three record labels.

For the next release on One Records we see a welcomed collaboration from label head Subb-an and Ibiza resident Tuccillo. Together they bring you the exceptional 'Day Motion', a tight rolling and intricate groover with balearic ambience, clearly showcasing both producers talent and style. On the flip side One Records are proud to welcome the legendary french producer Point G who delivers a heavy duty remix like only he can. With a pounding bass the track progresses gritty and dense, never dropping with an array of vocal haunts, melodic keys and carnivalesque FX, swelling and falling throughout. Distinctively different, the original and remix make the perfect soundtracks for the summer dance floor, each for a different moment in time.

With both Subb-an and Tuccillo being fans of each others music it was a natural force that brought them together in the studio. Top class DJ, producer and live artist, Subb-an is really staring to see the benefits of his many years of hard work. Although still young he's released on an impressive selection of labels including Spectral Sound, Visionquest, Crosstown Rebels, Culprit and Tsuba whilst playing at all of the reputable clubs and parties such as DC10, fabric, Womb and Panorama Bar. This year also saw him travel the globe as Damian Lazarus' right hand man in the '10 Years Of Crosstown World Tour' and with an album on the way we are sure to see his career only moving upwards.

Born Italian, Tuccillo now resides in Ibiza where he spends most of his time in the studio, which is where he teamed up with Subb-an for this special collaboration. With his notably distinctive style he has released on labels such as 2020 Vision, Holic Trax, Drumpoet, Rebirth and Freerange. Already working on a part 2 to this release, and with plans for him to play at One Record parties in the future, its safe to say he's now a staple part of the crew.

Recently making a powerful comeback, Point G aka DJ Gregory has been taking things by storm with an EP on Real Tone and a rerelease of the epic 'Underwater' on Apollonia. Starting his own Point G Recordings he has also delivered two sell out releases that are strictly vinyl only limited pressings both making it to number one on decks.de. With everyone waiting in suspense for his next release it seems One Records have managed to snap him up just the right time.

Fast building up an exceptional list of artists on the label and with hugely successful label parties at the likes of fabric, Watergate, Off Sonar and Bob Beaman, One Records are creating a solid platform to really take things to the next level...

Washerman's last 12" was an overwhelming club hit, prompt sold out while nowadays vinyl copies fetching more than 30 Euros. Also this 12" went into the top 100 deep house charts of the year 2012 at Traxsource, Beatport and Juno. Now there's a brand new Washerman 2-tracker which might be exceed the success of its predecessor. The "Raw Poet EP" is a first preview of Washerman's upcoming long-awaited full length album.

Washerman is a story at its best. The humble Gianni Siravo has been around since many years under different names. He released his first records in 1998 as Sequel on labels like Straight Ahead and Sonar Kollektiv. In 2008 he introduced us to his Azuni project and released the album "City Look" on Agnès' label STHLM Audio as well as 12"s on Morris Audio, Quinessentials and Drumpoet. In 2012 he decided to release his music as Washerman. His first single for DPC became one of the most played records that summer/autumn and gained him a big reputation, followed up by countless remixes and releases on labels like Nite Grooves, Saft and Deso. He also started his own label Deep Down Slam, where he is championing music which is inspired by the early house groove of New York and Chicago. The Drumpoet Community people were simply blown away when they heard the album first. It's simply underground dance music in its purest way and straight to the point.

Next to the regular catalogue number, here comes a strictly limited 3LP handmade package including represses of all parts from daniels "in days of old" voyage. Kann locks the awesome project with a complete collection of all tracks from "#one - #nine" that teases out Daniel Stefaniks many-faced shining talents in techno and housemusic. Welcome full edition "days of old" - Hello Future!

The 2nd release on DEEP SHIT - the label curated
by Edwin Congreave from Foals and Jack Savidge
from Friendly Fires - is the debut EP from Durrr
resident KIWI, aka Alex Warren.
KIWI's 'Llama' is a much more straight up offering
than the label's first 12', the epic "Heal" from label
head Congreave (which received support from
Radio 1 DJs Annie Mac, Heidi and Rob da Bank, as
well as widespread club and blog recognition). The
EP's title track, a classic slice of italo-house, was a
staple in Savidge's Australian tour at the turn of the
year - and seeing first-hand the overwhelming
reactions it received from small basement clubs to
festival main stages made it a no-brainer for him to
snap up for the label.
KIWI, meanwhile, has continued to win admirers as
established as Erol Alkan and Andrew Weatherall
(who both included his music in their recent BBC 6
Mixes), with further support coming from the likes of
Ewan Pearson and Daniel Avery. All this has
cemented itself with a booking at London's
prestigious Field Day festival, despite still having
released no original material to date.
'Llama....

Fresh off their recent single on Avotre, the California duo of Yooj and Steve Huerta return in fine form, this time with their Retrofit debut. The pair's creative partnership began back during their final year of university where they discovered a shared affinity for a sound quite divergent from the preferences of their 'EDM' addled peers.

'Take Your Time' opens the EP with myriad distinct influences. Thick progressing stabs, stuttering bass, and a plaintiff female voice make this a perfect peaktime track for the summer. 'Love Me Right' goes for a more heads down, late night approach with a deep rhodes line, guitar licks popping in and out, and a thick, chugging groove that rarely relents.

Best known for their work on labels like 2020vision and Exploited, the Amsterdam duo Homework lend their expert ears to the title track, spreading the original's chords out far and wide, surrounding it with several new melodic elements and a jacking Chicago groove - a combination that will find itself in many a set over the following months. To round things off, 'I Said' alternates boisterous upbeat moments alongside a moody, insistent groove.

With Local Talk release no. 30 we're moving further into territories of straight up no fuss dance floor action.
Already having releases on Dirt Crew Recordings, murmur & Hypercolour Elef knows a thing or two about delivering jacking tracks.
Wake Up Call comes in two versions. The original version is a kick & snare pattern driven monster track with heavy arpeggios and deep pads.
On the flip Brennan Green doesn't hold back either. The main melodic pattern together with percussions is unleashed straight on and as the tracks evolves he adds TR-303 lines making the track even more epic. As Elef described the remix 'perfect for a Panorama Bar set'. The remix is worthy enough based on that one side alone.

Little is known about mysterious producer Tommy Rawson.

Our first acquaintance was the aptly named 'Shy Track' on Red Rack'em's Smugglers Inn 001 release. We tried to find out more but the trail got cold pretty quick. It was not until hearing Gilles Peterson playing a version of Hugh Masekela's 'Don't Go Lose It baby' on his show that word got around, Tommy Rawson was back.

This particular anthemic track found it's way to Mats who then started playing it out and every time, in every club no matter where in the world the reaction was same, people completely lost it on the dance floor!
We had but no choice to release the track and luckily enought Tommy must have a sixth sense because at the same time Mats blasted the track at the Local Talk office to convince Tooli shouting 'this is the next big release for Local Talk, I'm telling you!!' another track made it into his mailbox, the soulful house jam Brenda Done Died With No Name. Both tracks ended up on this 12' of course.

Mr Rawson has delivered the goods here, warm, sunsplashed music all the way. A name to watch for this year and probably not mysterious for long.

After launching with the excellent Systems of Desire collaboration between Kowton and Hyetal, Happy Skull expand their remit with the introduction of a new artist. Describing himself as a "Caped conductor of a rusty, disobedient mechanical orchestra," little is known about London based producer Adjowa but his two original productions here hint that he won't remain unknown for long. Accompanying Adjowa's original heat is a remix from premier Eglo artist Funkineven!

NYC denizen arrives fresh off a stunning, singular album for L.I.E.S to deliver 3 tracks showcasing his swift growth as a producer. Widescreen techno, stern, cracking percussion , & feel good house all figure in.
