Canary recordings second ep, featuring tracks from Jamie trench(tsuba, viva music) ,manooz(morrisaudio), lockwood(midnight love club), and label owner yusuke yamaomto from japan.

This is a solid collection of deep & raw house music beats to keep you moving until the early morning.

Did you know Voguing, which gained mainstream exposure through Malcolm McLaren or Madonna, owes a little of its fortune to France : since the late eighties, this underground movement born in the Harlem ballroom scene fascinated the very first missionaries of house music à la française, whether they'd be DJs, journalists or promoters. Around the world, most of the wonderful Queens of Vogue had a break through with their performances in music videos on MTV, but nowhere else other than in Paris did we take this New-York gay and multicultural counter-culture so seriously. It didn't caught the attention of young producers nor rub off on the pavement of any other city. Therefore, it is without surprise that with their upcoming album « House of Melancholy », Acid Washed, a duo that arose from the second wave of French house, are bringing back a concentrate of everything that house music encloses (we will never say it enough) of polictical, social, utopian, and subversive matters.

Because it's in the legendary club culture, with its heroes and its secret stories, that Andrew Claristidge and Richard d'Alpert found the clay, the ideas and the outline of pretty much everything that they wanted to inject into Acid Washed. Two house music and techno lovers swaying between nocturnal experiences and encyclopedias, both musicians picked up the house nation as an haven, a home to live in, a place to learn and exchange. One grew up next to the cradle of French techno (Grenoble), the other was trained on classical music, new-wave and punk : Andrew and Richard did indeed cross paths around a substrate named Daft Punk, but above all and later on, around the sprawling club culture which came to life at the same moment in Chicago, Detroit and Manchester, and gave birth to the duo. Considered as a return to the origins of house and techno music after the euphoric unpacking of a big bangish first album, « House of Melancholy » however proposes a synthetic cocktail, highly indiosyncratic : a return to the origins of their own house and their own techno. In this way, the ones who would only see Acid Washed as a pair of skillful technicians of vintage synths and references are in for a surprise. We won't dance nor dream to the songs of « House of Melancholy » like to any other album, always higher and louder, and a little bit stronger too.

Tablon is a new France based independent record label. Supporting artists with a characteristic style, tablon releases music by passion, developing its own vision of today's and tomorrow's dance music.
After a first EP by Arnaud linked in a certain way to Greece, tablon 002 will come from Istanbul. Far from us the idea to make a worldwide music label or refer to any old war between two countries. It just happened like that. Sarp makes amazing music and we are proud to present his new EP. It is called "I care because you don't", the artwork is made by Nefelie and the mastering by Mathieu Berthet in Paris. As we care a lot about the vinyl thing, our releases appear first on 12" and then in digital.
"Hi, I am Sarp Yilmaz. No, not your household name, not the next megaDj, not the chart topper, just a guy with some machines and a passion in his heart, who is supported by some other guy who runs this young, fresh label, who is mad enough to release music that is not bassline obsessed, not fitting any of the genre slots of your favorite online store, that is as much hip hop and jazz as it's house. No, this will not destroy your dancefloor, nor will it make you dance like there's tomorrow, it's moody, sometimes even depressive, but I made it with a smile on my face. It's trippy, it's glitchy and it's slow. Music, I make to cure the sicknesses of my heart. Hope it puts a smile on your face too. I care because you don't".

- Follow the sound' ist he message this time which means wes hall go with the flow when the beat hits our mind.

Version 1 comes along in a typical rough way, whereas the second version represents the very deep and old school house shades of their works.

REPRESS ALERT!

My Love Is Underground return with only their second release of 2013, with MLIU15 introducing the sounds of Dungeon Meat. The new collaborative endeavor between MLIU regular Brawther and Tristan Da Cunha of Back To Basics fame, Dungeon Meat live up to the brash nature of "The F*ck Off Track" with heavy hitting percussion driven house at it's finest. Look out for a label of the same name from Dungeon Meat later this year. Face down Ukrainian producer SE62 returns for MLIU duty for a third time with the hook heavy deep house burn of "True Force".

Special Remarks: brown marbled vinyl

Written, produced, arranged and engineered by Joseph Longo III Pal Joey Music aka Earth People

New York finest Joseph Longo III (aka Pal Joey / Earth People) presents an excursions into deep &
soulful house, downbeats and electronica.

(Locked Groove, Nuno De Satos remixes) Something Happening Somewhere and Mary Go Wild combine their forces for a very special record, containing two cuts by Presk and remixes by Locked Groove and label honcho Nuno dos Santos.

Something Happening Somewhere and Mary Go Wild combine their forces for a very special record, containing two cuts by Presk and remixes by Locked Groove and label honcho Nuno dos Santos. The original A1 side has already been released on SoHaSo last summer on their SOMEWHERE compilation, but has now found a place on delicious black gold and is further enriched with a fresh B-side and aforementioned remixers delivering quality reworks.

2BXPRZD is an ode to the celebration of night life and the diverse spectrum of people that move within it. The club has always been a place where people from every background, religion and gender imaginable can meet and express their being through Dancing. It doesn't matter in what way you move, only that it's authentic and respecting towards the fellow dancers around you. Presk provides all the necessary ingredients: the funkiness in the drums melting with the dark and sinister bassline and pitched vocal perfectly assemble the conditions for such an interaction to take place.

Locked Groove takes this celebratory dance and turns it into an even darker and hypnotizing affair. Stripping the original to its bare essence with a pounding kickdrum to lead the way. Pulsing atmospheres and emotive pads swirl around and behind, granulated in a way that they almost fall apart. This is further reinforced by the stream of voices that are processed to sound like a field recording from beyond the iron curtain in Soviet times, anticipating the unavoidable collapse that follows.

The B sides provides a little more uplifting environment with Starets, unsettling melodies and dissonant atmospheres propel forward before restraining the whole thing and letting broken chord stabs seep through the system. Again reworking the original material into a more skeletal structure, Nuno dos Santos adds a poignant arp melody that is typical for his melancholic style. Driving yet breathing with emotion, it's the perfect accompaniment for a night drive while floating through clear skies. This records proves a delightful combination, containing something imperative for every soul feeling the need to express themselves in a unique way.

Systematic Recordings Lost Treasures series has been a revelation since label boss Marc Romboy took the inspired decision to looks at licensing some of the most precious and memorable moments from his musical youth. Not only has he released the remastered versions on Ltd 10" vinyl, he has also backed the singles with exciting remixes, where the choice of producer and the mixes themselves show a deep respect for the original record. 001 saw UK producer Jimpster join Romboy in reworking Terrence Parker's Love's Got Me High and in December of last year F.E.X. and Melon shone on 002 as they turned their talents to Mike Dunn, Victor Simonelli & Luis Radio's 1997 smash, Nothing Stays The Same. Today Marc paints the original with his acid-tipped brush as his Devilfish remix takes us on an bubbling oldskool journey. We are also treated to a remastered version of Victor Simonelli's Lost-In-The-Groove-Mix from 1997 and the brand new Super Dub from F.E.X.

Nur mit einer Handvoll Releases bewaffnet eroberte das 2010 gegründete LIFE AND DEATH Kollektiv die Clublandschaft, darunter so großartige Platten wie WhoMadeWho's 'Every Minute Alone' oder Pillow Talk's 'The Come Back EP'. Jetzt stellt KOMPAKT mit DJ TENNIS' THE OUTCAST eine neues Meisterwerk aus der italo-amerikanischen Soundschmiede
vor, ein melancholischer Floorschmeichler mit opulenten Vocals und psychedelischen Einflüssen. Es war nur eine Frage der Zeit, bis wir auf den Zug aufspringen: Life And Death ist schließlich wie Kompakt als ein Label mit Vorliebe zum Melodiösen und Besonderen bekannt, als Verfechter der Emotionen auf dem Tanzflur. DJ TENNIS' neues Meisterwerk passt da hervorragend ins Bild: Als eines der aufregendsten neuen Talente in der aktuellen Tanzmusik hat Manfredi Romano
aka DJ Tennis das Life And Death-Label mitbegründet und mit Daze auch noch eine der wichtigsten Event- und Bookingagenturen Italiens geschaffen. Nun tritt er mit dem Ausnahmetrack THE OUTCAST ins Rampenlicht, entstanden in
Kooperation mit den einzigartigen PILLOW TALK. Ein feinmaschiges Netz aus Spätsechziger Einflüssen, perfekt austariertem Pop-Geflüster und rohen, für die Primetime hochgerüsteten Beats wird hier serviert und unterstreicht einmal
mehr die nahezu unheimliche Fähigkeit von Tennis, eine lose Sammlung von Einflüssen und Ideen in einen großartigen Clubtrack zu verwandeln der mehr darstellt als nur die Summe seiner Teile.

liit is back, in your face .

IvanLatyshev is a record producer and DJ with more than 10-years experience, having grown up in Russia's cultural epicentre of St Petersburg. Developing a love for deep house, the young producer has been releasing his perfectly-realised club tunes on labels such as Toolroom, and now provides us with a second outing on Dessous Recordings. The Art of Flying EP presents two original tracks and a pair of remixes of the lead cut. The original 'Art of Flying' is quite a statement - a jazzy, swingy beat introduces the track, before solidifying around punchy 4 / 4 groove. Restless synths drift in and out resulting in a track that is both exceptionally funky and deeply wonky - topped off with a killer spoken word vocal. The ever-dependable Eddie Fowlkes steps up on remix duties and supplies a more jacking interpretation, adding a filthy bassline on his Fly Mix. The same track also gets a 'Crazy Dub' rework which expands the space within the track and strips it down for maximum club effect.

Basic Soul Unit returns with another deadly EP on Dolly, further investigating the thin dividing line between techno and broken beats. A-side "Wallow" is a menacing big room stormer with a delicate pad breakdown, with Voiski providing an alternate more driving techno version of it with a splendid melodic twist midway through the track. "Radiate" and "Joyride" on the B both have BSU's signature rhythmic ideas and fresh energy with "Radiate" even going full-on Broken Rave! "Joyride" is that upbeat funky techno nugget that's going to sit in your DJ bag forever.

"I want them to hate me for putting this out" says Jackmaster Hater, referring to tracks once possessed by a mere handful of Chicago House DJs. These recordings, traded secretly on tape, were exclusive to the likes of Ron Hardy and Frankie Knuckles.

Here is the new compilation by Jerome Derradji with Kevin Starke, aka the infamous Jackmaster Hater and owner of Kstarke Records in Chicago. It is one of the sickest slice of Chicago House Music ever released.

This compilation features ultra rare and lost Chicago classics paired with a nice selection of newer tracks produced by Jackmaster Hater and his friends, all nicely laid out on a DCD and 2 DLPs. The DLPs come with a killer poster and the DCD features a booklet about Kstarke records and Kevin Starke and a few more surprises.

It includes rare tracks by Ron Hardy, James "Jack Rabbit" Martin, Terrence Woodard, Traxmen and many more.

This is the real sound of Chicago.

After seven years and 11 releases on labels like Slices of Life and Daniel Bell's Elevate outpost, Berlin producer Baaz is ready to reveal his first full-length effort. His 10-track LP, Red Souvenirs, is set to drop on 24th of November via the beatmaker's own Office Recordings, which makes it the fourth release from the imprint after a record from Christopher Rau and two EPs from Baaz himself.
There's no overarching concept behind the album, nor any grandiose statements or artistic messages. Rather, Red Souvenirs captures flashes of Baaz's moods and translates them into vibes that are communicated via hypnotic grooves, crisp beats, and astral synths. The tracks, which he made between 2010 and 2014, span the genres that have attracted Baaz the most over the years, from snappy house beats to narcotic dub techno and psychedelic hip-hop. Album opener 'Everyone' is a mostly ambient tune peppered with glittering synth pricks, gentle rhythmic tick-tocks, and extended synth pads, while tracks like 'Endori' and 'Closed' are snappy deep house workouts with quiet, screwed-down vocal samples. 'Spacehub' and 'Pressyn,' on the other hand, explore languid hip-hop instrumentals embellished with zaps and long, gliding chords that hold for minutes on end. But no matter what form his productions take, Baaz's emphasis on enveloping rhythms, bubbling melodies, and relaxed atmospherics remains.

ItaloJohnson's first release in 2012 breaks the standards of the classic 12- inch model with two tracks representing a double A-side on a 10-inch vinyl. This is the first release that's branded with the ItalioJohnson logo so grab it while it's hot because stickered copies are limited to 500 vinyl.
The stamped side blows you away with a solid bassline powerful enough to light your ass on fire. Unique FX-sounds, an explicit arrangement and sharp drumming pull the track together.
The flip side provides you with proper house music as the vigorous, repetitive vocal-stabs, a Hells Bells Bass and the fearless 707 drums flow into ItaloJohnson's trademark sound.

Amazing stories propose a various artists for his debut release!
Riccardo, Saverio Celestri, Markus Sommer and Filippo Bena are the protagonists of this new one, don't miss it!

Sixth record from danish NORD Records is out now. NORD005 is an EP made by Bookworms containing four hypnotic tracks.

On Colonial Patterns, Brian Leeds (Huerco S) treats his Kansas City region as a universe worthy of its own electronic music.To that end, Leeds deconstructs Midwestern techno and house tropes. The pieces are corrugated, rough, and decompositional. Working cheaply, Leeds conscientiously uses low-end software, synths and cassettes so as to subvert the gloss of so much urban dance music, giving tracks an impressionistic, emotive feel.
Colonial Patterns shares Jon Hassell's hybridized experiments in percussive ambience, as well as William Basinski's strobing melancholia. When tracks subtly veer into house/techno territories, they mirror the no frills dance mechanics of Midwest figureheads Ron Hardy, Omar S and Theo Parrish.
Most exemplary of this sonic architecture are "Struck With Deer Lungs" and "Angel (Phase)." Both layer subtle rhythmic pulses with broader strokes of deep sustain, creating a pair of intro/outro signals that shape the album's whole sequence and function as main supports to the album's busier core. Bass heavy, Detroit techno leaning "'linzhiid" and "Quiviria" deliver foreboding standouts with snappy economy.
Stripped of pop devices, discarding utopian delusions, Colonial Patterns is electronic music for the open prairie. Inherently inhabitable, yet strangely dispeopled, it's a fitting universe for this otherworldly debut.

Next up Creme Organization is a return by regular artist Lake Haze. Following his Natural Insight EP earlier in the year comes Intergalactic Communicationz, four more fresh tracks of acid, techno and electro that is brilliantly evocative. The Portuguese artist known as Goncalo Salgado also please son labels like Unknown to the Unknown and is a real hardware master. At The Gates ov Futron is a turbulent lack track with zipping acid and a cacophony of percussion that is visceral as well as cinematic. Drexciyan Aquarium is, as the name suggest, an aqueous electro track that slithers and slides through an expansive underwater world. Poseidon's Dream then offers a more rugged electro groove that is backed by heavenly pads and a real sense of loss in the synths. Last of all, Intergalactic Communication closes out this far travelling and intergalactic EP with a sci-fi deep house track that is filled with light, 909s and a sense that the end of the world is coming.

Mystic Deepness only for the aficionados.

Official reissue of some ultra rare electro tracks produced by Anthony "Shake" Shakir. Raw Detroit electro with a nod to Miami bass!

Breakthrough artist Mihail P's debut presents two stunning original tracks alongside mixes by young Hungarian wizard Gnork and the label's own Hutton Drive aka Domenic Cappello, also of Glasgow's fabled Sub Club.

A year after their impressive last album Burn It Down, Detroit techno legends Octave One are back with a nine track double EP that again shows they are masters of big hypnotic grooves.

Entitled Love by Machine, the album's name is a nod to the fact that the Burden brothers are such revered masters of their hardware. Both in the studio, where they cook up atmospheric house and techno with soaring synths and vocals and also in the live arena, where they are celebrated as one of the most accomplished and forward thinking performers in the game today. That is all the more impressive when you bear in mind they have been active since the '80s, most often releasing on their own 430 West label, which is where they appear again here.

Say Lenny: We've been exploring the theme of connection with this project. How technology gives us the illusion that we are closer to each other more than ever. At some point humanity crossed a line where the devices that we created to bring us together are the same devices that are blocking us from organic experiences.'

Technology is only a tool, which we also had in mind during the recording process.' Adds Lawrence. We decided to go back to how we used to make our records, when we didn't have so many 'sophisticated' audio devices. Back to when we interacted in the studio together as musicians.'

Things open up with the loose metallic percussive line that is In Mono, which sets the machine made tone and is filled with promise. Locator then immediately gets to action with a gallivanting techno kick and various synth lines wrapping round each other as you get sucked into the groove. Just Don't Speak (Midnight Sun Redub) is a more deep and house leaning track with big feel good piano keys and slithering synths that will get hands in the air. Proving they have real range, 7 B4 Dawn is a moody and reserved cut with subtle acid pricks, hip swinging claps and a spaced out dead of night feel.


The second half of the album offers peak time business in the form of the spectacular Bad Love II, the whirring and cosmic Sounds of Jericho and the big loops and fluid grooves of (Where) Time Collides. Pain Pressure is a wonky number with big bassline and a focus on percussive patterns as well as some vocals with real attitude and last cut 8 B4 Dawn ends things in a downbeat and sombre way with sad chords and emotive strings. It is pure Detroit, much like the whole album, and rounds out another fine release from these most revered veterans.

Roman Flügel "I think the first 5 tracks of the album are simply fantastic"

New Andres 12'' debut on his own label La Vida. Andres is one that really needs no introduction, but for those unfamiliar here it is: Andres, aka DJ Dez, is one of Detroit's unsung heros of underground music. Since the late 90's Andres has built up an extremely respectable catalog of that blurs the boundaries between genres, most notably his records on KDJ and Mahogani Music. Not to forget, DJ Dez is also Slum Village's DJ, has recorded many hip hop instrumental on Hipnotech Records, and his hand is on countless other Detroit records. Definitely one of the most consistent producers we've got here whose music can be summed up in one word: Quality!

Californiabased producer Damon Bell could not find a more suitable home for his new 12' than Croatian label Burek. It's his first one since Blues For The Libyan' LP released in 2015. for Deepblak, and it sounds as if the time off was well spent. Two words that perfectly describe this record are rich' and colourful', and the description is equally applicable to all three cuts. Stand By Me' is a synthheavy piece built around the interplay between track's rougher sounds and big lush pads. On the flipside, Life' is slightly faster and more direct, with a wonderful guitar part that circles around the main theme throughout the most of the track. Similarly mannered, but slightly more intense TransAtlantic Journey We Been Here!' is the last piece and features an infectious groove with lead synth piercing through layers of delicate arpeggios playing in the background. All in all, it feels good to have Damon in the team. We hope you'll enjoy this record

A young DJ/producer from Brooklyn (Deep Explorer, Finale Sessions) pushing the line where deep house and techno join in emotive rawness. A deep moody selection of movements that suit any occasion as the vibe grows & culminates.

Following on from Anetha's 'Ophiuchus' EP last year, Work Them Records founder Spencer Parker has compiled a remix package featuring himself and French techno stalwart Antigone.
A key component in the thriving Parisian techno scene, Anetha is a resident at monthly party series BLOCAUS.
Spencer reworks 'Drive With A Dead Girl', incorporating punchy kicks and shuffling hats before the original's
mesmerising arpeggios come into effect.
On the other hand Antigone distorts 'Black Widow' beyond recognition by blending fuzzy atmospherics with a cavernous
808 and glitchy hook.
Concluding the release is a bonus track from Anetha herself titled 'Traces To Nowhere' with its gloomy pads and squelchy melodies. DJ Support:
Matt Edwards (Radio Slave)
Marcel Dettmann
Rodhåd (Dystopian / Other Heights / Semantica / Berlin)

Back again with his (her/their) third 12" on UNKNOWN DEETROIT featuring 4 deep and dirty house and techno cuts with a taste of acid: "U FEEL IT", "DEEVIANTS", "DEETROIT CONSPIRACY" and "FLOW". “Apparently inspired by three weeks of internet speculation spawned by a simple question as to the true identity of DEETROIT. 250+ comments on Facebook later and UNKNOWN DEETROIT followers explain that it simple does not matter! Again it’s all about the music and that music is deep house and / or techno! Long Live UDR!†Hand stamped white labels. Gonna be big bitches!

Dutch producer Nathan Surreal debuts on Biologic Records with Star Dust featuring remixes from Adesse Versions and Neville Watson. Exploring abstract, surreal and melodic electronic sounds, the Dutchman is a perfect addition to the Biologic roster. Appearing on a host of underground labels since 2014, Nathan is set to make a breakthrough with Star Dust' Balancing on the edge of reality and pushing further into the abstract and surreal worlds Star Dust unfolds through waving synths and dubby bass lines. $$$ is a darker track, the bassline punchier and driving acid-tinged synths create a dance-floor ready record. Next up Human Music has a more minimal introduction, building in intensity as the synths come through until finally the melody drops, maintaining the dreamy top line that Nathan is so adept at maintaining. Neville Watson provides the first remix on the EP, he adds reverb to the vocal, amplifying its effect on the track. Star Dust is intensified, perfect for late night, or early morning, dance floors. Addesse Versions remix of Star Dust is a twisted acid remake, a left-field and off kilter beat is slowed down to a psychedelic swirl, pulsating throughout the track.

This release from UKNOWN DEETROIT comes pressed on red vinyl and is limited to only 666 copies. Featuring 6 tracks, including one with backwards music, this is sure to appeal to fans of his/her/their past 12"s. Hand stamped white...

This is an essential record for collectors of relics focused on the Club. To the mysterious, exotic and even tribal vibe, the record label adds a remix by Daniel Martin-McCormick, best known as Ital, who has recently published his 3rd album
with Mike Paradinas (Planet Mu) apart from also presenting some pieces from his own record company Lover's Rock or in the prestigious Workshop house. Remixes by JMII and Pettre, Aster's ex-band components, are also added in the digital version of it.

Ramona happily announces Benjamin Milz' first full-grown EP. Being made by a Frankfurt kid with a mature sound signature, "Basic Motions" nods towards what once was and what could be one day.

Following his bomb 'Booty Jazz' EP released under the Jupiter Jazz moniker alongside label boss Maceo Plex, Miami's finest Danny Daze goes solo to release 'The Calm' - two original cuts of deep dark house with a stellar remix from Dutch producer Dexter.
Title track 'The Calm' opens with a deep pulsating heart, beating and building as sweeping waves of trippy FX roll in and out with doubled up and slightly deranged vocals dominating the atmosphere. Swelling steadily with powerful synth lines and rhythm the track drops dramatically, kicking into a tight rolling groove that rides through the depth and layers.
Picking up the pace class-A producer and remixer Dexter takes the reins to spin his techno twist onto 'The Calm'. Making music since the mid 90s and with huge releases on the likes on Rush Hour and Clone, the Dutchman is a welcome addition to the Ellum Audio catalogue. Thriving with drive and energy his remix is an essential DJ weapon for any peak time affair.Rounding off the package 'I See You There' is the second original track on offer from Mr. Daze. Continuing in the same vein as 'The Calm' the track builds moodily with epic synths, industrial stabs and haunting vocals. Taking a turn it drops into a powerful dance floor bomb with deep, warm keys that beautifully carry the melody.
Already flying high in the game and with a hectic tour schedule lined up and a Radio 1 Essential Mix in the pipeline for this summer. 2013 looks set to be a big one for wonder boy Danny Daze.

The Deewees say... Five years ago we met Emmanuelle in an office in Milano. For years we asked her to play us some of the music she'd been making on her laptop in her bedroom. When DEEWEE was built we invited the Rio born / Miami raised / Milano based artist to make some music together. This is the first of many things we've done so far...'

Volume 6 of the sought-after series FROM CHICAGO TO DETROIT compiled by JORDAN FIELDS. The A side kicks off with "MOONMAN'S RETURN" and a full 12" version of "THE RUNNER" from BOO WILLIAMS. Side B features tracks from STEVE FRISCO, MORGAN ALEXANDER and GILES DICKERSON. Be quick on this one!

A Sagittariun continues to release primarily on his own Elastic Dreams label, and 'The Magick Box' EP features four tracks that come nearly 12 months on from the uncompromising techno of the 'Contortion'/'Concrete Walls' single and the second full length album odyssey, 'Elasticity'. Taking in pacey techno cuts 'Curviture' and 'Kobalt', cruising electro vibes on 'Floating On Salt Water' and wigged out industrial funk on 'Bleepanomix', once again 'The Archer' delivers a varied collection of new tracks on the EP. Vital Sales Points: - Previous singles on Secretsundaze, Hypercolour and Elastic Dreams were very well received - A Sagittariun's second album, 'Elasticity', was released in April 2016 to glowing reviews and polled in the Mojo Magazine Top 5 Electronic Albums Of The Year

Here we present Good Vibrations, the debut EP on Local Talk from Canadian producer Orazio Fantini.
The best thing with this EP is that it's simply straight up house music that is both deep yet raw and funky all at the same time.
Basically, its very Local Talk ;)
First track 'To The Ball' starts off with a bubbling bass line, followed with shuffling hi-hats and swinging beat that's glued together by glistering synth stabs, infectious to say the least. Turn the record over for 'Feel it' which showcases Fantini's clever use of vocal samples blended together with the perfect swing and last not but not least, 'On Hold' is a stripped track but with all the necessary elements to make the feet move.

More space age melancholic sounds for the second instalment of the Craigie Knowes Universal Broadcast series. Electro to Techno across 4 celestial beats.

Roberto Bosco delivers his debut for ART. A double pack of serene dub influenced Techno including elements of tribal percussion layerd over hypnotic extended arrangements. After esteemed releases on Mowar, Wave, Falkplatz and more - Bosco brings the unique flavour of southern Italian Techno via Berlin.

Here we have VOLUME 2 of the FROM CHICAGO TO DETROIT series. This 5 tracker contains unreleased 90's grooves by LARRY HEARD & GARI ROMALIS who opened for DERRICK MAY at the legendary MUSIC INSTITUTE! The B Side features CHI-TOWNS very own GENE HUNT & AFRICAN WITH MAINFRAMES. Limited copies!

Asymmetrical code is the evolution of what is known as techno today. The "Code" or song, takes you on a journey to the future of the past where you can find an alternate "you" through contemporary realities and soundwaves.
Starting in 2013 as an underground label with no public releases, the main goal of Fragmento & Tracy (Owners) was to find and collect the perfect sound, ambients, and grooves to carry you to the musical meaning of Asymmetrical Code. On this journey the listener is also accompanied by visual stimulants created by the Label, to influence or facilitate the mind to wander and build a new creativity within you.
In this opportunity we have the pleasure to introduce in the A.C.R.002.V. artists such as ENDLEC - Fragmento - Ryuji Takeuchi - Tracy&MTD.
Stay tuned for the A.C.r. 003 .V.

BOO WILLIAMS' "MOON MAN'S RETURN" sees HEADPHONIQ issue its 10th release! This track comes from the same time period as BOO's "MARS" track. JORDAN FIELD's "1986 IN THE MIX" is classic jack. HEADPHONIQ represses STEPHANE VERA's "SITBACK" & MR. FEELING's "PINK SUNSHINE" close out the EP.

Aus Music bring a summer of firsts to a close as they follow up records from the newly collared Recloose, Trevino and Paul Woolford with another new addition to the team: Tom Trago. The Rush Hour regular joins the ranks with 'Being Broke' - a bright and groovy four-track aimed straight at the dance floor of this season's closing festivals. The A side offers up an original and dub version of the title track - a bumping House groove built with playful vocal samples and nifty synth lines. On the flip are two version of 'Good Lies' - the first rolling out over its elongated duration with sharp, galloping hats and free-flowing Rhodes notes. Tension begins to develop as the track steadily snowballs gathering vocal snips and a menacing bass line while the 'Good Christian Edit' offers up a lighter, more early-doors affair bringing a nicely rounded package to a close.

After making a sunny debut on Aus back in May 2016 - Brooklyn based luminary Recloose readies his second 12 for the label and in doing so enlists the help of Mara TK of Electric Wire Hustle, Ezrakh and Son of Sound of House 2 House and Strictly Rhythm fame. His 'Spirit Knows' EP adds to a catalogue of more than 20 years - one that's touched the likes of Planet E, Rush Hour and Peacefrog and in a similar vein to 'Honey Rocks' - his latest offering comprises 3 eloquent cuts of House Music and carries with it a balmy sense of soul that fans both old and new will relish.

A Dj. since 93. A producer since 98. A true student of the music/culture. Amir founded Vanguard Sound in February 2006. After making his presence felt in the Chicago club scene via a meteoric rise culminating a Dj watch feature in Chicago's 5 magazine, he completely disappeared and went beneath the underground to focus solely on advancing his production skills.

Soon after linking up with G. Marcell and Hakim Murphy he began to release gritty tracks that have been charted and played by underground Dj's world wide. His fourth release was the sleeper classic 'Experience ep' a 4 tracker with Amir on side a, and G. Marcell on side b.

Encouraged by the feedback, Amir then submitted tracks to New York city's Plan B Recordings. The rest is history as they say.......

Recording under the name Amir Alexander and the pseudonym Guerrilla Soul! this cat strives to bring a raw and gritty modern spin on classic Detroit, Chicago, and New York underground sounds.

PRESS


Andrew Ryce (Resident Advisor)
"Dazed And Amazed" leaves me pretty Dazed & Amazed... HAR HAR HAR. Love the shuffling
garage percussion, wobbly basslines, vocal samples.. what a dreamy tune. "Everybody's
Beautiful" is the same deal, though a bit more straightforward -- but the bassline, subtly bumping
underneath the drifting beats, and those synths.. I'm melting! Acid Mix is good too, adds a little
bit of oomph but doesn't stomp all over what made the original mix so pleasant. Stellar EP.


Joshua P. Ferguson (Time Out Chicago)
Chicago love! I dug Alexander's release with Argot, and this is just further evidence that he's a
Windy City voice we should be hearing a lot more of.


Patrick Schutz (Groove, DE)
promising


Ryan Keeling (Resident Advisor)
Tidy drum programming. More heat from AA.

Contakt (XLR8R)

Spooks (Trap Magazine, Bristol UK)
Everybody's Beautiful is doing it for me, the original's a really nice warm-up track and the Acid
mix is nicely bubbling. Supporting for sure.


Seb (Mixmag)
thanks!


Michael Wilson (DJ Mag)

Steve Mizek (Little White Earbuds)

Forbidden Colours and Eduardo De La Calle join forces again, this time for a solo ep from De la Calle.
Colour Planet Corporation contains 3 original trippy and minimalistic cuts.
To wrap things up, label boss El_Txef_A made a dusty remix that brings a perfect balance to the release.
My love wears forbidden colours
My life believes
My love wears forbidden colours
My life believes in you once again

Myles Sergé is back with his latest addition to the (MS) series "Everything In Darkness Comes To Light". This two-part saga embodies the very essence of minimalism, conceived in the true "raw" (MS) form... Deep, dark and very personal.

A heavy, heavy remix package here from Hypercolour. Step forward Bonobo, Kowton and Dark Sky, who all contribute stellar remixes of Maya Jane Coles' 'Don't Put Me In Your Box' EP, originally out in 2011. Bristol's Joe Cowton AKA Kowton plucks for 'Parallel Worlds' from Maya's EP to get the once over, opting for a dancefloor-centric re-work. Stripping things right back with big, distorted drums and strobe like percs, the Idle Hands and Livity Sound man affords us with a real sweat soaked warehouse banger of a remix. Dark Sky have been firing on all cylinders of late, releases on Tectonic and 50 Weapons, collaborations with Breach... and their remix of 'Something In The Air is underpinned with a rattling 4/4 groove and big subby sweeps, retaining the original's melodic touches. Bonobo seals a huge period of activity, including a rack of acclaimed albums for Ninja Tune, with an ethereal and sublime take on 'Something In The Air'. The remix cinematically sweeps over you, its rising melodies and tight percussions making this a standout job from Bonobo and a fine closing to a big remix package!

Heavily 313 influenced tracks from Mattia Trani for honorary Detroiter Orlando Voorn's Nighttripper Records. Comes with excellent remixes by Juan Atkins and DJ Stingray. Don't miss!

Here it is! Future Beat Alliance's legendary Hidden Emotion album!
Originally pressed back in 1997, but just some few white label promos were made and it was never given a full proper release. This is a real timeless UK underground treasure featuring 9 absolutely stunning productions, all filled with warm emotions from the beginning to end.

The time has come for another artful Something Vinyl. Influenced by strong orbital gravity forces, STL aka Stephan Laubner transmits deep and moody generated soundwaves once again from his headquarter place out into the world. These 12 inches are able to maneuver eventful emotional vibrations from out of morphic fields and active surroundings, steep surely and on-target, straight home and interior. With three dimension-bending tracks, this release lifts off and comes in queue with, and on top of the existing vast beauty of the Something catalog - which in abstract channels actually and already can give soulfood possibly forever. SVS29 continues to hold on functional proven techniques and sense-intensities and includes besides genuine new never heard reality checking digs, some well known rare energy loaded twists, remastered today. It shouldn't be unmentioned that this Vinyl comes in limited quantities, and as usual in good shape with an unmistakable drowned tonal aesthetic, that will resonate deep & low till the edge of imagination. With a far visionated flair and an awareness for primary instincts, Something Vinyl Series 29 is taking you through the hatch of space and time in order to make you feel, dance and excite your sweeping senses. Now please enjoy and groove in!

Edition with ALL ron trent mixes. main,dub and Satoshi Tomiie Tool Edit of Ron Trent Remix! Vinyl Only! 180g Vinyl
The summer is coming and we are proud to present this : EP featuring the previously unreleased, amazing 10 minutes journey of Ron Trent remix on A side with the DJ tool edit done by Satoshi himself on the flip. More goodies : Sampler AA001 being sold out with no plans to be repressed, we have decided to include the Dub Version of Ron Trent on this release.

Following its initial release in 2013 and its round of high-profile advert placements, FCL 'It's You' is proving to be one of those tracks that just keep coming back better. Featuring remixes by the likes of Mousse T., Hercules & Love Affair and Nick Holder, this Defected remix package is sure to send 'It's You' down the road to becoming a classic.

With a wall-scratching kick and rattling shakers, first on the list is Mousse T.'s Teef Vocal Mix, which moves with its minimal bass line and striking piano melody. Next up, Mousse T.'s Discotronic Mix drops the disco ball by introducing a groovy bass guitar riff and uplifting synth stabs. Nick Holder's Trackheadz Mix sets the irrepressible vocal over a rolling, sub-heavy house groove, with eerie chords and orchestral strings exquisitely playing off one another as the track progresses. Finally, Hercules & Love Affair Remix creates an intricate rhythm medley using pitched high hats and vanishing synth breaks against a futuristic guitar lick and cosmic arpeggios. With such a diverse and well-crafted selection of remixes, each track preserves the irresistible draw of the original while steering into its own unique sonic direction.

Copenhagen purveyor of melodic electro soul Kondi Records finally resurfaces after almost a decade with a new batch of tracks from man of the moment, Jeremiah R. Sleek nighttime electro in a deep but spacious melancholic vein of The Other People Place and Drexciya's mellow aquatic dives. Includes an extended version of 'The Outer Rings', which appeared back in 2011 on the ultra limited 'the 5th dimension' album.

Centuries offers a lush underpinning w/dubby voices & percussives. "All I Know" floats on a sea of shifting harmonic pads, "Synthesizer Freeway" dips deep into the well of modular synthesis.

A true classic from the Dance Mania archives.

This stormer from Paul Johnson was originally released in 1994 and includes the mighty 'Feel My M.F Bass'.

Driving forward from the announcement of their forthcoming 'PolyRhythmic' LP on Sasha's Last Night On Earth imprint, Kate Simko and Tevo Howard are known for creating out of the box and genre-bending productions. Now, the native Chicagoans proudly announce their 'Theme Track EP,' giving music lovers a taste of things to come from the album.

Both Kate and Tevo grew up on house music and their collaboration stays true to their roots whilst bringing a contemporary twist. Their signature classic sound shines brightly through each production. The opening track 'PolyRhythmic Theme' does exactly that. A groove-ridden bass line, coupled with a driving electro synth, mingles with recordings of people on the street near Tevo's studio in Chicago.

Tevo's classic Roland programming and Kate's melodic synth melodies are ever present throughout the EP, highlighted perfectly in 'No Regrets'. Featuring vocalist Baz from Pirupa, the track's keep-it-real lyrics and hypnotic harmonies bring a new dimension to the PolyRhythmic project. Inspired by the iconic Chicago imprint Prescription Records, 'No Regrets' is a standout track from the forthcoming album.

Closing the EP in the spirit of PolyRhythmic, renowned New York producer Fred P (aka Black Jazz Consortium) delivers a masterful remix of 'PolyRhythmic Theme'. Fred, a former roommate of Tevo's in Berlin, has established himself as one of the most respected players in house music. Taking his time on this remix, he's delivered an artful dance floor jam already earning incredibly enthusiastic DJ feedback. An eight-minute journey, the rework of 'PolyRhythmic Theme' takes the listener from sparse 808 grooves to powerful high rising synth peaks fluttering throughout the track.

Kate and Tevo form a natural alliance, which captures their versatility as artists. Combining their mutual passions for music and homage to their Chicago roots, 'Theme Track' once again reiterates that the duo are strongly at the forefront of a fresh wave of innovative and dynamic producers. This release marks another chapter in the eclectic collaboration of Kate Simko and Tevo Howard, moving us closer to their eagerly anticipated album out this September on Last Night On Earth.

After more then a year, Italian label Kosmophono is back with their second chapter on vinyl. The tasty release features a selection of great artists and seductive sounds and gives you a taster of the many other great projects lined up on this label for this year.
For the A-side, Fuse London resident Antony Difrancesco joins forces with Dutch born Ferro and opens up with the aggressive and hypnotic "Des", with its tough drums and mesmerising pads. Next up is ''tINI and the Gang" regular, Crocodile Soup, who brings his deeper side into action on ''These Shoes Are Made For Walking'', a track that is elastic and seductive and expertly arranged. David Gtronic's signature drums and trippy pads then mark a stunning opening to the B-side on 'Down the Burrow' and last but not least, He Did closes the vinyl with "Algunas Palabras', a track with a mixture of minimalistic and natural sounds that make for compelling listening and perfectly showcase the He Did sound. This is a classy EP from a label that the world needs to get behind as they continue to grow.

After emerging from years of seclusion below the Chicago underground last year, Marquis Cooper aka Svengalisghost, returns with all new material recorded this winter somewhere between the woods of North Carolina and the streets of NYC. An advocate in creating what he calls the "Anti-Beat", Cooper takes what he's learned from the traditional machine experimentation of the early pioneers, reconstructs and retransmits the sounds which lie somewhere in the realm of unhinged synth punk or industrial forward-thinking beat electronics. These tracks are truly the essence of HOUSE, and a vicious circle it is.

Solid tech tracks by Reno Wurzbacher / Mike Dehnert / Roman Lindau on the more house-oriented sub division of Fachwerk records!

Essential reissue!! The producer and dj from Chicago Joey Kay published in 1994 an EP that soon became a favorite of the 90s house DJs around the world: 'Eclectiz Ep'. The legendary label House Jam Records was responsible for editing and selling it. Nowadays, in 2016 (22 years later) the owners of the label Bons Records have been in contact with Joey Kay and they have been quick to reach an agreement to make a remastered edition of the great Eclectiz Ep including the same tracks that the original version but at an affordable price to everyone, not favoring the speculation around these kind of musical gems, mostly in platforms like Discogs. 'Eclectiz Ep' has been remastered by Robert Feuchtl (Fat Of Excellence) and will be distributed by Subwax.

Aus Music proudly present their final release of the year which brings with it the return of recent signing Paul Woolford. The Houndstooth and XL Recordings regular continues to refine the emotionally charged drama of his recent work and in doing so, enhances his constantly evolving catalogue with a continuation of the recent 'Heaven & Earth' EP on Aus. The 'Father, Son & Holy Ghost' EP sees Woolford propel heart-wrenching melodies with thunderous drums in a manner that only few are capable of. Progressing with resolute intent, the package includes 2 club-ready cuts and the beatless, string-laden 'Son' which completes a release of radically heightened compositional intensity and rounds off a stellar 2016 for Aus.

Volume 2 in Trax new re issue series "Chicago Trax", delves deeper into the archives to unearth more 'lost tracks' from the legendary Chicago house label.
Kicking off with "Dum Dum - Part 2" by Fresh (TX115 - 1986), following on from Part 1 which came out on Larry Sherman's Precision (named after his pressing plant) in 1984, and included a prototype version of what would become "Real Love" by Jesse's Gang. Its follow up, Part Two, produced by Jesse Saunders was just as basic consisting of bass, drums and the occasional squelch or stab.
Next up... Yes its him again - Farley Jackmaster Funk with "Give Your Self To Me" (TX116 - 1986). Featuring uncredited vocal performances from both Ricky Dillard and Kevin Irving, this is almost symphonic in comparison with some of Farley's previous foray's into the studio, possibly aided by the fact he utilised a producer, Danny Wilson, to finesse his efforts.
On the B side we start with Willie Wonka's "What Is House (TX122 - 1986). Dwayne Grant's name seems to have slipped off the radar, but this wasn't even his first release, having already recorded under the name Grant for Sherman's Precision the year prior to this. Unusually for some, "What Is House" is Linn drum-heavy and from memory, I believe this vocal comes from the producer reading an early piece written about Chicago house. Yet another underrated tune from the vaults.
Finally we have Radio Fashion "What You Deserve" (TX123 - 1987). An anomaly in the Trax catalogue, Radio Fashion would seem more at home an obscure Belgian label or even on Wax Trax! Although they did contribute to other house releases (like "The Jackin' National Anthem" on Hot Mix 5), vocalist Jim Romano turned up on a Die Warzau album in the early 90's doing background vocals.

The next chapter in the Creme Organization Ecplise series comes from Cosmic Garden with three original tracks and one remix from Orgue Electronique. Little is known about Cosmic Garden other than he is from Southern Italy and has had two EPs out in 2016, one on HotMix and one on Cosmic Rhythm. He heads out the blocks here with 'Reptilian Treant', six minutes of lo-fi deep house that is roomy and atmospheric. Lazy synths bring soul and a gentle chatter of claps and hits helps drive it along. 'Rare Centaur' is also way below the surface but is darker and more celestial, with turbulent bass, frantic claps and angelic chords glowing like a white light at the end of a tunnel. Dutch house and electro don Orgue Electronique then remixes 'Reptilian Treant' into something that is slick and serene, with metallic lines dancing above rubbery drums as big piano chords boucle up top. It is joyous and colourful and truly majestic before final track 'Apocalyptic Moose' takes us back down into a mournful house vibe that echoes Chicago with its roughhewn analogue textures and lovestruck chords.

2nd installment of the space jams series by DJ Haus - 4 stripped back raw club houz tools on Unknown To The Unknown.. Bleep techno & house all in the mix!

Eduardo De La Calle brings back to Memento his trademark
analogue sounds and musical experimentations with the Golden Archives 1 EP. Two tracks that once again define the Spanish maverick's personal hybrid of Detroit Techno and European Electronica, veering into psychedelic territory and progressive rhythms, and continuing to explore the outer limits of the underground scene. 'Missing You (Edit)''s chants and deep soulful atmospherics build up with emotional piano melodies, while 'Quasicalligraphic''s mechanical stabs and ghostly synths are accompanied by spectral percussions and melancholic chords.

The Chicago house master aka Mr Mike Dunn returns to moreaboutmusic with some fresh new material taken from his forthcoming album due in 2017.

'FT', which Sean describes as 'electronic, psychedelic soul', sees him collaborate with an extraordinarily diverse range of artists, spanning some of the most significant underground musical icons of the past 40 years. This stellar collection of artists includes:- Yoko Ono, avant garde musician, conceptual artist and one of the most controversial female artists of all time, Bootsy Collins, widely regarded as one of the finest Funk/R'n'B bass players in the world, Dave Ball, co-founder of Soft Cell, notorious UK synth pioneers with the uniquely sleazy electric soul sound, Fred Schneider from the manic, bizarre and highly innovative US new-wave group B-52's and Alan Vega, vocalist of the essential and groundbreaking New York duo Suicide. A full list of collaborating artists is below.Hifi Sean is the songwriter, DJ and producer Sean Dickson. He is most famously known as front man of the Scottish band The Soup Dragons, responsible for a series of huge hit singles, 'I'm Free', 'Divine Thing', and 'Mother Universe'. Dickson was also the main creative force behind the follow-up project The High Fidelity, a much more artful and intimate project, critically acclaimed for the releases 'Demonstration' and 'The Omnichord Album' . Those albums included two very rare musical collaborations between Dickson and legendary Radio DJ John Peel and also the late Mickey Finn (one half of 70's musical giants T-Rex). In some ways, this was the germination of an idea that would provide the conceptual foundation behind 'FT Sean underwent a total musical reinvention at the turn of the millennium, evolving and transforming his creative energies from a guitar playing band front-man to a DJ. He began playing house, disco and electro in Glasgow's burgeoning and innovative club scene, before relocating to London in 2006 where he began to become a staple figure at deep house underground and afterhours clubs.As the artist Hifi Sean he is now a highly respected DJ and producer, having held residencies at Fire, Ministry of Sound, Shoreditch House and Savage Disco, as well as playing regular international shows in Europe and the USA.In creating 'FT', Sean has carefully fused elements from his past and present musical lives into something unique and joyous:The album is a journey through psychedelic dance rhythms, and electronic and soulful moods, drawing from elements of Disco, Chicago house, Detroit techno, and London underground party roots. 'FT' is at once an homage to the foundations of his musical heart and a determined attempt to forge something new and vital from the sounds that have fuelled his life in music. It is also partly an autobiography in audio of the past 15 years of his life observing dancefloors, and growing as a producer.The album guides the listener from soulful euphoria to Balearic bliss, new wave punk-house to conceptual cosmic voyage, ending with the crescendo of the full-on orchestral movement 'A Kiss Before Dying' with Alan Vega from Suicide. 'FT' carefully underlines the gifts of each of its vocalists, a work which is the instinctive pulse of multiple dances floor tempered and crafted by the nuanced heart and head of the songwriters craft:Calling upon his 25 years of music business experience and connections, Sean worked hard to pull together a collection of quite possibly one of the most impressive range of collaborations witnessed on a single release in recent memory. These transatlantic recordings were made possible through collaborations recorded in London, Chicago, New York, San Francisco, Cincinnati, Washington, Glasgow and Toronto. Sean says of the project: I think of this album as a curated gallery of all my favourite sounds and loves, and when moulded together, the record paints a unique and personal picture of my life experience.'

'Sidetracking - Part 1: Prologue' is the first vinyl taste of Jona's de- but album project for Alex Niggemann's forward-thinking AEON la-bel. The musical puzzle will be completed in February 2016 with the release of a second vinyl instalment, featuring 6 more original tracks, and the full 10-track album on CD format. Created over the course of two highly creative years, the concept for 'Sidetracking' was for Jona to invite some of his musician and producer friends to collaborate with him in the studio and compli- ment his album's solo productions. This impressive coming together (to be fully revealed over the coming months) features Varoslav (Rue de Plaisance, Paris), Usio (Studio Barnhus), David K (Cocoon), Bo- livian percussionist Daniel Aguilar, Italian pianist Giovanni Verga, and Edinburgh-based producer The Reverse Engineer. Driven by his desire to explore new sound perspectives and ideas, Jona has carefully forged his career path by consistently creating exciting and forward-thinking music. His previous label outings: 'Traffic' on 'Lost Tapes Volume 1' (AEON010) and 'Gemini EP' (AE- ON016) have seen him fine-tune his own unique sound. By incor- porating a wide range of styles into his tracks, Jona strives to break down unnecessary boundaries and explores new ideas and ways to ignite that hallowed dancefloor flame. It is therefore no wonder that his collaborative creations for 'Sidetracking' have yielded such stimulating aural delights. Fittingly, the album prologue opens with a track whose style is heav- ily influenced by the jazz music that Jona was so in love with dur- ing his formative years. Calling on the somewhat mysterious Usio (whose 'Kuwa Huru' LP on Studio Barnhus should be checked by everyone) to join him in a studio jam, has resulted in 'The Chase', an utterly compelling afro-beat influenced percussive groove, topped with swirling funk-fuelled stabs and strings, mesmerising chiming piano, and a large helping of pure, hip-swinging goodness. Taking 'The Chase' on an entirely different and yet perfectly com- plimentary twisted trip, AEON family members Simone Sinatti and Marco Paladin (aka Speaking Minds) conjure up a futuristic technoid disco demon that is all about throbbing energy, sweat, darkness and hissing smoke machines - perfect ingredients for an unforget- table strobelight serenade. Changing the mood entirely and cutting the tempo to a dublicious skank, 'Transmission Breakdown' sees Jona's experimental creative juices in full flow, as he teams up with Edinburgh-based digital com- poser and sound artist Dave House (aka The Reverse Engineer) for a delightfully hazy downtempo jam. Both as an artist and a DJ, Manchester's Marcus Intalex has been at the forefront of soulful, musical drum & bass for what seems like forever. A passion for techno has always run deeply through his music and under his Trevino moniker he is also a powerful creative force (check his recent 'Front' album to get the full picture). Here, he takes 'Transmission Breakdown' on a magical excursion, filled with subtle, hypnotic, evolving energy, anchored with an irresistible pul- sating bassline throb - a perfectly synergetic interpretation to round off Jona's 'Sidetracking' album prologue in style.

With a recent sell-out self-release from Telfort and a highly anticipated debut from Hi and Saberhägen on Huntleys + Palmers, the cast of this debut 12' sampler is as strong as Plutonian steel! Newcomer Philip Budny begins our journey with a crystalline aural interpretation of the waterfalls of Bali, ahead of Hi and Sabes' rhythmic raga. On the flipside is a meditative offering from Telfort, reminiscent of a smoky hangover after a rave in the dungeons of Kinshasa, before chief commanding officer Percy Main's finale zooms 50 years into Sheffield's funktopian future with a bumpy dancefloor robo-killer.

After kicking off with a delightfully classy deep house EP from Chicago's Strong Souls, D3 Elements - the label run by the same person as Vibes And Pepper Records - offers up its second EP, The Black 3 EP.
This one comes from another forgotten Chicago producer who shouldn't have ever been forgotten. His name is Brian Harden and he hasn't released anything since 2005. Before then he was a regular on the influential Moods & Grooves label, as well as Relief and and was also a part of the Strictly Jaz Unit crew and Nite Life collective.
First up, 'Qunu' is a ping ponging affair with spritely drums and springy percussion that dance about like a cat on a hot tin roof. Golden pads and a hooky melody phrases bring warmth and colour and it's a refreshingly odd combination. A2 'Days of Days' is a more cerebral and deep affair with wholly lush chords, gentle ticking percussion than pans around the airwaves and a squelchy bassline scurrying about down below. Light and airy at the same time as being married to a compelling groove, it's a master class in genuinely musical house.
Finally, 'Chicago to Detroit' takes up the whole of the flip side. This one is a mix between the percussive drive of the first and the deeper grooves of the second: chords are woozy, drum hits are kinetic and the bulbous bassline sounds pleasingly drunk as it rides up and down of its own accord.
Once again D3 has unearthed some fantastic deep house sounds from a lesser-known producer that everyone should really know about.

Having dabbled with lower tempos of house and techno in recent years on his Exit Records imprint and Convex Industries, dBridge's
4/4 alter ego 'Vevit' presents his debut EP for Electric Minds in the form of the 'Nudge EP' - where two varied cuts display his tactful
use of restraint and release for club tools which, if put in the right hands, can alter the state of play on the dancefloor.
The EP's lead offering 'Nudge' explores the dubbier regions of techno with vocal sample snippets prominent throughout that are
coupled with boisterous kick drums that give the track ample space to breathe. His focus on clinical drum programming and delayed
chords are skilfully here as they patiently ebb and flow throughout the entirety of the track's dramatic six-minute duration. On the b-
side he showcases his slightly more up-tempo sensibilities with quietly electrifying number 'The Act' which sees him turn up the
accomplished Electric Minds debut.
