Broquade 031 features none other than Dana Ruh. Something a little bit different than her last Brouqade venture. This time bringing a classic House vibes to keep our hearts warm as things begin to cool down. We open with "Mawan" a beatless percussion based track with beautiful vox that speak to us as musical poetry. Fred P's Reshape of "Mawan" brings the thump while still bringing a classic Deep House flavor with dubby pads and classic piano notes. It's sure to liven up the dance floor while still keeping the poetic and beautiful vibe of the original. Lastly we have "Blue Moon" this time a more dance floor ready track. In this one Dana mixes elements of Deep House and Techno together flawlessly creating an extremely nice spaced out groove.

I first heard this track played by the legendary Huggy from Back to Basics in Leeds. I remember being stood at the bar at Space, Bar Rumba with Kenny (Hawkes)...We were mid-conversation and I remember him stopping mid flow and literally running to the DJ booth.
Now Kenny wasn't one for making public displays of excitement, and to be honest, I think this was the only time I ever witnessed it. But it floored him. He raved and raved on about it. Bought copies for me, and himself, over and over. I personally think it was the record that defined his sound and his style and sent him off on a mission...And the train sounds, well, those that knew him, knew what that led to......
It was his signature and his sound, and if there is one record that both Derrick and myself couldn't be more honoured to re-release as a testament to his legacy, a record that defined Kenny as a DJ, and a record that keeps that light shining, then it's this one. Viva the Dark Lord.

New York City, USA, 2014. A community filled with amazing shit and amazingly fucked up shit. This Yin Yang is an ever-present part of life, and it is this contradiction that Isaac Basker seeks to take on with Swishin' & Dishin,' his sophomore release on Play It Say What Records.

On A1, 'Swishin' & Dishin',' Isaac references NYC basketball legend, Walt 'Clyde' Frazier to define the city's Yin. Starting off like a certified banger; a simple 'bleep' blasts the track over a thumping kick and rhythmic percussion, as if attacked by a penetrating crossover dribble. Yet Isaac then drops his trademark melodic chords to turn the track into an authentic deep house groove.


With A2 Plan B Recordings boss DJ Spider provides his latest remix for Isaac, helming 'Swishin' & Dishin' (DJ Spider Mix).' The original is then obliterated into his classic raw, deep sound. Hard kicks, obscure female vocals, hats and snares form the basis of the track as we then get slowed chords to tease us until deeper sounds and syncopated percussion elevate the listeners mood before bringing the track back to the remix's original rawness.


B1, 'Slumlord Billionaires (5Pointz Of Light Mix),' Swishin' & Dishin's most dance floor friendly track, takes on the Yang of the city, using the to be demolished graffiti mecca 5Pointz as a point of reference. Yet, this is an uplifting build up banger of a track emphasizing human resilience in the face of doom. Booming drums start the song off until a single fluttering melodic chord drops. Then syncopated claps, and vocal hits arrive challenging 'the powers that be' to further enhance the song's call for dance floor resistance.



Then there is 'American't.' With B2 Isaac, takes dark analog keys and syncopated techno sensibilities over a simple eerie baseline to further emphasize the Yang. A manipulated vocal later emphasizes this further and another layer of angry, reflective keys drive the operatic finale of this definite New York release.

First release on AC-EXP. Anonymous artist. Limited edition 10"

Tomorrow Is Now, Kid! returns just in time for summer with a collection of tracks taken from a reel of tape. In My Ghetto is the debut EP of Anthony Brooklyn, who has crafted four jams in spirit of the roughness of New York City's famous borough, Brooklyn.

In the lead up to his debut solo album the Ten Thousand Yen label boss returns home with four essential cuts, with two vocal features from LA's Seven Davis Jr. The EP is led by 'What's It Gonna Be' which is already picking up early love in the clubs and on radio by the likes of Annie Mac & Skream. From the disco-charged drive of 'Together' to house/acid/techno morph 'Ghost Text' to the R&B lean of 'I Promise', the From Mine To Mistress EP is a diverse collection of tunes that really show off Daneeka's varied production style.

Prime Numbers & Trus'me once again compile some of their best vinyl releases from the last 12 months onto one essential 12 track CD.

Featured are a selection of recent Trus'me remixes from the likes of Mosca, Skudge & Alan Fitzpatrick alongside some handpicked tracks from Prime Numbers highly regarded EP series.
Two tracks from the diverse artist Adesse start us off. 'Metachemistry' is a fabulous blend of esoteric chugging jazz augmented by reedy vibes. Whilst 'Baayi' is a superbly deep & warm house production with metronomic wood blocks, organic keys, swinging drums & sublime vocal samples.

R&S records' Truss is featured with his fantastic slice of raw classic techno in 'Redbrook' which is also joined by Fred P's remix taking the track into a whirlpool of beautifully crafted jazz'd tech house in true Black Jazz Consortium style.
Massimo Di Lena steps up with 'You Better Hear', an off kilter mélange of cut up acidic bass moves & dissonant drums under hypnotic vocals. XDB brings his remix of this with a linear & subtle techno construction of bleeps & distant keys.
Adesse adds to the mix again with his insistent 'Unititled Love', a homage to early 90's garage productions with whip hard snares & swirling vocal hook.

Added to these are five remixes of Trus'me tracks from his album 'Treat Me Right'. Mosca takes the now classic 'Somebody' into a deep & bass heavy corner as only he can. Truncate makes 'Its Slow' sound like a lost Dance Mania release.
Alan Fitzpatrick beefs up 'I Want You' with all the right anthemic ingredients creating a bonafide top of the night future classic.
'Moonlight Kiss' is treated to the Skudge touch who turn out a warm house'd up rollout in their inimitable fashion.
Finally French master Marcelus hightens the tension of 'Hindsight' stripping back the original to its bare essentials.

This collection perfectly represents the diversity and direction of the Prime Numbers label and includes the pick of their vinyl releases over the past year.

Frank FM made the detroitish, chordish and housy two-tracker mtd.003
- motion sense + can't let you go' some years ago. After this pausing now
he is back with more deep techno and techhouse up to real detroit techno
sound on his mtd.010 - foreign affairs ep'. He builds a spatial and
slightly spherical up to a powerful sound - building a bridge to his
former release. The three tracks are telling a little story about a love
affair in a foreign country. The background photo could be an out of focus
shot by a private investigator. The first track - glossy lips' represents
the female side - a slowly upbuilding deep chordish techhouse track with
an unsteady rhythm and sub-bass. This positive atmosphere grows with
- smooth deepness' - which speaks for itself, but it also comes with chords
and a straight beat beside the liquid techno sound which raises up and
down again to ease the listener diving in a cosmos. Finally - want you
back' with frantic random chords and a faster and harder detroit techno
rhythm - describing the wish to get somebody back. This track ties in with
the Frank FM sound - back to his roots' of his first release on melted
recordings.

Hamburg duo Hauke Freer and Matthias Relling aka Session Victim return to Delusions of Grandeur with their second long player, 'See You When You Get There'. Right from the start it's clear Session Victim's way with a groove hasn't diminished in the two years since their debut album, 2012's 'The Haunted House of House'. 'Do It Now' and 'Hey Stranger' open the record with the duo's trademark blend of subtle sampling, gloriously swinging beats and the same off-kilter sensibility that consistently raises them above their modern disco peers. The new album marks a conscious progression in Freer & Relling's approach, evolving the sample-based production style that's won them plenty of fans since their emergence in 20











12. Outro

Alex Blaxx drops three original tracks for Dessous Recordings following a couple of very well received releases on Buzzing Fly and Sccucci Manucci. Blaxx now resides in Manchester by way of Cape Town - both cities with strong house music credentials. Blaxx himself excels in lush house productions with plenty of soul and a lot of dance floor knowledge. The EP's title track 'It's Been Done Before' gives a healthy nod to the hugely fertile period of New York house in the 1990s, but retains a freshness and spark that sets it apart from many of his contemporaries. It's highly musical and organic, with hugely effective hooks, builds and pads that will bring smiles to the faces of dancers worldwide. 'Gilmore Heureux' is a darker affair, with a raw evolving groove with a Detroit flavor. It's got plenty of grit, and a few innovative twists and turns along the way. 'All the Difference' slows the pace slightly, unwinding a killer groove driven by a piano and punchy drums. About midway through a sublime synth bass joins the fray, and the track lifts off into the ether.

The Stuttgart papi Michel Baumann alias Soulphiction aka Jackmate presents three new power generators on - Treat Your Dj Right' equipped with the right measure of steam and courage. On Halios EP he's getting the juices flowing, however manifested as a compulsion to move. Beyblade' is a glossily illuminated, sensory-enhanced modern club production which shows that Chicago and Detroit could be sister cities, in the heart of Trollinger-Town! Juan is soaked with pure chi-town pads, and applied, frenetic subterranean bass. Through a fully conscious, shifting rhythm and hi-hat that whispers as if a drum is being stroked with a brush, it manages a compelling groove. Length doesn't play a role here, answering the question of why anything should be extended when the moment of euphoria has been reached. Sunbeams demonstrates how a 'whitey' can produce the same velvety, soulful sound of black music, and with the same understanding to boot.

New M1 sessions featuring the work of DJ Dez, aka Dez Andres, or to most known as simply Andres- who has been on a roll this year with his hit record 'New For U.' Dez blurs genres like no other from hip hop to house and all the dirty funk in between!

Limited edition 12".

House music is a broad artform. Over each release we will be exploring the infinite possibilities within this genre. Using the EP as a story-telling canvas we hope to create a breeding ground and network for disparate artists from various countries.

Hazylujah's follow up to his Delsin EP is inspired by the works of Alejandro Jodorowsky and Carlos Castaneda. The EP title is a quote from Heraclitus translated today, a criticism of people who ignore the flow of reality.

Enter Hazylujah's desert world first through Get Mezcla, a propulsive windswept rhythm box and otherworldly dream-noise precede a tlapitzalli flute melody. Mystical vocals become layered amongst a tumbling arrangement, progressing and perfecting its existence.

Acqua Amara's subtlety builds from a breath to a wilderness of indigenous birds. Synthetic harmonies form a makeshift Hacienda, before an undulating bassline and imaginary pianos complete the settlement.

How Can You Hide From What Never Goes Away Lights a fire. Native strings and flutes dance out of time making a connection to paradise.

On High In Translucent Tomorrows steps through the calendar door to the new unknown, a multicoloured system of pipes erupt and a magical bass tone flowers. The shaman's prayer completes the divination.

"My Own Transition" has to be one of our favourite techno tracks in recent years. Since it's release three years ago, it has stick with us in a really special way. Having known Eduardo for years, and given that many people couldn't get a copy of the original release, we though it would be a good idea to ask him about repressing it. He quickly accepted, giving us the chance to re-master the track and give it a well deserved second life. The track itself is a classic Detroit techno composition, but with Eduardo's signature brittle melodic progressions and spiritual atmospheres. As a matter of fact, Eduardo himself explains that the track was inspired by his "bhakti yoga studies in an Ashram based in Spain", with the "transition" of the title being "the journey between life and death". Maybe that's the reason why the track has such an emotional strength. The release comes in a single-sided 12" with artwork by Arnau Pi. This will be a vinyl-only release.
