clear vinyl pressing!
Soundtravels Recordings proudly presents "Point Of View Part 1". We have compiled six contemporary, electronic bombs from artists all around Europe.

For some we didn't have to travel that far though...

The Hagues Baz Reznik provided us with "Nightdrive To Stuttgart", a moody, sinister track with that typical raw Reznik sound and a melody that will stick in your head for days after you first heard it.

Amsterdam based Arctic Boogie boss Endfest came up with another killer, "Von Heijden En Verre". Almost ten minutes filled with frosty synths and arctic melodies, accompanied by an ever present, very sophisticated 303 which peaks halfway the track, shivers!

Our last, but not least, Dutch contributor is Rotterdam based Louis Guilliaume who you might know from several straight forward techno releases on various quality underground labels. "Promiscues" is a rough edged, energetic track which fits somewhere between Detroit techno and Dutch Westcoast elektronica. At the end of 2013 he will release the "Unknown Forces EP" on Soundtravels.

Okay, now we fly all the way over to Croatia for Le Chocolate Noir with "Futu.e Is B.ight". A short but powerful EBM track with vocals from the man himself. Dark industrial mechanics accompanied by a threathening bassline, but no need to worry... cause Futu.e is B.ight! In 2014 he will release his first EP on Soundtravels.

Next stop... Düsseldorf. After discovering Dircsen's tracks we definitely had to have him on board. The first result of that can be heard on his astonishing "Aspiration EP" (Soundtravels 003). This guy keeps on producing his solid, high quality electronics and shows us his love for the TB 303 machine in a brilliant way. "Exist" is actually a downtempo dubtechno track but off course it has a fierce 303 all over it. Timeless again. Early 2014 his second EP named "Acid Wheel EP" will be a fact.

New to our family is the Russian Neotnas. He makes his first appearance with "Rewind". Typical for his sound is that warm, organic feel all over his house and dubtechno productions. Very often accompanied by female vocals and it's almost like you hear somebody play a live instrument if you listen carefully. At the end of 2013 he will release his "Slow & Steady EP".

Mojuba is proud to bring you Sven Weisemann's new EP called Interlace Jitter. Packed with four new tracks delivering Sves'r very own trademark sound! The title track is a pumping dancefloor jam, while Sparkling will take you to poignant broken IDM scapes. The flipside features Motion Capture a DJ weapon causing both dancing feet and heartwarming feelings, it's accompanied by a complementary beat version.

Martin's Escape From South Warren LP will arrive on October 5th on the label operated by Frank Juncaj, AKA DJ 3000. Juncaj calls Martin an "unsung hero of Detroit techno" and cites his label, Teknotika Records, which has been running since 1993, as a key influence. The first remix EP, due out September 21st, features reworks by Robert Hood and DJ 3000 in addition to two original cuts. Mark Broom and Rolando contribute to the second EP, which arrives on October 12th.

Not all dance-floors are created equal. Some of them challenge the status-quo and require a certain kind of music. Introducing The Model's brand new Warehouse Traxx Pt.5 record - high-precision slamming beats. Crossing genres, with a great chance to become a modern classic.

Well, well ,well !

Our Teutonic chums come through once again with the secret selections you vinyl-junkies love to love !

House Master Boyz get ripped up, but this ain't Chicago and it ain't 1986 ! That classic Acid House refrain gets welded onto some distinctly brand new / retro sonics, an acid laced behemoth that's equal parts New Beat and strobe-lit proto House. Timeless & powerful floor food, and as such; equally at home in some Erol Alkan piloted stadium as it is in a stinky basement.

A quick flip and the JJ Jam swaps the faithful homage we found next door for a futuristic steppers workout. Roughly hewn stabs underpinned by some rib cage rattling low end registers

Last year's 'Precursors' EP from Eduardo De La Calle provided quite a curveball release for Cadenza Records, the Spanish DJ and producer who has recorded exclusively for his Analogue Solutions label in the past, turned out a warm and minimal release for Luciano's imprint, with all the flair and trademarks of Eduardo's studio prowess. Really though, Eduardo's approach to electronic music perfectly encapsulates the sound ethics of Cadenza; emotive, driving, long passages of deep rhythm, often focusing on the bare essentials of a track and enunciating these for an aural joyride. And so on his follow up, 'The Motorglider EP', Eduardo aims straight at the emotive jugular on opener 'Somewhere In Your Arms'. From its dusty opening bars, the track opens up with heart tugging melodies and pitch bending synths, the machines tweaking and turning whilst the micro grooves underpin a most wonderful track, oozing sheer class from a producer really finding his niche here. On the flip, 'Altar De Sacrificio' goes fathoms deep, coming across like some John Carpenter film score, the heavy arped bass-line creating a real dense mood, only to be broken by dramatic and melancholic stabs. 'Broken Bonus' wraps up a highly memorable release; filtering drums and blankets of lush pads and faint keys condensed into a simple 2:30 skit.

We Make Releaseinfo After the glorious release of his first studio album 'Disconnect to Connect' in 2013, Steven Tang is back with another lovely package of Hitec-Soul. Inspired by his new residency in Berlin the Chicago-native builds up three highly grooving sound seducers which will be part of his live set at Panorama Bar on May 31st . Join Steven Tang at leaving the physical world!

On Uncanny Valley's catalogue number 18 we finally welcome back Credit 00 who is a man in charge of a decent collection of those dusty machines we all love. After the ice cold "The Living Room Life EP" from 2012, his brand new record "Ice Cream" is easy to fall in love with. Packed with tunes to suit various moods in life, it will be a faithful companion in dark basements or lonesome hours. "Ice Cream" starts deliciously with its sleazy sample choice. With the distinctive drum work it builds up to a true Chicago-inspired dance floor banger. "Round n Round" hits hard with a harsh kick and cowbell action before it shows off slightly melancholic lead synths and a subtle but effective bass line and puts the emphasis on the fact that things go round and round. Life's a dizzy affair. "East Of Nowhere" with THAT bass line-sound is Credit 00 to the core. And with spooky synths he puts you to an east of nowhere-place where you will lose yourself in manic trance-like dancing. The record ends with "Red Wine", a slightly different electronic love song sung by Credit 00. The cover artwork was created by Alexander Dorn.

* Brooklyn newcomer J. Albert preps his long awaited solo debut for Australian label Cult Trip.
* His first offering: 'Vertigo Contracto', a cut-throat late night jam, showcases an onslaught of violent stabs which override
intricate hi -hat work and a menacing kick.

Spencer Parker's ever reliable Work Them imprint unleash the remixes of Radio Slave's "Werk" track from label stalwart Sven Von Thülen as well as stand out mixes from London's own Dan Beaumont and White Materials DJ Richard.

AFTER FANTASTIC RELEASE BY TOMMY FINGER JR WE
PROUDLY PRESENT YOU A GREAT TALENT FROM RUSSIA!
KIRILL DELIVERS 4 AMAZING TRACKS - THIS RELEASE IS A MUST HAVE!

Phoenix Knight was born in May 1992 at the infamous Castlemorton free festival slap bang in the middle of Digs & Woosh's now legendary set on the DiY Soundsystem.

Hand reared on Strictly Rhythm and Henry Street joints specially imported from the US East Coast, he soon became well acquainted with the skippy high hats, offbeat snares and wailing vocals of the emerging nineties Deep House sound.

After settling in the UK's musical answer to Chicago...Nottingham, he spent the next few years of his childhood being dragged around many of the area's underground house events in quarries, fields, moors and warehouses staged by free party warriors Smokescreen, Spoof, Giddy Fruit, Quadrant and many others.

However, after consuming far too many party cabbages, a group of local house producers decided that an intervention was necessary, placing young Phoenix in a stasis, of which he only reappeared from recently.

Upon his reawaking, Phoenix was under house arrest, with his only company being some classic house tools of the trade. The SP1200, TR909, S3000XL, Juno 106, and JV1080 may or may not have been used during the creation of his subsequent works, produced during this period of enforced captivity.

Purpose, Musical Integrity, Limitless Depth & Fearless Exploration are the basic principals for timeless music, and are the focus of Aesthetic Audio. Listen to ''No Look Back, and it's all there within this wonderful 4 tracker. Hailing from Marseilles, France, Aesthetic Audio proudly introduces the artist, Life Recorder ...

Luigi Giomini and Massimiliano Miele aka Marsupials have come a long way since their debut on Seven Music in late 2014, delivering a string of original content since via the likes of Large Music Scucci Manucci, Dabit, and Black Key Records. Here, the duo push on by joining the roster of Kerri Chandler's Madhouse Records yet another substantial step forward for the rising duo.

Title cut 'Gotta Get You' kicks things off and sees Giomini and Miele provide an atmospheric deep house workout with crunchy rhythms, stirring pad lines, wandering stab sequences and weighty doses of sub bass.

'Quilb' follows and takes things into deeper realms with a loose rhythmic swing, bubbling background synth tones and dubby chord hits, while closing piece 'Hot Donuts' rounds off the package on a gritty stripped back tip laying the focus on weighty drums and soaring chord progressions. Marsupials offer up something both classic and elegant with the 'Gotta Get You' EP making it a perfect fit for the Madhouse catalogue..

­e, Tale of Us, Scuba, Tensnake, Wankelmut, Kyodai and a few others. It
has just entered the DMC Buzz Charts on #2!. The originals and the Simon

DJ Yellows real name Alain Ho has been around for ages. When he met Chris
(Bob Sinclar) in the early 90's during a night out, things took a turn.
They started their label Yellow Productions in 1993, to critical acclaim.
An underground label at first, it was perhaps Yellow's search for
personality and his ear for quality that opened the door to a colourful
palette of signings, that included artists as diverse as Dimitri From
Paris, Kid Loco, Bang Bang, Joe Claussel, Salome de Bahia and of course Bob
Sinclar himself, all of which have helped to shape the French sound, as it
is today. After a decade of fruitful cooperation and dedication to helping
other people's careers, Yellow finally decided to begin Poussez Music in
2003, as an outlet for his own sounds, and that of his close friends,
including King Britt, Kenny Larkin, and Josh Wink, amongst others. The
label has shone more than ever in 2007. Through three projects, Alienation
(instrumental), Intermission (vocals) and Paule (non-dance), Yellow has
created a wide canvas to push his diverse sounds and inspirations into the
world. After six hypnotizing Alienation releases through Poussez, Yellow
completes the series in 2007 with a grand finale through invitations on
Plastic City, Josh Wink's respected Ovum Records, the prestigious Morrison
Recordings, Slipen Side Records, Ibadan Records and Deep Focus, featuring
a special rework from no other than Deep Dish's Dubfire.

Montreal's Flowers And Sea Creatures have been building a formidable
reputation since their debut EP 'Test Pressing' in September 2010. Together
with the follow-up 'A.M' in Feb 2011 and their full release album in 2011,
they have been turning some serious heads in both the electronic
underground and the alt-rock overground. They deliver a deeply atmospheric
and cinematic sound - Graham Baxter's vocals and crystalline acoustic
guitars riding over Kosta Megalos' atmospheric synth work. Baxter was born
in Belfast and Megalos was born in Athens and both immigrated to Montreal
with their respective families in their youth. The two met in the 1990s and
they started writing together and playing the local bar scene while always
working away at writing their blend of acoustic and electronic original
music. Record deals nearly came and mostly went and it was in the early
2000s that the duo began in earnest writing the exploratory music that
would become Flowers And Sea Creatures staple. Baxter had decided drop the
vocals in favour of their new instrumental direction. Ironically however,
it was an instrumental track that caught the ear of Buzzin' Fly label boss,
Ben Watt but Watt, although impressed with the music, thought the track
needed a vocal. Ultimately Baxter sang on the track leading to their
signing with BuzzinFly. To date the duo have collaborated with Ewan
Pearson, Fred Everything, The Revenge and Ytre Rymden
Dansskola.Inspirations include Chet Baker, Bowie, BjEverything But The
Girl, Giorgio Moroder, The Art of Noise, Kraftwerk, The Cure.

Fast forward to 2012 and it's hard to believe that KMS is still releasing records. With such a long history, what better way to celebrate than to release a special CD Boxset. The 'KMS 25th Anniversary Classics' will be released on CD, Digital (and for those vinyl collectors, there will be 6 x 12' Samplers). Each format includes a plethora of gems which have been released on KMS over the last 25 years.
KMS may be celebrating it's 25th Anniversary, but there's no slowing down for Kevin Saunderson. He's still producing, remixing and djing (all over the world). Here's to the next 25 years....
