JIN’s 2nd EP storms out the gate with Hong Kong’s finest Mr. Ho. The Klasse Wreck’s head honcho boss drops three originals.

A1 “Holy Smokes” is a slow-motion, acid-flavored chugger, making one feel like snake-rolling through Hong Kong’s urban jungle. B1 “Not Good with Others,” a no BS bassy and bossy track, swings with a filthy kick from the get-go. The EP finishes with B3 “Emo Springs”, which blends futuristic jungle, tribal, house, and juicy basslines into a must-get dance floor heater.

Added are two sonic-weapon-remixes:

On A2 UK OG duo Dawl & Sween hits all the cylinders with mean breakbeat banger remix of “Holy Smokes.” On B2 Hong Kong’s 宀 Club’s music curator Sunsiaré runs “Emo Spring” through an electrifying old school jungle reshape, leaving all buzzed by his sonic assault.

Following his debut Third Ear release, the Shonky ep in 2018, Third Ear follow up with 8 more Shonky dance floor bombs. Shonky has a signature hypnotic, hard grooving sound, characterised by punishing beats laced with detailed polyrhythms and elusive motifs. On The Run is Shonky's debut album.

Big Beat 2023! How does it sound? Bigger & better then ever! The prophet Eden Burns does not stop to share his beats with all you out there. Help him spread the message, the dance floors of the world will thank you for it. Beat moves feet, feet do dance, dance is joy, joy is life!

Tunisia based Jihed Monser aka HearThug swaggers aboard Sex Tapes From Mars for the wax-only label’s fourth release; a robotic excursion into gritty, tongue in cheek vocoder, bolstering acid lines and vintage pad swoons.

Heading straight for the dancefloor, it opens with “Computerized Souls”, going notably heavy on the drums and low-end, with acid madness at the forefront and alien sounding melodies enabling the eeriness.

“Generation Of Robots”, is flooded with sci-fi melodies, retro B-boy references and rinsed-out,16-bit, bouncing unfettered tones.

On the flip, “Buzz! Look An Alien (Oh No - No Mix)” neatly fits either the warm up or early hours, filling the low-key, understated spaces it reaches with plenty of esoteric colour and character.

“The Dreams Let You Die” is a poignant closer, sampling Angelo Badalamenti’s iconic Twin Peaks theme to maximal effect. It’s full of moody bass melodies and exquisite, chugging percussion, marking a slinky finale to a highly versatile and

On a hot streak Danny Wolfers is knocking out Jewel after Jewel at the minute. After his gargantuan album for Clone comes this knock out blow for UTTU.
Star Gazing is just as space-stradling as the title suggests, off-key, offworld discords colliding with breakbeats and detroitian atmospherics, intricate electronics, the burblings of a robot examining the earth of an alien world, before huge bass enters the party.
Visions In My Mind is Legowelt's take on the disco-tech vibe, Wayfaring Stranger completes the picture, a slamming acid jacker!

Klasse Wrecks' first release of 2023 comes storming out of the gate, hot on the tail of Mr. Ho's previous album and his collaborative 'Eu-Li' EP with Mogwaa. 'Angel Number 909' is a collection of three versions of one track, the over-riding element in the EP is an incessant and catchy acidic synthline that bounds across racketing breakbeats and galloping basslines. Alongside the 'US Breaks' version is an old school influenced 'Acid House' version as well as a moodier 'House' mix. Three pedigree tracks that will be sure to go the distance on any dancefloor...

First ever release on the brand new label Serenity Now kick things off presenting the first ever EP by p1LL!

Even though this is the first EP as a solo artist, p1LL is very far from a newcomer.

In the mid 90s p1LL kept himself busy dj:ing and producing a lot of electronic music from his bedroom studio out of Santa Monica, where he even produced two tracks for an unreleased album by Seal. Most of this music stayed on hard drives and never came out.

Today, Serenity Now presents “The Other Side EP”, which consist of four songs produced between 1996-98.
Versatile and quirky, yet straight forward club music that really do have a stand out sound, while at the same time a sound so contemporary that it’s hard to think they were actually made almost thirty(!) years ago.

The record really kicks off and sets the tone right with the deep and bouncy “Touch My Soul”, where spacey keys and pads moves around in a pumping, futuristic soundscape. Moving on further we head over to “Think Things Over” for some straight forward, loopy and tech-y vibes that really makes it go off.

On the flip we start off with the track “Deep Inside My Mind”. - A full on, tripped out deep house excursion into soundscapes filled with whispering voices, bubbly bass-lines, punchy snares and intricate melodies that keep the driving energy intact.

Finally, we have “Break Free” as the perfect “end of the night”-track filled with euphoric energy. Heavy drums are accompanied by warm stabs and catchy breakdowns where some “good sleaze” piano solos.
All in all, what we have here is the perfect blend of tracks for all sorts of moments of the night. A very special record that really do stand out and will probably sound as good in thirty more years ahead.

Repress.

When did we write these songs? How long did we let them collecting digital dust before we decided to put them out? Memory is a difficult thing these days. But thanks to Swedish saxophone virtuoso Kristian Harborg these two songs suddenly re-surfaced, with new relevance and purpose. Taladitionalists will hear a familiar sound, as we stick to deep & dubby Kraut disco, fine-tuned for intimate stadiums yet again. Can a song be too long? Let’s find out! Thanks for listening.

John Talabot & Axel Boman

Second release from Mahres ’s sister. More DJ friendly this time with Corsican wolf, Charlou and his new beat style track, respected Italian producer Saverio Celestri with his new alias.

On the logo side, ghost producer, Sektor, delivers a full of groove track with haunted synths and last one by the young promising artist, Phase O’Matic.

For his debut album Dip Shim digs deep into his past for his most personal release yet, drawing on his childhood in Spain for a genre-bending album of electronics, combining influences from house, techno, electro, downtempo, and ambient to create one of the year’s most essential releases.

Dip Shim, who also runs the Bolero record store in Malmo, Sweden, pushes and tweaks those silver boxes to create music with one foot in the past but looking to the future, from the fluid acid house of Dalaplan Jam and Bubble Gate, uptempo electro jams like BDP Fast Life and Tusso Arcade Force, to meditative joints such as One For Regen and Impossible Connection.

But although the album is eclectic, these 12 tracks are underpinned by Dip Shim’s unique hardware-led sound, proving he’s an artist with depth and longevity.

Groove: Das hat einfach Klasse, wie Andy Vaz mit den Codes und Traditionen von Hause hantiert, Einflüsse Kombiniert und Schnittstellen baut um am Ende doch wieder etwas ganz eigenes schafft. Das macht er eigentlich immer schon, aber im Albumformat trennt sich die Spreu bekanntlich vom Weizen. Straight Vacationing sein nunmehr zweites Studioalbum, hat nichts mit Spreu zu tun, ganz klar. So lässig, jazzig und sophisticated er Anektdoten von Detroit anbringt, so ungezwungen und unzweifelhaft schwebt ein Nimbus der Glaubwürdigkeit über jedem einzelnen seiner Tracks. Ein Hauch Acid,

eine Prise Disco: House erscheint hier als verdichtete Verwachsung seiner Wurzelstränge. Das zeigt bereits - Detroit in me', die einleitende

Nummer des Albums. Oldschool ist King, Klar. Aber trotz der präzisen Justierung des Rückspiegels bleibt da ein Rest, oder besser: Ein Überschuss

an Futurismus, der kein Verfallsdatum kennt. Acht Tracks, besessen von einem Funk, der an eben der Stelle geboren wurde, so sich die Zukunft an der Vergangenheit Reibt. Grobkörnig, abstrakt und beseelt. Für alle, die es nicht mitbekommen haben oder Reviews immer nur auf ein griffiges Fazit hin überfliegen: I fucking Like!

Hypnohouse returns with its second release by Corp and Saverio Celestri with 4 of their signature retrofuturistic sounds. Save it in da bag!

LA based, London found label all my thoughts join forces with FLAU of Tokyo for a collaborative release, featuring FLAU label founder aus, who producers original cut 'Until Then', with Seb Wildblood stepping up to remix the track. The release represents an exchange of sounds and perspectives and is the first collaboration of its kind for both labels.

The original works from aus arrives as a rich blend of instrumentation coming from a plethora of global influences. Unique vocals partner with deep synth swells and a chugging percussive groove. The vocals — recorded, destructed and re-synthesised — point to his interest in language as the track, tropical and floating as it is dark and distorted, engines forward.

Seb Wildblood follows upping the energy with rolling hi hats and added synth work before sprinkling a dusting of acid as the remix evolves further onto the dance floor.

Brian Kage’s fourth release on Michigander Music “303 in the 313 EP” features 4 uniquely gritty and acid-soaked manifestations of mid 90’s Detroit. This exercise in analog monosynth mastery directly connects the grittiness of the urban landscape with the raw spirit of creative freedom.

Detroitasaurus starts the record off with a subtle prehistoric soundscape, steadily building rhythmic tension using hypnotic toms and melodic drum patterns. Razor sharp 909 hats hammer down there through the sonic mist as the journey continues to build. Shrieking jurassic trumpets cap off each of the peaking climbs to reveal metallic broken-down structures that are bound together with oscillating 303 threads and a grooving bassline.

Van Dyke Vessel features an atmosphere of textured percussion and metallic analog synths that wind around a deep square bass groove. Suddenly, truncated growling vocal samples start to collect into the catchy phrase “Let’s take this to outer space”. Swelling pads give way to squealing acid as this track transports dancers to a nostalgic melodic dimension.

Delray Dance undulates with thick bass slowly building into a body focused groove as it winds up and gives way to a rugged 303 saw with fluttering Spanish style synth stabs. Classic Detroit pads continue to swell, adding to the tension and leaving enough sonic space for melodic mixes in and out. This tune is the perfect tool to transition between genres.


Zonin breaks the mold by combining old-school electro vibes with a heavy dose of acid and freestyle hip hop. Heavy broken beats are combined with a rockin’ nostalgic bassline and layered party vocals that transports you to the center of the dancefloor on the best night you’ve ever had.

Arnau Obiols und KAYYAK haben sich erst letztes Jahr über ihre Freundinnen kennengelernt, die zufälligerweise Schwestern sind. Wie man sich vorstellen kann, dauerte es nicht lange, bis sich die beiden Schwäger zum ersten Mal im Studio trafen – begleitet vom Schweizer Bassist Jules Martinet, mit Vocals des südafrikanischen Sängers B’utiza und des mosambikanischen Sängers Tcheco (Teil der legendären Band Ghorwane, Real World Records).

Die Energie wurde während der Produktion der Songs zum Leben erweckt und resultierte in zwei großartige Originale. Folkloristische Tradition in moderner Komposition, akustischen Drums, Percussion mit Acid-Elementen, Echo-Feedback und psychedelischen Klängen, alles durchdrungen mit funky Basslines.

Zusätzlich gewannen sie Kalabrese und MLiR, auf der B-Seite ihre Remix-Künste beizutragen. Beides Künstler, die Arnau und Kay besonders am Herzen liegen.

Chicago legends Robert Armani & Paul Johnson's seminal Traxmen project is finally getting the reissue treatment from Anotherday.

Warning these trax are RAW. Relentless Chicago Techno and Ghetto House pressed as they were meant to sound 4 acidic, hissing drum machine workouts by two of the originators.

Part 3 of 3

After revealing some of the mystery tracks with their second release from the unknown producer △, third installation on Moscow’s record label Exarde is coming to you from Slovenia. Four compositions are crafted with a proper use of analogue gear such as well-known Roland’s drum machines with them grooves and a lovely fat «moogy» basslines.

As the story goes, they were made right between the years 2018-2019 and has started just as a part of the first ever live act of the artist. After a few tweaks 3 scenes became separate tracks and began their journey to the vinyl, then with the addition of the one home jam recording — Nidark EP was complete for your listening pleasure.

Nothing will stop the globalization of rave? An independent Moscow label continues to answer this question - and invites a very busy person, this time from Italy, to show and tell why the answer is always yes.

Riccardo's can be an example for many artists both musically and in terms of productivity. Co-founder of Imprints Records and the owner of Metropolita, Amazing Stories, and Elma Rivaga, he has composed 4 floor compositions under his new alias - Trascend∆nce. These compositions he calls "energetic and hopeful to dance again” and he definitely didn't bend the truth with that statement.

The FunkyJaws Music label invites us deep into their world for a third time here with another delicious 12".It's a various artists EP that features one of our top disco favourites - Eddie C. He opens up with 'Do You Wanna Dance' which has vocals pacing about the mix and old school acid bass twangs under raw house drums. Elado's '25.4 Millimeters' is a Middle Eastern funk workout with spangled drum hits and the flip side brings twisted acid disco and the cosmic trip that is 'In Your Ear With It' from Funkyjaws themselves.

The genre re-defining chameleons of Hard Ton are back on Schrödinger’s Box with their own brand of style splitting acid house disco. Bigger is Better, a double EP album, has all the depravity and drama you would expect from these disruptors. “Waking Up The House” melts claps, cowbells and vocals over a molten melody. Bold stabbing keys are central to “The Right Thing”, lyrics spiralling skyward as a bitter acid line pulls the track down into the sweaty pit of the club. That TB303 goes into overdrive for the wonderfully demonic hedonism of “Bypass My Love.” Two-stepping jack is given a voice thanks to the breathy words of Josh Caffe as fanfare rains. The understated “Let Yourself Go” is a distant cousin of the bawdy and brutish “I Know A Bitch”, the heavy bass and cutting samples of the finale recalling the basement bruisers of Chicago.

Jackson Ryland comes in focused and ecstatic with his first vinyl release under his technoid alias JR2K. Jackson is based in Washington DC as one-half of both Superabundance and Rush Plus. He’s recently released on Peach Discs and Pleasant Life, showcasing his knack for presenting energy as a delicacy. JR2K “Walking Backward” is another illustrious highlight in the savvy DC producer’s already-accomplished underground career. Played on Hör Radio by Kush Jones and supported by Peach, Ciel, Clarisa Kimskii, Ryan Elliott, CMD, Davis Galvin, livwutang, Furtive, Golden Medusa, Lychee, Miley Serious, and Jialing!

The A side opens up whooshy and hard with “ExoGeni Approach”. This illustrates perfectly what I love about Jackson’s style(s)...it sounds like the sickest mid-90s techno track, full of energy and movement while taking in the atmosphere with repose. After the rollercoaster intro, the acidic up-ticks, lush synth layering, and perfectly crunchy closed-hats sink your ass straight through the dance-floor to tumbling free-for-all in the green-screen collage of your daydreams. Wake up…A2 “Call Back” splashes you with a glass of refreshing water…you still got hours at the party, and you’re coming up on some healthE shit…time to get back to that business of dancing your soles and soul away to this driving monorail of euphoric acidic techno. Choo choo choose your own dance destiny, baby!

Off The Grid christens its record label with a first release composed by very close people to the heart of its functioning. On the A1 we find a melancholic optimist house cut, made in collaboration by Ancut, head-mastering engineer from Analogcut, and Onirik, OTG’s head honcho. A2 features Onirik’s solo offering, a trippy dreamy off kilter cut, ideal for warm-up or early hours. The B-side belongs to Views, already responsible for a couple of releases on Garage Hermétique, one of the founding labels of Off The Grid, who wraps up two tracks full of atmospherical punchiness, clubby IDM, with his signature acid basslines and storytelling.

Since its inception in 2019, Beartrax’s Melodize imprint has consistently pushed deep, musical house and techno with contributions from John Tejada, Fort Romeau, Carl Finlow, and many more standing alongside Beartrax’s original productions throughout the label’s back catalogue.

Leading the sixth release, ‘Phantom Night’ sees haunted atmospherics nestled amongst ethereal synth licks, before a cinematic violin takes centre stage. Johannes Albert’s remix peppers elements of the original with slick acid lines and punchy drums, re-imagining the dramatic violin for a fresh and highly entertaining take.

On the flip, the uplifting ‘Valor’ runs through a series of modulating basslines, glistening pads, and sizzling drums, topped off with a majestic cello performance throughout.

Rounding out the release, Lauer adds rubbery low end, floating keys, and hands-in-the air piano stabs to ‘Valor’ for a high-energy end to another stellar EP from Melodize.

Fio Fa is back with another release exploring his finely tuned approach to effortlessly rolling, yet playful pumpers that have become characteristic of his sound. This time on his new imprint Sunset Drifters, the label launches with 4 devious dancefloor cuts that solidify his sonic relationship with the sounds of early dance music. Straightforward yet effective, the EP merges his many inspirations - the dynamic drums & flecks of acid in proto-house, the rolling basslines of progressive, and the mini melodies and synth stabs of EBM and early rave.

We start our journey on a ride through the Turquoise Kingdom - a track that pumps & pouts. The bassline skips playfully between a short acid line, while sassy whistles light the way. We are guided to a moment with familiar samples from a classic, given a tasteful touch. This sample is carefully placed for a hit of nostalgia as we switch gears - going full speed towards Dash the bouncer. A held note keeps the anticipation high while building the drums to a frenzy. A task in tension building, the mood is sneaky & scheming. The tension continues to tower over us before we encounter the final boss. The b (boss) side begins with Enter The Turtle; strutting in at sultry o-clock, it is a provocative yet punchy prance in prog paradise. The release culminates with title track Sunset Drifters - a euphoric release, channelling the continuity of the modern progressive pulse. A stunning choice for sunrise or sunset, the captivating & catchy melody resolves into elation, bringing us a feeling that one would associate with their best moments

Revered bossman Nonentity takes the Source Material back to its roots with this firing new EP on hand-stamped and numbered 10".

The drums too are hefty and the squelchy bass rounds out this instant electro classic.

It's a two-tracker that is well worth adding to your aural assault arsenal.

Utter presents The Jaffa Kid’s ‘Acid Raver’ on 2xLP housed in a smiley sleeve with bonus perforated acid tab sheet.

While The Jaffa Kid - real name Daniel Pringle - has been releasing music since the mid 2000’s, he has recently become a man possessed, relentlessly and unceremoniously uploading over 50 albums to Bandcamp since 2019. Prolific is an understatement.

‘Acid Raver’ was recorded in 2019 during what Pringle describes as a ‘two week acid bender’ and is part of an ongoing series of 303-based experiments. With BPMs varying from the 120s up to the 150s, the tracks collected here touch on a variety of acidic styles from the stripped-back and hypnotic to full-blooded jacking fist-pumpers, then on up to all-out squelching pandemonium. Aciiieeed!

Mastered and cut by Helmut Erler at D&M, Berlin in 2020.

Limited to 303 hand-numbered copies :)

In the very depth of Rummelsburg the one has arisen. And his name was Franzis Skanner. Him and his accomplices are meant to change the world. Forever.

Anyone familiar with the work of HDSN has seen him making big waves leading the line so brilliantly for his own imprint NUTHIN BUT A SOUL THING over the course of it´s twelve physical releases. If you heard his most recent EP ‘Break Ups 2 Make Ups”’ or the outstanding debut release "We Must Protect This House” on his new sub-label which received overwhelming response from the likes of Pete Tong to Shadow Child, Cinthie and many more of the scene´s true heroes you will know he is an artist unconfined to the restraints of the norm and he displays this once again on his new record “For My People”. NBASTWAX013 marks a return to HDSN´s roots with a new approach towards modern house music and owes a debt to the classic sound from New York, Chicago and Detroit. The title track “For My People" opens the release, encapsulating the spirit of classic deep house with an impressive attention to detail and insistent movement. Its a future deep house anthem featuring a deeply effective piano hook over a powerful House backdrop with a a rib shaking sub bass, utilizing soaring 303’s and soulful sprinkling vocals - stripped back House at it´s finest. Next up is “Werk Ya Body” which applies reverb soaked piano chords, sweeping synth shots and effortlessly shuffling drum programming that maintains captivation for the listener throughout. On the flip is “Life Is Good” that creates a beautifully flowing dynamism combining a positive piano hook with pounding drums & unfaded strings to maximum effect setting the mood for an uplifting house thomper. Closing the release with “Take Care” which is a smooth, dubbed out affair that demonstrates plenty of restraint yet really locks you into it´s hypnotic groove with the distant pulsating synth line which forges the way before an energetic piano and powerful vocals reset the system. Another absolute belter ready to tear down any dance floor. All four tracks are impeccably produced and perfect for the upcoming season. A dance floor essential, unraveling and built to work the late night hours and beyond in every other occasion. Grab your copy #datsoulthang

Something very special here with Slow Motion’s 48th release.

Recorded while experimenting with gear at CIMM studios (Venice Biennale’s centre for computer music which Bottin co-designed in 2019), EYE-BM is a joint release between two of our heaviest hitters: hairy Fabrizio Mammarella and baldie Bottin. EYE-BM is three tracks of sinister music, sweaty electro with tinges of cyberpunky EBM and New Beat. The icing on the cake is the euphoric remix from Italian synth wave pioneer Alexander Robotnick.

The acidic and jacking flavour might as well be the sound of your mind and body losing it on the dancefloor or missing your stop on the ass-bahn. Turn the dial up to 11. Or 12.

Just in time as the world starts to slowly reopen, Italian trio Omar Akhrif, Donald and Mago present XIII 004 with a fresh mixture of minimal, house and breaks.

Presenting a special limited edition reissue of a stone cold classic from the R&S vaults, 1993 style, remastered and repressed on special transparent wax.

Capricorn aka Dutch producer and DJ Hans Weekhout originally released the '20Hz' 3 track EP on R&S sub-label Global Cuts to much acclaim.

A record that was literally everywhere in '93 and still rocks any club today, '20Hz' is undoubtedly an all-time anthem with it's combination of rolling, thunderous drums, glacial marimba-like melodies and a tense trance inducing atmosphere that literally lifts the dancefloor to another place. 'Didn't I' is also a proper old-school peak-time stormer, it's uptempo, dripping in positive vibes with sampled soulful vocals and chopped up drum breaks all encapsulated within a real rave sensibility. Closing out the EP we are treated to 'For The Soul, Body & Mind' which is a much darker, deeper and menacing vibe than the previous cuts. More in line with the earliest fringes of jungle, hardcore and bleep tehcno the track takes us on a journey into the heart of the night with it's bass heavy and intricate sound programming and breakbeats, proving that Hans Weekhout was an extremely versatile and open minded producer. Overall, a truly classic and essential EP from the heyday of European house and techno that still packs a punch today!

This special 2021 edition is reissued by R&S Records from original master sources, remastered by Curve Pusher.

Vidre comes back with a fresh Various Artists, tracks by Elvio Iannitti, Adam Collins and Estmode.150 copies only, no repress!

Zeal....Enthusiastic devotion to a cause, ideal, or goal. In our case devotion to deep, dubby, warm mirco grooves.

The label's first release comes from 'Monsieur Georget' which is an alternative alias for well-known French producer Chris Carrier, who many will recognise from his own label Adult Only Records, along with releases on other labels including Robsoul, One Records, OFF Recordings and Silver Network.

The release also features a remix from stellar German artist DeWalta, who along with a number of seminal releases on Meander, is a regular collaborator with Mike Shannon and boasts releases on other labels including Vakant, Haunt and Visionquest.

Track one titled Le Village Flottant' is the first of the three originals on the release. Setting the tone of what's to come, it has stripped back drums with delicate sprinkles of delay that are brought to life with a wonky lead synth and poignant piano stabs. The track fuses intricacy with dancefloor focused energy.

Second track called Mecrant Des Oceans' has gliding synths that line the back of the mix whilst the morphing tones and subtle squelch of an acid line provides the momentum. Murky and mysterious, there's a metallic ring to the percussion and it's a fine example of how less can often be so much more.

Third on the release is the DeWalta remix of Le Village Flottant' and keeping the originals ride, he adds his own dub Techno influence. With new synth parts he cuts the already stripped drums to a bare minimum, which gives his added synths plenty of room to breathe and creates a captivating ambience.

Finishing the EP is the third original track titled Picnic Dans Le Metro' and like the rest of this release, it twists and turns with rippling textures and deep atmospherics. Each drum hit is crafted with expert precision and every textured synth sound merges to create the perfect groove and mood.

For the third release, Mung Records presents 12’’ Vinyl EP by acclaimed Ukrainian producer Yevhenii Kurylo aka Kurilo. His music passion goes back to playing percussion and drum instruments at the age of 12 and swiftly grew up into a desire to do DJing and create electronic music. Now, he produces electronic dance music, makes live performances, works on new vinyl releases and manages the Trance Pandemic label.

The label imprint of the beloved Berlin based club Paloma delivers its eighth release, and it was created by none other than a vogueing encyclopedia of musical and club culture knowledge (plus a cherished Paloma resident DJ). The disco professor: Daniel Wang.
It is his first original production under his own name in many years, and you can easily tell that this is not a tool to join in with dancefloor conformity (after all, his first album was called Idealism for a reason). Daniel Wang had already evolved from innocently enthusiastic sampling to synth wizardry during the heyday of his legendary Balihu label, and while studying the masters, he became one himself.
DSDN is an ode to nocturnal Berlin and its party community, a city that never left the centre of international attention for its vital and influential scene. Daniel Wang is a part of it since twenty years, and he was influenced by what he experienced as much as he left his mark on many nights, both as a DJ, and as a producer.
Of course, this release follows the traditional structure of a Disco EP by using a main tune DSDN with complementing dubs and instrumentals. Four to be exact, because four is the magic number with this format. DSDN reflects the internationality of the clubs across town in English and German words and pays homage to all the districts, and it effortlessly manages to unite sounds of both 80s NYC and Italo disco, 90s NYC and Italo house, synthpop and rap before it became too successful, balearic vibes before they became a mere excuse, and then it just majestically unfolds into both a charming summer hit and a complex opus magnum, but all an aural sunbeam that blows a kiss to those who emerge from recent sensations in clubs, bars, parks, and streets. Alone or together, happy or sad, resolute or irresolute, tired or energized, or all at once.

RAWAX proudly welcomes Gal Perez & Hadas Cohen aka RRZ & Dasco to the Family!

Strong debut release - more to come!

We are very happy to share with you our first vinyl release: Noche EP (FYC005) by Santiago Uribe. A four track EP inspired by the electronic sound of the Montevideo night. We hope you enjoy it.

Benny Rodrigues is arguably one of the biggest DJs on the dutch scene, performing at some of the worlds biggest events from Awakenings & Mysterland to underground spots such as Berghain & Dekmantel. As the phrase goes Get yourself a man that can do both'. Cocaine Speaking is a dutch acid anthem in two parts, complete with a Alden Tyrell remix!

We like the idea that if someone were new to us and they played this record it would convey everything that we are about.

To convey the almost 20-year career of the band is to take a deep dive into all forms of electronic music - from pop to house to disco to acid - along with nods to 1970s Germany, psychedelia, funk and art pop. And that's exactly what this record does, while also capturing the duality of a band who can craft meticulously constructed studio music as seamlessly as they can lock into unpredictable yet infectious grooves on stage.

3 tracks for the club. F***in’ jack it!!

Mint Condition - A reissue label focussed on excavating the outer fringes of classic House and Techno. Unreleased mixes, classics and overlooked gems mined from the last 20+ of contemporary dance music are the order of the day. From Chicago, Detroit and New York to London and beyond, Mint Condition have got their expert digging hats on to bring you exclusive heat and those rarer than rare jams that have been on your wants list for years! Dig in....
If we told you that you'd be seeing the future back in 1996 would you have believed us Maybe not, but Armando may beg to differ, yes that Armando. Chicago's prodigal son (RIP) hooked up with one of Chicago's other prodigal sons - Cajmere - to drop this stellar piece of jacked-up, hi-tech, slamming house on the infamous Radikal Fear imprint ran by Felix Da Housecat. Yeah, that's a lot of legendary names right there, for sure. Sit back, take it in for a second, let it marinate. 'The future' is a banger, no doubt about it. Punishing kick drums, manic synth stabs and that creeping trademark Armando acid is all there, it doesn't let up. Driving in all the right ways it's a surefire weapon. Classic Chi-town sounds here, second wave style. Over on the b-side we are lucky to be treated to an exclusive, respectful re-edit of Cajmere's absolutely heavyweight remix of 'The future', again this one kicks hard in Curtis' unique style. We were granted access to our homie and long time freak, Chicago house aficionado and advocate Luke Solomon's private edit of this jam. To say that it works is an understatement, Luke knows what he's doing 100%, decades spent behind the mixing desk and turntables all over the world have made sure of that. Oh, by the way, be careful with that bassline on the remix, it's capable of bringing out the weird side of anyone exposed to it on the dancefloor.... in the best possible way, of course! Essential stuff here, for the heads for sure!
'The future' has been legitimately released with the full involvement of the rights holders for 2017 and remastered by London's Curve Pusher from the original master sources especially for this release. 100% legit, licensed and released. Dug, remastered, repackaged and brought to you by the caring folks at Mint Condition!

Carpet boss Jorge Caiado returns with three tracks to expand your mind and your soul. Stretching across the A, ’Plant A New Garden’ is a cosmic neo-Detroit techno epic that comes accompanied by a life-affirming narrative in the long tradition of UR’s ’Transition’. On the B, ’Find Your Rhythm’ weaves a military kick, febrile percussion and a wicked acid motif into a dangerously groovy web. Finally, the easy, breezy ’Say What?’ smooths things over with classic house aplomb.

These Tasty Records warmly welcome an exciting group of producers for their third eclectic piece of wax!

Kicking off are Uruguayans Nacho CL & Muten strongly representing the underground Montevideo sound with 'Self Guarda', a pure stompy groover to satisfy your dancefloor needs. Then comes Nacho's 'Cuando Llega El Final', a real melodic breakbeat journey.

Barcelona's SINM debuts the B-side with an alien-like and twisted 'Reach 4 The Lasers' and a very unexpected turn. Closing the EP, they bring the old school rave back to life with 'Bass Patrol', which speaks for itself.

In the early 2000's, the Riverview mental hospital was closed down by the Government and the streets of Vancouver were filled with all that housed them.

One of these was a villain known only as Mr_Barcode, he was deemed mentally unfit to stand trial for his crimes and was incarcerated. In the mid 90's Mr_Barcode began a shadow mission to convert drum machines and standard MIDI hardware gear to use his patented sonic mind control chip.

He had created what was known as "Module 1" and was thwarted by CSIS and captured.

Once he was let loose Mr_Barcode began his experiment again, this time he found sympathizers in his cause- to brain wash the masses and for the machine to take over. Various labels enabled his mission, and thus gave way to the mind manipulation we see today on mankinds technology dependant lifestyle.
Believing his mission complete, Mr_Barcode interfaced with the machine by French kissing a plug socket in 2006, never to be seen until now.
These demos were sent, this time to bring anarchy, we love anarchy, bring on the Witching Hour.

Debut vinyl release straight out of Amsterdam from Locked-In.

A 4 track compilation brought to you by a stellar lineup of Jhobei, V. Stuparenko, N-GYNN, and Garouda.

On the A1 Jhobei cooked up a psychedelic electro cut which carries you away on a trippy journey.

A2 Ukranian wiz kid V. Stuparenko delivers a unique composition of tribal elements perfectly setup for the afters.

On the flip. The B1 is handled by the one and only N-GYNN, that bouncy bassline leaves you no choice but to move in an almost mechanical way.

B2 is wrapped up by Garouda with the rolling house vibe, a hypnotic tempo straight from outer-space.

Pipa Records is back, with the second installment of B-Squit's now legendary EP series. After touring the world for the last two years, he finally returned to the studio. The pressure was high, so he hired some of the most famous ghost producers to create a worthy successor to the acclaimed first release. For some mysterious reason that did not work out at all, but did cost a fortune. So back to basics, he chopped up some old songs and gave birth to this beauty.

Support from the usual suspects of course, except RC7, because he only likes to break records. We love records, we don't break them, please don't do that...

For the first release of 2021, label owner Bloody Mary is launching a new series which aims to blur the lines between EBM, dark wave and acid. The release comes after the huge success of her collaboration with Cardopusher on last year’s Conformity Kills EP, and straight off the back of the label’s 10 year anniversary compilation. Alongside Bloody Mary herself, this 4 tracker features a hand-picked selection of established and fresh artists whose tracks she has been supporting over the years.

Kicking things off on the A-Side is Bloody Mary’s track “Snatch”, followed by the renowned French artist Millimetric who’s welcomed to Dame-Music for the first time with his track “Body Alert” on A2. On the flip we see two more label debuts, this time from Russian artist Meshes on B1 with his track “Roleplay”, while Colombian artist Delectro rounds out the package on B2 with the heavy hitting and aptly named “Panic Rage”.

Pampa is ecstatic to welcome Berlin's Mike Denhert for his label debut. Known for an uncompromising, heads-down approach to moving dance floors, whether as a producer, a DJ, or in his live incarnation, Mike has provided 2 original tracks that are as distinct as they are relentless, possessed of a cerebral quality that belies their tough and stripped back aesthetic. How Close To Be' is a stuttering march of half heard and half imagined discourse, broken by bright synthesis which disappears before it can fully form, with the disorientating sonics held in check only by the rigidity of rhythm running throughout the tracks length. It's both surprising and linear. Dark and uplifting. Me Too' is also a creature of opposing ideologies. Warped moving Jazz plays with static Motorik patterns, automation curls around repetition, and textures change position throughout. Bright keys warp, and swing ebbs in and flows out, all to an eventually breathless but ultimately compelling sum of these parts.

Parallax Unknown returns a year on from their last record with another 4 tracker EP from ES-Q, featuring Lobster Theremin regular and Four triangles boss ASOK. Casting patterns, Lunatic Fringe & Intuition sees more of ES-Q's synth-ed out drum machine sounds with the lead track getting a deep, yet uplifting broken beat rework from ASOK.

More wicked and masterful Tech-house runnings from the HD mob, originally released at the turn of the millenium on London's Eukahouse label the House Utensils EP is another essential entry into the genres canon. Chugging, bass heavy jammers with all the right swing in all the right places! Kitchen Spasm (Original) opens up proceedings, a creeping acidic roller with some sinister robotic voices telling us they 'don't care what you say, what you do'! Eerie synth pads and driving drums compliment the odd mood and drive this one into the early AM! Also featured is the garagey Lounge, a sweet and melodic cut that oozes that lovely techy soul and tuneful swagger that just lifts a dancefloor. This one sounds like it was made yesterday, it sounds 2020 as anything and will get spin from DJ's. If all that wasn't enough, there's a dope dub mix of Kitchen Spasm to finish the EP off. A killer 12" from start to finish from the masters of the game!

The Kitchen Utensil EP has been legitimately re-released with the full involvement of the Housey Doingz massive and was remastered by London's Curve Pusher from the original DAT's especially for Mint Condition. 100% legit, licensed and released. Dug, remastered, repackaged and brought to you by the caring folks at your favourite reissue label - Mint Condition!

Yet another all killer no filler album from Omar S!

Fox Sound records debuts with this 4 tracks release by the Italian duo MDC. It's difficult to classify their music into a single genre. Fresh grooves, acid bassline and vocals, but also dark and introspective sounds, passing from the break beat. Follow the fox.

As promised, the collective mind of SIKU comes through with a second serving of club-ready fillets, seasoned with a kick and plenty of bass to satisfy your techno appetite. Enjoy another taste of the group’s talent - bred in the streets of Lima, and refined in the clubs of Barcelona. Hop into the techno-trance-tech-house journey.

"Take a think back to the end of the night, past the two o'clock knock-off time and towards that steady flicker of synthetic lights that tell you to go home. There's a sunrise somewhere outside, creeping towards the horizon and providing the clarity of day. But for now, the bass deepens as Aiden Francis draws you into his folds: the night has a few more memories to be made and the dancefloor a collection of dedicated music lovers who are there to wring the last few moments from it.'

Weapons of Desire are back with the next instalment of raw percussion and the dirty bass lines that we have all grown to know and love. This time joint label owners Alex Handley and Toni Aslam are at the helm with Auto Sound City - A Collection Of Niceties Raw Jackin' business created from analogue boxes as old as they are. Four tracks that cut through the groove like butter. WOD007 is a milestone as it is the first double sided release. Time to put the needle on the record, nod your head and shuffle your feet to filth of the finest kind.

DAWL debuts on UTTU with 5 sublime bleep house & techno kuts!
