After his exciting album Elasticity' on his own imprint Elastic Dreams, A Sagittariun delivers the equally fascinating three track Oxidize EP' for german label Couldn't Care More. While Heights' is a stripped-down basic-channelish techno ride, rough, edgy and with a hint of hypnotic melodies, the title track heads in a quite different direction: still it's raw expressionistic techno, but the flow is ever-changing, mesmerizingly shifting and twisting between hissing beats and enlightened synths. For the remix of Oxidize' Golden Pudel Club resident and odd-house virtuoso RVDS fires up the acid machine and does it Detroit style, warm and cold, uplifting and melancholic.

Reissue of a mix of sought after tracks from the label’s past releases, by MICROLITH and FAH, limited to 100 copies on purple vinyl.

Thomas´ APOKALYPSO marks his return to Rett I Fletta almost exactly 3 years after he started it with BLUSJKETUTA and ÅPNE SLUSA. And following a now famous Winston Churchill saying: 'This is not the End, not even the beginning of the End. This ("Apokalypso") is ... the End of the Beginning! And the rest is History. Or simply great Tekno not Tekno. All available on Full Pupp's 'techno not techno' offshoot Rett I Fletta!!!

After launching with Jaxe’s acid bomb Seekings earlier this
year, Dom Trojga is back with a bang (and five smiles). Uniting
artists from Ukraine and Poland, and ditching genre
considerations in favour of a shared wavelength, Domownicy
Różnoracy Cz.1 is all about further revelation of the imprint’s
purpose. First up is synth enchantress Poly Chain with the
storming ostinato of Moonhaze (first track ever signed to the
label, but not her last, by any means), followed by the beaming
legend SLG and his soother-shaker Hello Utopia. On the B-side
Jaxe strikes back, teaming up with the uncanny Bejenec
(CHECK OUT HIS LIVE SHOW, FOR REAL), for a hefty slab of
tekno-funk that is Seamless. Finally, label founder Eltron
rounds things up with his own quirky Rym Cymcym. The
beautiful label art has been drawn by the inimitable Martyna
Bolanowska. Playing this record is good for you, so don’t
hesitate.

Tom Akman & Nacho Bolognani - Nowadays EP BARWAX002 BIOUK label BienAimer Records returns with their second release from Parisian producer Tom Akman who delivers the shimmering 3-track ‘Nowadays’ EP.The analogue driven EP begins with title track ‘Nowadays’ and combines lush pads with an irresistible bassline to form the soundtrack to any dancefloor sunrise moment. Argentinian hotshot artist Nacho Bolognani smooths out lead track on A2 while over on the B side Akman further demonstrating his knack for drum programming and an ear for a funky bassline on‘You Know’ and ‘Several Directions’ respectively.

Vin Sol has arrived back on the scene with his outstanding and varied album on Dark Entries. On his debit Craigie Knowes EP however it's back to the gritty stuff. Acid, ghetto tech and slammin' house jams. It is an EP of club rocking beats from beginning to end.

Craigie Knowes continue their long-running War Child fundraiser series with a new 2x12" release featuring tracks from Eluize, DJ Python, Stellar OM Source, Innnershades, No Moon, The Burrell Connection and more. From ambient and downbeat through to techno and electro, the release spans the sounds that Craigie Knowes have embraced over the last 5 years. The fourth installment of the project also sees a completely new sleeve and center label design by Kyle Morrison. All profits donated to War Child UK, a charity helping children in areas of conflict around the world.

This first EP is inspired by earlier prodcutions adding in the mix today’s codes and references.

Listening to the EP, one can hear samples and Lo-Fi works as well as the sound of mythical machines like the TR909 and TB303.

For this first realease, we have been eager to put the spotlight on artists we strongly believe in, who are rising talents

of the French House music scene: Madcat, who is often featured on the Pont Neuf label, and Deborah Aime La Bagarre

who is close to the Parisian crew Vryche House.

The artists and founding members Basile de Suresnes and Ten Fingerz complete the roster.

This debut from longstanding East German maestro Mathias Kaden is no exception

A bucket-list EP for the Gera-based artist whose followed and collected from Winks label since inception, Nova is both a personal showcase and a homage to a label thats inspired his tension-heavy signature. Adding to a discography that boasts some of most respected techno labels possible (Vakant, Mule Musiq, Watergate, Desolat, Freude Am Tanzen), the Nova EP flexs Kadens darkest and deepest tendencies and includes certain signatures that many of the best Ovum releases share: acid, a direct and effective single word sample, versions and a DJ tool that will blow your dancefloors heads off.

The acid mix of Nova sets the scene. Acid through Kadens perception; its warm, its subtle, it strips right back to a naked groove before thundering back into a head-shoeing finale with devastating effect. Its complemented by Mathiass alternative version; an atmospheric mix where the acid is switched out for rippling, dubby synths and a relentless drive that has just a touch of a French kiss to it. Loaded with a sweet shuffle in the percussion, you could lose your head in this for hours. Throw in the acapella/FX DJ tool and Marco Faraones turbine acid beast and you genuinely can lose yourself indefinitely in this release. Laced with a classic spoken word theme throughout, Mathias sums up Ovum perfectly
Its how I always see Ovum: The past is the future. The future is the past. Ovum is one of the most Timeless Labels I know!

You could say the same about Mathias. Get to know.

AD and Worldline deliver Toy Opulent’s third release - and it’s first vinyl imprint.

Soft Serve Angel projects a clear and present sense of techno drive and a delightful symphony of melodic synths. The beginning is minimal and evolves into a full cacophony of beauty and craftsmanship, layered with the vocals of the mysterious Crisis Luxury. Here, meanderings of childhood tones echo from an East L.A. ice cream truck. From the hailed vehicle emerges the soft serve angel - with a vanilla cake cone prepared, just for you, on a sunny California day. This track is incredibly versatile.


A Soft Serve Angel remix is presented to us by a master of his art, Persuader. He shows us, once again, that minimal drive that we can all count on to provoke thought and movement with modern engineering skills and a familiar old school flair.


Bubble Gum Eyes is minimal perfectly pitched protocol of TR-909 love with a morphing bassline and epic-scale science-synth work. The track addresses both a question and an answer.


Rocket POP! I mean, who don’t love a good rocket pop? This dubby dub dub mix contains fragments of the entire release that sums it up, and finishes it off perfectly - the cherry on top of the soft-serve angel.

Four diverse acid-driven techno and house cuts from Vault Wax label boss, Beyun. With Detroit-influenced strings, gritty SH-101 pads, and emotive live acid lines, this introspective EP is ready for repeated listening and exploring altered states on 303.

Part two in his trilogy of what seems like an aural romp through dance music’s key components, Luke Vibert follows up his ode to the ‘Amen break’ on the sumptuous ‘Luke Vibert presents Amen Andrews’, with a pretty damn thorough modelling of rave roots, in ‘Luke Vibert presents Modern Rave’.

When it comes to bashing out creative, highly complex, yet seemingly simplistic rave bangers, Luke Vibert certainly has the chops for delivering the goods in spades. As an innovator in the field for labels like Ninja Tune, Warp and Rephlex, Vibert digs deep into his floppy disc collection for a glorious ride through familiar samples and hooks, breakbeats and funky basslines and earworm melodies for an indispensable collection of feel good modern rave.

XXX is back with an Split 12“ EP. On the A side we have Spencer Miles and on the AA side Zakmina. Once again XXX brings artists from all around the globe together on 12“. Spencer Miles brings us some dark brooding tracks all the way from Oregon, while Zakmina from Lithuania adds up to the heat with two bangers that for sure will shudder the dancefloor. The artwork is by upcoming photographer Joost Termeer, who is based in Utrecht in the Netherlands. When he heard the track he thought of fire, which was the inspiration for the artwork. We couldn’t agree more.

This 3rd of the Motordiscs opens with a slow and delighted beat by The JuanMacLean, which turns into an electro mesmerizing track. Is it slow trance or is it some kind of house ? Are we early in the night or late in the after party ? Are we still dreaming ? A2 « Mark 211 » by Javi Redondo takes the energy level up with some acidy synth and punchy snares, proving that the power of a track does not necessarily lies in its speed. It is now time to flip the disc, Naduve takes us later in the night, bringing a murky vibe, thanks to haunting pads and low frequency instruments, picturing a proper underground club. The sun now starts to rise on the Seine river, the last track sounds like an ode to the dawn, where voices and shiny synths will emerge and open the crowd’s eyes. It was « Peppi » by Fairmont. This was a night at Garage

Fabio Monesi is back on his own platform with a classy house number, 'Love Letter', that will no doubt become an instant classic in 2020.
The Original Mix brings home the warm soulful feeling of those seminal older ‘Masters at Work’ pieces. Love Letter’s 'Dub Mix' is an extraordinary throwback to thattimeless Detroit sound – play this when you want to get the dancefloor start moving. On the flip, you will find a hypnotic, club-ready techno tool, a hard kicking, distinctively Kupfer-esque rhythm track making up B2 which is paired alongside the mysterious “Modern Sisters” who spin the track with their own thumping 80s Midas touch.

Returning to Earwiggle for the first time since one of our early hits (his Midwest Whippersnappers EP with Paul Birken), the inimitable Freddy Fresh provides some choice material from the year 1996, remastered and ready for modern consumption.

We start with the tunnelling acid tour-de-force of "Abraxas", that first appeared on Freddy's "Analog Space Funk" album on Analog, followed by a similarly spaced out (yet previously unreleased) track of the same period, "Aerial". Originally released on Cari Lekebusch's Hybrid label, "Logical Grooves 1" is prototype supernatural techno on an almost morbid tip, while "Barogue" is a classic Freddy Fresh cut to wrap up (fittingly taken from his "Accidentally Classic" album on Harthouse), where weighty Mr. Fingers style chords play over an epic and deep-building exotic soundscape. "1996" marks a special snapshot in time - when Freddy Fresh did 'out there' techno in a way that no-one else did, techno that we believe will always stand the test of time. Also included is a special A4 poster of a young Freddy patching in the studio, giving a small glimpse of the Minneapolis great at his weird and wonderful work.

The year is 3030. Cruising from galaxy 2 galaxy with Artificial Intelligence @ the helm, intergalactic cruise liners have become so advanced that they have developed the ability 2 create their own personalities, feel emotions and ultimately fall in luv.

UK producer Pierre Codarin launches his self-titled imprint with three rhythmic house cuts from himself this January.
Establishing a name in recent years by dropping solid releases on the likes of Leftroom, Resonance Records and Huxley & Jimmy Posters Saints & Sonnets, news of Pierre Codarins decision to form an imprint will please fans of his distinct sounding aesthetic. A burgeoning star that continually turns the heads of his industry peers, Codarins rise is indisputably envious having garnered early support from the likes of Mr. G, Rolando, Groove Armada, A Sagittariun, Laurent Garnier and Raresh.

The A side sees Codarin employ firm kicks and piercing snares in a mesmerising roller complete with a heady bassline, spectral atmospherics and various subtleties throughout the mix. B1 is then more understated in nature, featuring shuffling hats, chilling pads and intricate details, before the B2 delivers a fuzzy hook, acid licks and esoteric whirrs for a track geared for peaktime bedlam.

Amir Alexander's 2nd full LP lands, this time on the powerhouse of Just Jack Recordings - providing a journey through techno, acid and house.

From the space-age melodies and overdriven synths of "Lemmings Off A Cliff!", to the pounding acid & infamous "My House" vocal on"In The Beginning!", the LP starts with a bang. Halfway through the broken beat and blippy "Rude Boy!" stands out, along with the big room gospel house gold of "Blessed Are The Meek!".
"Weep Not!" takes it full circle - matching a similar distorted bass to the opener with some exquisite synth work. No wonder all the titles have exclamation marks - this is 8 tracks of serious tackle!

The Label from Fort Romeau and Ali Tillett present their first release of 2018 and the 10th in the catalog so far.

Following on from Calm’s stunning By Your Side album on Hell Yeah late last year, it is now revisited with a series of special remixes. Part 1 finds the Japanese artist himself revisit one track, while Mind Fair also step up with fresh new versions.

First up, Calm reworks his own ‘Mellow Mellow Sadness’ into Mellow Mellow Acid. It's a super slow burning and soothing remix with a gentle acid line drawn out of tumbling drums. Blissful chords ripple out to the horizon and you can really feel the sun on your face with this one.

Golf Channel and International Feel disco duo Mind Fair step up to flip ‘My Home Town’ into a long legged and gorgeously hazy downtempo disco bomb. The chords shimmer and shine and will have people swaying with their eyes shut and is sure to become a huge track this summer.

This is a fantastic, summer ready package once again from Hell Yeah.

The first set of remixes of Calm’s By Your Side got plenty of props for sound quality as well as their ability to get people grooving. Now the label serves up some more remixes, this time from legendary figures Mark Barrott (International Feel) and My Friend Dario.

Up first is Barrott, the long time slow motion master whose downtempo, ambient, new age and electronic fusions very much set out the Balearic template way back in the nineties. ‘Space Is My Place’ (Mark’s Re Imagination to the Sacred Heart Center) is an enchanting and tropical reworking with exotic percussion and liquid drums that gentle sway to and fro like a raft at sea. It’s another escapist, transportive track from Barrott that takes you to the other side of the world.

My Friend Dario returns to Hell Yeah after his exquisite Calamari Fritti EP late last year with more of his worldly infused sounds. His Etna Vision of ‘Shadows and Lights’ is a glistening affair with loosely jumbled drums and romantic keys that ring out into a balmy night sky. It’s musical and blissful as always with this artist.

Once again here Hell Yeah have come through with your most essential summer sounds.

Supported by Leo Mas, Chris Coco, Pete Gooding, Bobby Beige, Soft Rocks, Calm, Balearic Gabba Sound System, Phat Phil Cooper…

First release of the Roof Records Label of Isernia. The vinyl, produced by our resident DJ Lucio, is the first of a long series. Inspired by the first techno sounds of the 90s and the most innovative sounds of recent year , Lucio brings out 4 sensational tracks, capable of transporting the listener over this period of time. From high-handed acid rhythms to ambient intramures, from funky / blues melodies to Detroit-style melodies. This is how the record is composed and everything is based on the classic Roland 808 and 909 drum machines. Don't miss it.
Only 200 copies, no reprints.

Stunning new album from Chicago's finest electronic futurist Hieroglyphic Being, aka Jamal Moss, newly released on Soul Jazz Records. This is his third album for the label, following on from "The Acid Documents" in 2015, and African With Mainframes (w/ Noleian Reusse) "K.M.T." in 2016.

Born and based in Chicago, Moss's music embodies two of the cultural foundation blocks of the city's musical lineage, that of Chicago's original Acid House sound (c. 1986) - Frankie Knuckles, Phuture, Marshall Jefferson et al, alongside a rigorous experimental sound searching that taps into the cosmic musical lineage of pioneering artist Sun Ra whose Arkestra landed and was based in the city from 1946-61, and the equally pioneering work of 'The Art Ensemble' of Chicago in the 1960's and 70's.

The association with Sun Ra is by no means hypothetical, Moss recorded with the Arkestra leader Marshall Allen and a host of free jazz players for the album Hieroglyphic Being & JITU Ahn-Sahm-Buhl's 'We Are Not The First.' in 2015. Similarly, his relationship to Chicago's original acid house pioneers of the late 1980's is no hyperbole. Originally mentored by artist/producers Adonis and Steve Pointdexter, Moss also runs his own Mathematics label, releasing a constant stream of new music by foundation acid house pioneers Lil' Louis, Adonis and many others.

What clearly defines Moss's music is that while sometimes pushing the limits of sound to an ear-splitting dimension of experimentation and DIY-electronics - the music is always clearly a progression of the lineage of black music. In the words of fellow Chicagoans, 'The Art Ensemble' of Chicago, it is simply 'Great Black Music.'

And yet in this uniquely defined sound, Moss somehow manages to draw into this world elements of industrial music, German electronic music (Cluster, Harmonia etc), Detroit's sci-fi techno artists (Atkins, Saunderson, Craig) and more.
'Outsider House' 'Afro-Futurist' 'Rhythmic Cubism', Moss's near indescribable sound plays testament to the notion that he is perhaps the last of the line of producers directly influenced by Ron Hardy at the Music Box, uniquely qualified to write a new chapter of Chicago's rich musical history.

Red Notes is the prolific artists new revelatory and unique project - in his own words 'A homage to the Blue Note Jazz sound of Thelonious Monk, John Coltrane, Herbie Hancock' fused together with the classic Chicago House and Acid sensibilities of Larry Heard, Armando, Adonis et al, into a newly imagined futuristic and barrier-less musical landscape. Featuring organic and synthetic electronic instrument., Hieroglyphic Being here fuses real-time live instrumentation and over-dubbed technologies to dramatic effect, as analog and electronic worlds collide.

As Ociya, hardware freaks Tin Man (Johannes Auvinen) and Patricia (Max Ravitz), come together in unholy acid matrimony on a definitive double-album, Powers Of Ten.

We know both sides well. Over a prolific run of records for Acid Test and his own Global A, Auvinen has expounded upon the promise of "Nonneo" (recently named one of Resident Advisor's 2010-19: Tracks Of The Decade), unearthing new, emotional vistas from the Roland TB-303. Ravitz, meanwhile, matches Tin Man in studio ethic, establishing himself as one of North America's hardware masters on records for Ghostly and Opal Tapes.

What we couldn't have predicted is how well the parts merge. Cuts like "Ghost Moons" channel the hazy IDM legacies of the past, while "Hopeful Galaxy" mixes a plaintive Rhodes motif with a hopeful 303 line for the perfect "tears on the dance floor" cut. The track titles on Power Of Ten— a perfect melodic techno LP generously spread across two records—are celestially minded ("Gravity Knots," "Star Scraping") and indeed, the cosmic metaphor is apt or the newly-formed duo. On Powers Of Ten, Tin Man's acid lines rocket through space like brilliant, shooting stars. His signature orchestral acid moments are given the perfect backdrop, the nebula of Patricia's rich atmospherics and melodies.

The album was recorded live to 2 track in Patricia’s studio in New York, no edits.

Kicking off the labels first release Sebastian Gummersbachs "Stay Underground. Stay Raw." EP offers 4 rough house cuts ranging from banging disco house to moody acid excursions. Heavily inspired by the golden age of house and maintaining a raw, no-nonsense
vibe throughout the whole record the EP is a true homage to underground house music.

After completing his debut 12" for 100% Silk (which saw a release in Feb 2016) Hubert Clarke Jr spent most of 2015 focused on pushing the music of others, through Sydney's newest record store, Outer Time Inner Space.

Owning and being surrounded by a literal shop full of records provided motivation and inspiration but left little time for writing.

It was the incredible talent and passion of DJs and peers in the fertile house/techno scene at home in Sydney that proved to be an undeniably strong motivator. Dancing while local friends, Ben Fester and Andy Webb go ham b2b in support of Soichi Terada (a bill that included Hubert among other local talents) is a perfect example.

Wanting to capture and bottle the palpable energy and diversity of amazing nights like this in Sydney led him to write the tracks that make up this EP.

Taking cues from both Detroit and the UK, there's no set formula here, just a conscious effort to balance a love for sampling with an equally strong passion for musicality and live performance. Translating this through the MPC with the hopeful goal of keeping thighs warm in the disco... or ears cosy on the train home.

Posthuman’s cult label reaches number 20 – featuring Luke Vibert’s return to the imprint named after his own iconic track, with a full album of purist acid. Ten tracks over a double album, all written on just three pieces of analogue early 1980’s hardware: Roland’s TB303, TR808, and JX3P. Housed in a gatefold sleeve & black paper inners with artwork by Cat Galcera, featuring the equipment used on the album and nothing more.

Records all hand-stamped, sleeves hand-numbered. Heavyweight 180gram vinyl. No digital. No represses.

L.A. mainstay and Black Lodge resident Force Placement lays down a lush futuristic house cruise with the title track ‘Retinex’. B-side features off-kilter techno cut ‘Signifying’ and a stripped-down Berndt version.

Currently causing a stir with their tracks that sit coquettishly astride the House/Techno divide, Super Rhythm Trax welcomes Black Girl / White Girl to the family.

“5XXXI” will delight fans of stripped back and bleepy, raw minimal funk, sounding like an updated and three dimensional version of Detroit’s DBX whilst oozing it’s own personality.

On remix duties Luca Lozano and DJ Steve step up and twist the track around, creating an ode to Sheffield, channelling bleeps and bass in a manner that could easily have seen this release sitting comfortably alongside purple sleeved classics in 1990.

After appearing on the well received Chicago Bee Various artists EP Nill Minogue AKA Postelektrik delivers his debut EP on the same label.

This well crafted EP has a mature sound that crosses the boundaries from traditional acid and leans towards deep house and electronica.

Side A delivers what has been to be expected from Chicago Bee. But its the the flip side where Nill Minogue comes into his own. This side blends a shift towards a home listening vibe as well as being suited to a more discerning dance floor. The tracks The Green Strobe and Not Them are slow drifting builders and full of lush pads that float along endlessly. This combined with moody baselines and trademark Roland drums you surely have a well rounded winner.

Many supporting this EP so far including DeepChord, Placid (I Love Acid) , Damo B (Outer Limits radio show) Colin Dale, Jerome Hill , Rennie Foster and Type 303.

Do or Die has already made an impression on Nicolas Lutz's My Own Jupiter and now makes a sideways step to Binh's Time Passages, another label associated with a deep digging selection of underground DJs who are some of the most revered of the moment. Opener "90s" makes you wanna scream "aciiiiiiiiid" at the top of your voice, "EBM" channels some old school rave, breakbeat and techno vibes with its energetic drum patterns and bleeping synths. The title track is the most unusual of the lot, pairing withering synth lines with metallic drums and distorted drones that all add up to some powerful, warehouse-ready sounds.

This new one on Art Of Dark comes from two sureshot producers with oodles of idiosyncratic flair folded into their sound. First up is Santiago Uribe, whose "This Is Only A Test" works some cheeky samples in amongst a massive rubbery bassline and some acidic stabs. "Momento Tenso" switches things up with a crisp break and some more melancholic synth work. Z@p then presides over the B side with some freaky, sharply executed techno spiced up with a melodic twist. "Phenomenology" brings the kind of weirdo groove Z@p is best known for, all wonky bleep lines and erratic synth wriggles over a solid rhythm section.

Andras’Joyful is a cornucopic vision rooted in the decay of dance music from one of Australia’s most distinct yet understated voices. Cutting a path through an overgrowth of nostalgia around 70's acid folk and 90's acid house, Joyful is an invitation to till a n old garden in a glistening new light.

A thirteen year old Andrew Wilson sits in the back of his parents’ sedan, driving down the coast from Melbourne. Headphones covering his awkwardly aged ears and connected to a jam-packed mp3 player, he experiences an intense synchronicity when the car careens over a mountain crest in the Otway Ranges right as the track in his ears peaks. A momentary vision of a “first rave rush,” in which Australia’s lauded party history dances tellingly with this dreamer’s destiny.

Not so much later but perhaps more worldly and certainly more aware, Wilson returns home from touring, now a “veteran” of the dance world, to realize a different synchronicity in his record collection. Finding Ian Van Dahl nestled next to John Fahey, William Orbit spine-to-spine with Shira Small, the harmony between folk music of the early 70's and dance music from the 90s becomes perfectly audible in unimaginable ways.

Through an afterglow from both summers of love seeped in shared sonic soil, on Joyful, Wilson cultivates melodic drama and tenderness, memorable hooks and rapturous arpeggios; sentimental strings summon both joyful aspirations and the shadows of faded dreams. Using folk songs as fodder—lyrics, samples, note progressions—each entry of Wilson’s debut album under his Andras moniker is a return to a different springtime of the mind.

Many artists working in Australia can relate to the feeling of “not quite being there,” as Wilson describes it. Always a couple years behind trend. Turning up at the party as it’s winding down. Fearing that in many ways the culture is looking backwards, confirming the narrow outlook of a parochialism that many have worked tirelessly to disprove. Using this disconnect as an invitation to dream another dream, Joyful becomes the soundtrack of early teen Andrew’s fantasy of Utopic parties past, specifically the late discovery of a bygone warehouse rave scene, as well as a return to a guileless chapter of personal history as heard through plain, sane, and simple folk melodies. Joyful is a homecoming, a testament to the evolving euphoria of a flower garden rooted in earth’s tender rot, of birds and bees flying free but not without a changing landscape in sight.

Andras’Joyful is available on LP and digital formats on January 31, 2020 via Beats In Space. On behalf of Andras, a portion of proceeds from this release will benefit the Invasive Species Council on the recommendation of Tim Low, author of the book Feral Future and Where Song Began.

Next Libertine featuring Madrid talented artist Do Or Die who delivers a very interesting album with various shades of his style from techno to acid and italo-disco influenced tracks.

From the chaos of our rapidly changing world, Swiftness was born to provide a constant in our lives: timeless agile music from the hidden corners of Bucharest's electronic scene.

For its first release, Swiftness is proud to announce STUFFZ - the debut EP of rising local talent FILIPP. Comprised of 3 spacey house tracks, STUFFZ will make any turtle put on its fastest dance moves in no time.

A REISSUE IN LOVING MEMORY OF RICK (POPPA) HOWARD, AND A CELEBRATION IN DANCE AND MUSIC IN HIS HONOR FOR THE WORLD IN FUTURE TIME TO CREATE, EMBRACE, AND ENJOY

Workhorse from Vakula for plowing dance floors

A great strong man with a brush in his hand once said: everything you can imagine is real and art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life. So is making music just another form of keeping a diary In terms of Ana Helder, the Argentinian girl with the special twist, the answer is: maybe. More than two years after her last release on Co´meme she is back with a hand full of tracks. Five to be precise. She got more, but this is what the Mu¨stique's received. They are mean, dirty, harmful, amorevolous, seductive and addictive. Surrender tunes from a producer and DJ that does not think in boxes. Her three Eps El Groove De Tu Corazo´n', Fiebre De Marte' and Beating PC' mark some warped grooving heights in the edgy catalogue of Matias Aguayo's label Co´meme. Also on the French label Astro Lab she already dropped the 12inch Soy Canalla' with a playful psyche tune, that additionally got remixed by folks like Les Disques De La Mort seducer Ivan Smagghe or the mysterious West-German ghost-(w)rid(t)er Frank West. Furthermore, she re-tuned tunes from Chilean friends like Alejandro Paz or Mama- cita and sang on songs of colleagues. For Mu¨stique she now looked into her always-growing production crate and found some post-punk waving funk odes, which want more than just to dance this mess around. They bring soulful LSD-melodies for Jazz lovers with techno legs that like to get high on Liquid Liquid. They are electronic but yet so organic. And they move deeply while spreading the feel of a meditative rest. When Diagnose heard them first, he came to the idea of writing a script for a flick that tells the story of a music-making machine, which has more to offer than answers. It forms sound with no traces of reality, but is so human that humans fear it. Why did he think that way Only because of what Ana Helder recently got to say Well, let the music play...

Second release from the promotional edits label La Bestiole Records. Loony saxophone, frenetic TR beats and love advice: everything you need to make people dance together and love each other.

Poker Flat return with their ninth label compilation featuring no less than 10 new exclusive tracks, uniting some of the brightest talents from their label roster, and also inviting some new names to join their mischievous posse.

We are proud to present the second record on Axces, which comes from our close friend Frits Caroe aka Popmix. Recorded in 2017 in the Nordvest Auto facilities, the three tracks on his debut give a sense of Frits' mastery of effective, simplistic melodies.

The A-side kicks off with Funtema, a candy like IDM tune whose strong melodic core will be stuck in your head for days. Next up is Klub Frimis, a Detroit meets Mario Kart DJ tool that we guarantee will rock any party. Finally on the B-side we have Teenage Club Fantasy, whose acidic bassline and dubby stabs will help ease that comedown.

Welcome to the world of Popmix!

It would be a waltz to call ìSalty Daysî just a treaty of deep house. But it is much more than
just that. The co-owners of Hamburgís most gentle record store and label Smallville - Just
von Ahlefeld and Julius Steinhoff aka Smallpeople (please see Discogs for ramifactions and
further reference) ñ wouldnít be the romanticists they are, if it would be that simple. The
debut album of these two young lads with baseball hats not only honours and delves into a
sound that already peaked some fifteen years ago, it also hones and elevates it, without ever
falling into the Reynoldsmania trap (please see Retromania for further reference) or being old
gold retold.

“Striking DJ Haus and Juxta Position remix pack of a stone cold classic”

For our second foray into the vinyl world, Sprechen label head Massey joins forces with Sir Horatio, 'a certain' band from Manchester on collaboration cut 'Music Control'.

The result is a meeting of musical minds that blends together both parties favoured sounds to create a squelchy sandwich of post-disco/ proto-house with a healthy helping of acid & punk-funk which should appeal to fans of mucky basements and mature mosh-pits as well as those cosmic ALFOS astronauts.

Pressed on 180g vinyl and comes with a 10 minute acid disco banger on the A-side & two cosmic oddities on B + a locked groove...TIP!

Parisian cinema composer Jean-Gabriel Becker is best known for idiosyncratic soundscapes, has worked alongside Massive Attack on acclaimed film soundtracks and recorded with John Foxx. Susumu Mukai, originally from Osaka, Japan, is one of London’s most sought after musicians, whose list of collaborators includes Floating Points, Vanishing Twin, Alexis Taylor and Fimber Bravo.

Together they’ve created fresh new music that floats effortlessly above traditional genre delineation, with a dubbed-out and experimental melange of modern acid house, post punk, global grooves and clattering beats. Still not complying to genres,’TimeVery Near’ is their tentacular new album, which gathers sounds and inspiration from an ever-expanding palette of influences, assembled into something amorphously intangible that’s simultaneously refreshing and sharp, meandering and cosmic, futuristic but timelessly vintage.

Celebrating three decades of KMS-flavored Techno, 'KMS30' demonstrates both the genre's evolution and enduring relevance in today's musical landscape. Comprising three cuts from Kevin Saunderson & KiNK, Dubfire and Marc Houle, this array of club-stomping sounds paves the way for more phenomenal years to come.

The 10th release on 45 Live Records. For this, we’re going to surprise people with a hip house/acid house 45 from Finnish producer Dan Kaipio aka Type-303. Type-303 is a one-man project based in Tampere, Finland. He creates music for the love of acid and the classic Roland TB-303 sound mixed with various genres.

The sound of Type-303 is inspired by various styles of music from classic 80s acid to 90s rave to the house sound of today. In addition to producing, he is an avid vinyl collector and DJ and can be found spinning vinyl at underground parties across Finland.

45 Live and Type-303 came together due to a post on Facebook about his last record by DJ Food (a fellow acid house collector), we got in touch and managed to buy the last copy of that particular release direct from Dan in Finland. In those communications we dropped the question “would you like to do a 45 for us?”, and he said, “sure, why not!”. So with Dan on board to record for the label we decided that resurrecting the much loved yet fleeting hip-house sound tinged with
ska was the way to go, along with a strictly heavyweight acid tune on the B side.

For ‘Sticky Disko’, we wanted to create a classic late 80’s straight-up party cut, ska acid, a bouncy floor filler. Meanwhile, the B side ‘Analog Acidbath’ had one rule to follow, and that was “make it acid”. So cue up one seriously funky and heavily layered 303 workout aimed directly at the dancefloor, no holds barred.

M Parent brings us a soundtrack of American dystopia, one that gives a pointed sonic voice to the bubbling frustrations and anxieties of our time. While American politics play out like a circus on the world stage, M Parent responds to the question of what it means to be American through dirty acid riffs
and eerie electro synth stabs. The album opens up with the title track where a deep voice bellows, “The American Dream was a lie,” setting the stage for what comes next. A warped sense of reality bubbles over in Lose Your Mind, as a wailing electric guitar plays a distorted rendition of the Star Spangled Banner. On the track They Gave You What, a glitched out 808 breakbeat unwinds as
psychedelic paranoia sets in over a stiff melodic hook.

But it’s not all doom and gloom, as it wouldn’t be a complete encapsulation of the American dream without a sense of hope. Balancing the LP out are playful tracks and aural details that keep the American tradition of funk alive. Fucked Acid offers a bright acid track with a funky falsetto synth line.
At the album’s cheeky climax, Electric Snake, a reptilian beast is lured out with 808 toms and beat back by unrelenting snare rolls. Maniacal laughter and an acidic bubbly lead race towards the album’s conclusion in the track Get In. The LP finishes with Groovy, an uplifting track that adds a fragile sense
of optimism.

'Moya81' delivers an outstanding album on Libertine Traditions, a blend of Dark Italo Disco with Electro & Industrial influcences.
ANTHEM ALERT!

Traceless, the new collaborative release by Sinfol and Octual, the two artists who shaped the sound of the label with their distinct grooves. The 6th installment is an EP full of warm, spiraling and acid-tinged lines, spherical percussion and foggy rhythms. Mystical and pristine but with a subtle summer funk around the edges.

30 releases in and Super Rhythm Trax celebrate with this beautiful record by Finnish producer, Type-303 with an EP that faces off the lushest most uplifting Acid music against the rawest and dirtiest end of the genre.

'Delays' sounds almost like an early UR record while 'Code 808' is an absolute masterclass in bliss, complete with it's vocoders, electro drum track and singing 303s. Sandwiched between these two tracks you have the cheeky suggestiveness of 'Kolkki Crush' and the outright sleaze of 'Life In Mono'.

Type-303 has previously released on underground favourite labels such as Chicago Bee, Downfall and I Love Acid

Seemingly unstoppable, Palermo Traxx Vol 2 is the third release from The Home Current for Castles in Space during 2019. Following the polished industrialisms and eighties inspired grooves of LP “Civilian Leather” and an immediately sold-out 7”, Martin Jensen returns with his final record of the year recorded in praise of a long deceased nightclub called Candy Junction. Recalling the euphoria and positivity of a club night, this towering work shift gears from “Civilian Leather” to full on, futuristic, air cooled dance floor assault. The original plan for this record was to release a white label promo with a facsimile DJ feedback sheet. Straight from 1991 with love. However, as the music developed, it was agreed that this needed a full official release with all the tinsel and trimmings.

Presenting another fully legit, remastered and repackaged reissue from the WD vaults! Brand new style for 2020.

Londons "Warriors Dance" Label was a unique operation + pioneering London label during the late 80's acid house phenomena. Home to an assortment of DJs, MCs and soundmen, they went on to make their own original and indelible mark on the rave scene from the infamous 'Addis Ababa' studio on Harrow Road on the North-West side of the city.

A former reggae and soul studio that was instrumental to the output of influential artists like Soul II Soul and more, a steady diet of reggae, bass, hip-hop, house and techno kept their edgy, and diehard UK sound and style right at the cutting edge of the dance music underground across the globe with the top DJs and producers of the day celebrating the label. The studio, helmed by label owner Tony ‘Addis’, acted as an incubator for artists whose names would go down in the history books.

No Smoke was one of the main and best known outfits on this cult label. Their mammoth worldwide, cult club smash 'Koro Koro' is still in DJ bags across the galaxy today! 'Righteous Rule' is another tuffy from this crew, some heavyweight bassline madness for the dance.

All the elements of the WD sound are here, a perfect mix-up of Reggae vibes, jacking house and tribal badness rolled into one. A proper record, to be played on a proper system! This one's become a rare catch out in the wild, and is fetching some P's on the web among the collectors. Here's a nice 2020 repress for you, done the right way!

No Smoke 'Righteous Rule' is the pure unadulterated WD vibe, featuring original label artwork tweaked by Atelier Superplus and lovingly remastered by Curvepusher, UK. Special thanks to Nicky Trax & Tony Addis. Proudly distributed by Above Board distribution. 2020.

Die erste Veröffentlichung auf Ellen Alliens BPitch Label in 2020 kommt von Sunil Sharpe, einem herausragenden irischen DJ und Produzenten, der seit den frühen 2000er Jahren für seinen rohen, individualistischen Techno bekannt ist.

Der Titeltrack gibt mit seinen kraftvollen Beats und einprägsam nagenden Sequenzen den Ton vor: funky, extrem physisch und mit seinem “Just A Dream” Vocal, das sich wie ein Schleier über eine quietschende Acid-Schraube legt, im richtigen Maß psychedelisch. Das A2-Stück “Timber” nimmt dieses Thema auf und marschiert mit säuselnden Acidlines, Stimmen aus dem Geisterhaus und funky Chicago-House-Reminiszensen in Richtung Break, bei dem eine verwunschene Melodie, Vogelzwitschern und einsetzende Chöre das Ganze in Richtung rituelle Kult-Musik schieben. Auf B1 “Amun” moduliert Sunil Sharpe sinistre Sequenzen, bei dem Synth Stabs vereinzelt Licht ins Dunkel schießen – für die speziellen Monente auf dem Dancefloor, die extatisch und in sich verschlossen gleichzeitig sind. Die B2-Nummer “Ukkin” schließlich sendet Morsecodes aus den 90er Jahre Chicago Basements, extrem funky und unbedingt zeitgemäß.

Vinyl Only, dedicated to my family, my supporters and all the music lovers. The fifth chapter come directly from burbi’s studios made by Lapucci as M47714. Fresh retrò futuristic sounds, melancholic melodies join rays of happiness, straight and break beats join 80’ spacey synths to begin the jorney thru the mediatic forms of communication that invaded our life. Beware of medias, trust your ears.

After the first classy, deep and aetherial 12" back in May 2019, B2 Recordings is back with it's second release, and here we see the labelowner Bengoa move things forward with a three-track EP of all original material following a five-year hiatus. Title-cut 'Forest Law' takes the lead with robust, organic percussion at its core while wandering subs, airy, circling synth lines and vocal chants ebb and flow throughout the groove to create a rolling, hypnotic groove. 'A Little More' opens the flip-side next, embracing a dub leaning feel with choppy stab echoes, crunchy drums and bumpy bass hits before 'Corponation' rounds out the release, laying focus on expansive voice murmurs, airy atmospherics and an acid tinged bass hook alongside loosely shuffling, jazz tinged drums.

Lost tapes from Khan, a collection of unreleased gems from a master. 200 limited copies, underground anthem alert!

TOWER OF ACID is the latest release by Toronto electronic music scene veteran Heiki(Hey-Key), the man behind the infamous Toronto EBM project,Digital Poodle.The vinyl edition features five tracks of relentless, industrial-strength, jacking acid house.A radical departure in soundfrom Heiki’s previous albums, which mainly focused more on downtempo, ambient dub techno sounds, Tower Of Acid, as the title implies, is a pure acid house record. The album relies on analogue 303-style synth sounds and acid house/new beat/industrial influenced rhythms. Most of the recordings were made in a single live off the floor pass. Later edits and over dubs of shortwave radio bursts, phased analogue synthesizer pads and vocoded voices were added to the electronic wall of sound. Themes include abuses of power, fraud, failed populist charlatans and fake news, running rampant in this increasingly dystopian times.

Our debut vinyl-only is a VA which comes from different artists and places. At first Lowris and his solid bass line and drum metric changes on "Setup 6.0" are the perfect mix to atmospheric sounds and minimal vibes. Then arrives FÆR (The project leaded by the well-known artists Argenis Brito & Felipe Valenzuela) a cut plenty of raw sounds and acid brushstroke which fits perfectly when the euphoria is coming. Ema Remedi begins the B side with vocal slices, soft pads and devastating bass line, finally Jaffa Surfa comes with a timeless cut called "Iznot", a track lots of house vibes, breakbeats and dance floor focus.

After over ten years of Hercules & Love Affair, Andy Butler offers three reimagined versions of classic Hercules tunes and a piece of new music on the ‘Change EP’. Producer with current partner in crime Alec Storey (aka Second Storey), the two have been touring the Hercules catalogue with an approach that incorporates a proper dose of techno while duly engaging Storey’s penchant for breaks and intricate percussion work. Butler decided to put a few of these reworks out for DJs and dancefloors, offering the chance for these great Hercules moments to shine once again.

Cinthie’s we_r_house imprint stands as a platform for more stripped-back, groove led house cuts and across the past few years has released material from the likes of Toman, Revivis, Julian Anthony, Alessio Viggiano and of course the label-head
herself. Here we see the imprint welcome Kevin Over onto the roster, most notably known for his releases on the likes of DJ Steaw’s House Puff, Kerri Chandler’s Madhouse Records and Gerd’s 4Lux amongst others.
‘Try Minus 10’ leads with dusty drum breaks, soft Rhodes chords and soulful vocals before ‘Lunte’ lays down a disco infused feel via funky bass lines, chanting vocal loops, horn stabs and filtered guitar licks.
’20 Dollar House’ featuring Marlon opens the flip-side, taking things back to a more classic house aesthetic via gritty stab sequences, swinging 909 drums, soaring vocals and jazzy piano melodies before ‘Fake 89’ rounds out the release on a deeper

Journey through vivid sonic currents and a state which might as well be regarded as Rashim's magnum opus: this is a new height with a mini album as the sixth release on ARR. The more basic and primal spirit of this release encapsulates Rashim's music in a way which makes total sense. Bound over for tracks, which all displays a different perspective of this dramatic colossus.

Femur's second release goes deeper into totally unsettling, dark and gloomy sounds. This time with one of our most valued fellow artists Celldöd. We are proud to press the track 'Terrorbalans' for the first time on vinyl. It had been previously released on cassette by Celldöd himself on his own platform Brutal Disciplin. He has also included two unreleased tracks; the machine-like 'Svart Sira' and 'Socker', dirtier and naughtier. The closure to this second reference is a magnificent remix by Swedish duo Fishermen, originally released on Brutal Disciplin, too.

Mysterious Berlin label MASK return in 2020 with a vinyl only release consisting of a pair of raw cuts entitled ‘Marilyn’.
MASK preserve their esoteric philosophy of delivering well-crafted, modulated house and techno cuts produced on hardware equipment and ‘Marilyn’ certainly follows suit. MASK releases are the result of anonymous artists live jamming together in unison with the first five releases picking up support from the
likes of Laurent Garnier, Marcel Dettmann, Elena Colombi, Machine Woman and many more.
The A side is 13-minute voyage featuring fluttering, resonant drums, lo-fi synth stabs and growling oscillations that take the focus in the later stages while on the B side sweeping pads, spacey undertones and squelchy, acid soaked sci-fi elements keep the sonical experience obscure yet fascinating throughout.

RVDS "Summer EP" is the soundtrack for the "Summer of love 2013". Starting with a great Acid track with TIN MAN (Acid Test, Global A Records). Then comes a very kittenich, catchy, casio track, a simple "Trip to sun". "Beat the Heat" is a kind of Italo-percussion- weirdo and "Love on the beach" is absolutely Soul, electronic Barry White on Acid. All tracks are fresh with great percussions on delay, just for the summer in rain and sun. Artwork drawn by RVDS himself in comic style and in colour.
