Some songs come along that you seem to know the moment you hear it, even though it's for the first time. In the case of Spark The Universe it had exactly that impact. A mixture of late-60s psychedelic homage, early 80s new wave, white boy soul, plus a good dose of dub, all wrapped around a killer hook and super tight production and a hit was surely made.
The fact there are many deserving records that don't become a hit doesn't mean some are better than others and in fact, the joy in collecting and reissuing is finding amazing songs and bringing them back.
Increasingly heard in the sets of the more discerning DJs, Spark The Universe has become a cult play and with second hand prices now in three figures, a reissue is timely. As the label oft says, no one owns this music other than the writers, musicians and producers and their craft deserves to be appreciated.
Before going on to carve a successful career in 'electronica' project, Euphoria, Toronto's Ken Ramm had shown his considerable writing and playing ability with the 1981 debut LP Dragon and this 1983 follow up, known simply as Ramm.
Coming together through a meeting with a then relatively unknown producer, Daniel Lanois, via a mutual interest in tape loops and dubbing, it was the suggestion to bring in local vocalist Lorraine Segato that Ramm formed.
Recording at Lanois' Grant Avenue Studios, his interest in mixing past and present technology, with multiple digital delay units, harmonizers and other effect processors allowed Ramm and Lanois to explore using the studio as an instrument alongside real musicianship.
Backwards guitars, tremolo bar dives and guitar harmonics are incorporated with the vocals and percussion to perfection. With a 'Dance' and alternative 'Dub', the song's hypnotic and dreamy feel superimposed over beats pin-pointed to the later Euphoria project and with the addition of a latter day 'Discomix', from the labels' own Chuggy, Spark The Universe deserves it's place on contemporary dancefloors.

Ron Bacardi joins RNT with a 4-track inferno of disco edit heat! The A-side races out of the gate with the galloping 'Back For More,' followed by the soulful bounce of 'Circles,' which loops a gritty guitar-driven hook to perfection. The B side kicks off with 'Music Play,' an easy-breezy synth-string, electric piano, and horn-laden affair. Swirling percussion and soaring falsettos take us home on 'Never Dance,'but don't get it twisted: with Señor Bacardi at the controls, dance you WILL!

Ben Gomori's Monologues Records brings two of its most popular releases to vinyl after a long wait. Laurence Guy's 'Les Mur' EP signalled the start of a great run for the London producer, with releases following on Church, Dirt Crew Recordings and Fort Romeau's Cin Cin. The title track is a graceful, deep piano roller, while 'Sunlite' goes into chuggier, synthier territory.
Young French talent Leon Revol has released on Apersonal and Kolour LTD with some very fine sample-heavy grooves, but 'Clear Definition (Dub Mix)' shows he's not short on his own ideas - with a tinge of the early Herbert sound to it. 'Eulogy For Hip-Hop' takes some lush disco strings and whirls them into a romantic slice of early doors class.
Support: Move D, Dusky, Satoshi Tomiie, Adam Port, Ben Pearce, Moon Boots, Sasse, Jacques Renault, Emika, Atjazz, Tensnake, Waze & Odyssey, Shiba San, Bill Brewster, Steve Mac, Mia Dora, Golf Clap, Moodymanc, Debukas, Jamie Trench, Small Pyramids, Sean Brosnan, Steve Selador, Meggy, Manuel Sahagun, Ranacat, Schnee, Severino, Danvers, Rancido, Tyree Cooper, JEPE, Christophe, Anil Chawla, Tayo, Anna Wall

The unpredictable nature of life for a band with members scattered around the globe have forced Guts to give his line-up a shake to start their various tours in the best possible conditions.
A Brand New Revolution!
So Leron Thomas gave way to Wolfgang Volburn, who is also lead vocalist of The Ephemerals. Mary May climbed onto Lorine Chia's throne. Beat Assailant plucked a mic from the air that was still burning from the flow of Von Pea. While Florian Pellissier remains riveted to the keyboards, versatile Greg F. on the bass and Nico Rajao on drums, Guts has gobbled up the miles and bestrode stage after stage at the head of a revitalised live band.
New recruits had kept enhancing the well-practised repertoire with their vibes, redefining some of the contours, adding a bit more soul here or a lightness of touch there. Their impact was so great, in fact, that changing line-ups have become part of the band's identity.
Galvanized by this new alchemy, Guts and his new-look live band stopped off in the studio to compose and record some new tracks which he has brought together on "Stop the Violence", a five-track record that's more like a mini-album than a simple EP.
High on this regenerating juice, energy levels spiking into the red, "Ain't Perfect", "Pick Me Up", "Everybody Wants to Be a Star", "Drummer's Delight" and the title track light up boxes marked soul, afro, disco and jazz, brighten a groove carpeted with retro-funky keyboards and the brass of Cotonete, Heavenly Sweetness's resident jazz-funk specialists. Two birds with one stone, since Guts and his live band will obviously use "Stop the Violence" to set the stage ablaze after burning up people's decks.

Stefan Vincent brings the heat with his first solo EP for Anagram, titled 'A Way Out'. The EP opens with 'She Will Keep An Eye Out On Catastrophe': a stunning modernist take on classically composed ambient music. The title track is a melancholic and building track with a healthy dose of four-to-the-floor power. We continue on the flip side with 'Join Us In The Waves': a percussive and swingy acid workout. The last track on ANAGRAM009 is Vincent's 'Everything I See Returns To You Somehow' and it shows the more electro-oriented side of Stefan Vincent's productions with a subtle wink to 90s IDM. Although his approach regarding this track stands on its own, the same profound atmospheric vibe the rest of the tracks have echoes through this layout as well. It's that same echo that stays with us as one of the highlights of our discography comes to an end. Stefan approached this release as a multidisciplinary composition, in which he explores both his musical talent as well as his talent for visual design and painting. The cover artwork of 'A Way Out' was painted by Stefan himself with his music for this release in mind, giving the EP a true Gesamtkunstwerk feeling. This is Anagram number 9, get on it.

REPRESSED !
They could do weird edits or make eastern influenced dance music, collect gear and sit home or adapt library music for the dance floors.
Or they could get together and make The Secret Weapon.
It doesn't really matter who they are and it doesn't really matter that it's just a demo, luckily rescued on a USB stick before their HD failed, what does matter is that it always rocks the party.

Did you know Voguing, which gained mainstream exposure through Malcolm McLaren or Madonna, owes a little of its fortune to France : since the late eighties, this underground movement born in the Harlem ballroom scene fascinated the very first missionaries of house music à la française, whether they'd be DJs, journalists or promoters. Around the world, most of the wonderful Queens of Vogue had a break through with their performances in music videos on MTV, but nowhere else other than in Paris did we take this New-York gay and multicultural counter-culture so seriously. It didn't caught the attention of young producers nor rub off on the pavement of any other city. Therefore, it is without surprise that with their upcoming album « House of Melancholy », Acid Washed, a duo that arose from the second wave of French house, are bringing back a concentrate of everything that house music encloses (we will never say it enough) of polictical, social, utopian, and subversive matters.
Because it's in the legendary club culture, with its heroes and its secret stories, that Andrew Claristidge and Richard d'Alpert found the clay, the ideas and the outline of pretty much everything that they wanted to inject into Acid Washed. Two house music and techno lovers swaying between nocturnal experiences and encyclopedias, both musicians picked up the house nation as an haven, a home to live in, a place to learn and exchange. One grew up next to the cradle of French techno (Grenoble), the other was trained on classical music, new-wave and punk : Andrew and Richard did indeed cross paths around a substrate named Daft Punk, but above all and later on, around the sprawling club culture which came to life at the same moment in Chicago, Detroit and Manchester, and gave birth to the duo. Considered as a return to the origins of house and techno music after the euphoric unpacking of a big bangish first album, « House of Melancholy » however proposes a synthetic cocktail, highly indiosyncratic : a return to the origins of their own house and their own techno. In this way, the ones who would only see Acid Washed as a pair of skillful technicians of vintage synths and references are in for a surprise. We won't dance nor dream to the songs of « House of Melancholy » like to any other album, always higher and louder, and a little bit stronger too.

For the fourth release of Hello Sailor Recordings, boss lady Renata do Valle curated the sounds of Fatnotronic and Joutro Mundo, two of Brazil's major Disco forces, to collaborate on the project, featuring edits from Gretchen 'Super Sexy' and 'Tudao' from Banda Black Rio. The new versions deliver a longer and punchier bass line and a groove that got extended to satisfy our ears and resulting in a dance floor-minded record, faithful to its original brilliance.
Jonas Rocha, the talent behind Joutro Mundo has been active in the underground scene of Rio de Janeiro for over 17 years.
Jonas has produced several parties in Rio, including the legendary Bootleg party that has run for over ten years.
Both as DJ and producer, he stood out with projects such as Superagua which gave him recognition as a producer and made him a featured DJ at the Red Bull Music Academy in 2002.
As Joutro Mundo got a great response in the nu-disco & disco re-edit scene worldwide. Founder of a project aiming to preserve the sacred chants of Brazil and with an intention to overcome prejudices toward the neglected indigenous tribes of South America, whilst working to approach contemporary music, Rocha won the award 'Funarte de Musica Brasileira' with the CD Cantos Yawanawa.
Fatnotronic is comprised of Rodrigo Gorky and Phillipi Alves.
The duo is known for an effervescent energy at parties and imprinting it onto their music. Their edits, often of obscure Brazilian Boogie, Disco and Balearic, is a meticulous work of long hours record digging in their native Sao Paulo.
Fatnotronic has released work under Chit Chat Records, Deewee and Razor-n-Tape.
The latter, which featured the anthem Margarida, was debuted live on BBC Radio6 with the blessings of Fatboy Slim.
They also recorded an exclusive live mix for "Diplo & Friends" on BBC Radio1, showcasing their latest productions and Brazilian charm alike.

Skatebård is back on Untz Untz Records. This time in collaborative mode with Stiletti-Ana to present: The Finsk-Norsk Body Language Society.
The short version of the story goes: Skatebård and Stiletti-Ana meet at a party they both played at hosted by Untz Untz in Berlin 2011. Stiletti was there as part of the duo Jesse. A drum machine gets a Skate signature on it at the end of the night. Jesse remixes Skate's 'Confirmation Bias' track for Untz Untz in 2013. Fast forward to 2017 and here we are with the deal that was unknowingly signed in 2011 fulfilled.
This record was recorded, mixed & dubbed live straight to a two track stereo tape recorder, during a fine January weekend in 2017 at Stiletti's Haista II Studio on the island Suomenlinna outside Helsinki. We hope you like Standard Moderne, a Moderne Standard.

Mirror Test' conjures that rare mood between darkness and elation, contemplation and celebration, and drives it home with an infectious, jacking rhythm section which recalls the late-80s NY club music of Boyd Jarvis and Paul Simpson, and labels like Easy Street and Fourth Floor, but imbues the sound with a toughness and precision only possible today. Analog synth figures, glassy and angular, ricochet around the track, trading jabs with funky snare work and robotic, stabby chord patterns to create a hook-laden machine groove which demands repeated listening.
The record's B-side feature, 'Replace Yourself,' is the subtler, dreamier, more futuristic of the two. Unmistakably urban with its swinging, bottom-heavy groove and strange, architectural chord work, it seduces and transports. 'Replace Yourself' dares you to do exactly that.

Emotional Response again teams up with Meda Fury and Sad City to present an EP of remixes from the acclaimed debut album, Shapes In Formation. Enlisting a killer tag-team of DJ Nature, HOLOVR and Herron to bring their own retakes of Gary Caruth's music, arrives with justified anticipation. The success of Sad City's debut opus was a deserved conclusion to a journey across third world ambient, found sound samples and jazz-touched beats. All are reworked and expanded here while retaining the artist's all encompassing atmospheric oeuvre. First Milo Johnson dons his DJ Nature moniker for two mixes of Steady Jam. The stand out of the album for many, it seemed right to request Milo's skills to push the sample-based loops to a deep dance floor. Rolling congas, skipping hats and the teasing, soulful melodies come together to work their magic. Vocal and Dub are crafted and cut as one long-form take for the more adventurous, this is dub-disco for the today's real (to reel) entertainers. Side two is given over to rising names in HOLOVR and Herron. With releases on Opal Tapes, Further and Firecracker Recordings, Jimmy Billingham 303-infused sound is perfect in reshaping Caruth's trip that is Pace, Movements I-IV. Building slowly with trademark 909 meets acid, kick eventually arrives to take the remix beyond head nodding to swinging minds and hearts. The EP closes with a perfect dismantle and rebuild by Manchester's Herron. A man of talents, Sam Lewis is pushing his City's cultural landscape via the Soup Kitchen venue, co-running the on-point Meandyou Records, while still having time to record solo as Herron and for Hinge Finger as one half of CO/R, alongside label head Joy Orbison. The glitch beats, drone synthesis and orchestral vocal snatches of Rain fuse and percolate in the mind's eye. Sad City. Reshaped in transformations.

Following a joint live performance in 2016, Butter Sessions present the latest collaborative effort from Albrecht La'Brooy (Analogue Attic) & Sleep D (Butter Sessions).
This EP sees AL & SD blend their respective styles in a stimulating way. From 50 begins the EP with steady 909 grooves and a subtle oscillating acid bass that builds into another dimension. Hotham breaks the pace with atmospheric space leads looking down on a mountain of kick drums.
Banksia is the most psychedelic of the four, planting seeds of heavily resonating synths atop of floating drum rhythms and warm melodies. Lastly, Sleeping Patterns takes it down a few notches into a daydream of flute-like synths and distant nostalgic vocals.

House pioneer Thee J Johanz reworked his 1992 Irdial house classic 'Move Your Butty'. With remix by Prins Thomas and the sublime remastered 1992 original.
The original Move Your Butty (1992) gained cult status and the time seems right for a re-release of this gem. It was originally out on the legendary London based Irdial Records. Thee J Johanz decided to replace samples with synths, which gave him the freedom to create a totally fresh and moody remix, good enough to keep our butty's moving for the next 20 years. The strings of the Elka Synthex give you wings, while the typical Move Your Butty bassline is pumpin you up. Expect the unexpected from Prins Thomas' remix: very refreshing funky eighties electro vibes, or is it the sound of the future An original approach with an oasis of Move Your Butty references in the middle. An excellent remix of the remix.

These tracks (both 13 Minutes) Paradise / In Love An Arc make the debut recording by AMOR, a new quartet based largely in Glasgow, consisting of Richard Youngs, Luke Fowler, Michael Francis Duch and Paul Thomson. AMOR is a master-class in blissful, searching, avant-disco fuelled by telepathic ensemble playing and an untouchable, higher joy. While unmistakably Dance music, these are analog recordings, sounds in a room, in space. The musicians are messengers, the message is love.
Recorded at Chem 19 at Green Door in Glasgow, it was mixed with Golden Teacher/The Modern Institute-member Richard McMaster. Both tracks edge the 14 minute mark, slices of ecstasy seemingly hewn from a band deep in the Zone. Mastered by Matt Colton at Alchemy Studios, the balance between hefty, bass-thick kicks and crisp percussion, an elastic double bass that lends a bounce to proceedings and floating piano chords recalls a warped take on Philadelphia International Records, a version of This Heat decimating the disco charts of late 70s USA. Paradise begins with a proto-house kick drum and Paul Thomson's inescapably funky percussion, inviting Duch's bass into the mix. Fowler's subtle electronic touches set up some of the most open-hearted, love-infected vocals Richard Youngs has ever set to tape. Guided through various drops and ecstatic highs by ceaselessly inventive rhythm composition, the listener is elevated to several plains, to different levels and spirits.
In Love An Arc arguably goes deeper. Jane Sayer's guest violin scrapes us in, with formless shapes polluting the stereo field until a plaintive piano chord pattern brings us into the groove. Sounding like a lost spirit looking through the glass darkly, Youngs' vocal is melancholic and truthful. Fowler's synth playing evolves upward, duetting with the stringed instruments' deep excursions into the night. While these are only the first recordings by AMOR, the members have separate exceptional histories in modern music. Richard Youngs has a 140+ long discography covering any number of musics often invented by Youngs himself, while Luke Fowler is an award winning film-maker and visual artist, as well as an electronic musician in his own right. Paul Thomson is a drummer and percussionist with Franz Ferdinand and The Yummy Fur and Michael Francis Duch is a double bassist based in Norway with deep roots in the world of improvisation and minimalist composition. Most importantly, however, is that this is the sound of a band, as one.

Mikkel Nordsø and Ole Thiell are no newcomers. Influential key players both on Copenhagen's jazz scene and on the international circuit since the late 1970s, they have recorded and performed with such greats as Santana, L. Subramaniam, Jan Akkerman and George Duke to name but a few. Their numerous
local projects include the much revered Bombay Hotel trio featuring Kenneth Knudsen. On their first record from 1989, they bridged the gaps between fusion jazz, new age and traditional Asian folk music into ethereal expressions that stand out even today.
With this new album for Music For Dreams, the duo delves deeper into that soundscape with an even more profound knowledge of their instruments. With Nordsø on the flute and guitar and Thiell on various percussion instruments, they form a musical language together that reaches high spiritual levels while carefully blending electronic instrumentation to complete the experience.
Guest vocalist Caroline Francesca steps in on the opener "Good Morning" and the closer "Sun Fo Ni" - the first being a sun-drowsy Brazilian-inspired jam, while "Sun Fo Ni" leans further towards crisp English folk. The inclusion of Francesca comes naturally, as she is the daughter of percussionist and long-time collaborator Jacob Andersen (who also releases on Music For Dreams as Bongo Entp.) making this quite a family affair.
Named after a harbour town in Morocco, the track "Essaouira" weaves field recordings of children playing in the sun together with brooding oriental folk and a discrete drum machine beat.
For "Japtal" the flute takes centre stage, leading us on a serene journey that unfolds into improvised passages along a chugging heavy groove, escalating and releasing in tempo much like the breathing techniques of yoga.
"Velvet Sky" sees the duo at their most relaxed, letting it ride on feather light ambient chords and noodling out into a wigged out prog rock ballad.
"B Phrygian" takes us into ancient Anatolian territory, again showcasing the duo's vibrant live instrumentation with Thiell hurling an army's worth of percussion layers onto the dusty beaten path laid out by Nordsø's stone-faced psychedelic assaults.
This album is a classic in the making already getting strong support from Phil Mison and Manchester's Moonboots who declared it "the best record I have heard in the last 10 Years!" Don't miss...

Well, KAT Records reach the ripe ol' age of 21 with an exactly what it says on the tin release being the Giant Cuts EP which pays testament to the versatility that's seen the KAT label take on board varying styles & ge-nres since it's conception back in 2007.
This 4 tracker of gargantuan proportions from edit hot shot Deadly Sins sees both classic and underground cuts getting the royal edit treatment and then some this time, mainly focusing on disco, soul & funk.
Starting proceedings we have El Afro, a wicked up tempo disco beauty with an ace afro disco conga loop, squelchy bass, clavs a plenty and love boat-esque keys & strings.....Proper!
Hot on the heels we have Shave a Pair. This absolute Loft classic gets that all important break beefed up and stretched out to satisfy all your dj & dance floor needs.
Mary's Red Hot Grooves kicks off the flip. Originally by Mary Wilson and out in '79 this rolls funk, soul & disco into one producing a monster of a dancer that is simply irresistible - Again, that the break's been stretched followed by a mighty fine arrangement that takes this track from good to great.
Last but no means least we have Give Me Your Love - Originally penned by none other than Curtis Mayfield and covered by Sisters Love in 1973. Deadly Sins firmly has the dj in mind with this re-assembly laying the building blocks and slowly building from the break then those meltingly good vocal stabs hit followed by that riff. Soul music at it's finest !

Die Orangen, aka aussie producers Dreems & Kris Baha are teaming up for the first time with 2 new unreleased jams under their new alias. Slow and atmospheric, yet punching and grooving Die Orangen managed to meltdown genres into 100bpm 11 minute long trippy trancey bonanza with a substantial amount of jungle psychedelia and heavy drum machines. One Day in Sheperton is a more drum oriented industrial power house tune. With the diggerido and distorted voices coming in towards its 2nd half. This ep includes, as expected from the Malka Tuti crew, with awesome remixes by Italian maestros Fabrizio Mamarella (of Slow Motion records) and Alessandro Adriani (of Mannequin records), Oodandatta Rain is an ep that throws the listener back to the early days of partying in Anjuna beach, when trance was not yet a genre, but a state of mind, and where the "tribal element" could be found in all sorts of bizzarre contexts and remote corners...

No one else but one of Chicago's finest DJ Lil 'Tal is responsible for the ninth Footjob release. The underground veteran has brought himself to attention in the 90s by releasing on the legendary label Dance Mania. "Who Came To Boogie" on the A-side is a pretty disco loop combined with tight and uncompromising drums - undeniably an ear-piercing banger - followed by the label owner Phonk D's insane filtered remix version. The B-side consists of the rough, reduced-to-minimal drum track "Jack Your House" plus the funky sample tune "Buzz The Doctor" with a beat that makes your dancing feet run straight to hospital. FOOTJOB german record label launched in 2014. run by Phonk D - focussing on house music made for dancing feet.

Following the astounding success of their first release with Chaos In The CBD, YAM Recordings return with the first installment of their You And Music compilation series.
This 5-track release features Leonidas, MSSS, Sofatalk, Tom Esselle and Z Lovecraft. Compiled by shop owners Theo & Tom and born of relationships forged at YAM Records on Rye Lane, it represents both local and international talent that they've had the pleasure of crossing paths with over the past 3 years.
Tom Esselle's 'Le^let' kicks things off with a traditional Guadeloupean folk song re-worked for the club. Driven by tropical percussion and a hefty bass line, the call-and-response vocal elevates the track.
MSSS follows with 'This Is A Modern Drugs Party'. This track chugs along, interlaced with African and Far Eastern influences, while tuned percussion adds a hypnotic element. Modern drugs party indeed.
On the flip, Italian maestro Sofatalk offers up 'Truth Theme', an afro- broken-beat masterpiece prime for the summer. Polyrhythmic percussion, twisted horn samples and vibe solos carry the release from the nightclub to the beach.
Leonidas takes things back to the floor on 'Shesha Dub)'. This analogue hardware session delivers crisp hats, acid bass lines and synth stabs aplenty. The syncopated rhythms drive the track through five-and-a-half minutes of pure groove.
Finally, Z Lovecraft closes the compilation with 'Oceanic' a live jam recorded in one take. This track invokes memories of video games, beach life and sun-kissed afternoons, transporting the listener to an audio oasis via a digital ocean.

Next up on Hell Yeah is "the most Balearic record I have ever released" according to label boss & It comes from Japan's disco don Max Essa which features a four part track, Themes From The Hood, The Cad, & The Lovely, on one side of vinyl, and two more on the flip. Essa was born Matthew Bruce and the UK artist has now been releasing his blissed out beats on labels like Feel Music, Electric Minds, Bear Funk and Is It Balearic Recording for a decade. A prolific producer whose big hits like Panorama Suite/Uptown Vibration (Is iT Balearic) from 2010 have long been in the Hell Yeah boss's record bag,
Essa first approached the label with a bunch of tracks.
A "good correspondence alchemy" ensued and together the artist and label decided to put out the most timeless 12" possible.
The exquisitely ambitious 'Themes From The Hood, The Cad, & The Lovely' is almost 12 minutes of serene ambient synth work that is like a soundtrack to a hot summer's day.
Heavenly chords sound just like a breathy female vocal and as they come and go, one finger piano tinkles add real emotional beauty and gentle twinkles shimmer in the distance.
Half way through lazy drums propel things along at a loveably lethargic pace and immediately place you on the beach.
On the flip, 'Saguaro' is just as organic and beautiful, but has tumbling drums, wooden hits and soft claps as well as Essa's magical synth work all bathing your soul in warm rays. B2 'Buran Chime' is perfectly horizontal and expansive, with tinkling triangles,angelic chords and scattered hits and harpsichord sounds all radiating effusively.
This is timeless music that will calm busy minds now and forever.

Special remarks Artwork by Dj Fett burger
Ring, ring! Hot on the heels of the transcendental and mystical "Vibe Telemetry" long-player of the man like Telephones, we proudly present: Vibe Remixes. Some of you might notice the irony between the lines. A producer who goes by the name of Call Super is remixing an artist known as Telephones. But, we rather rivet you on his 8:59 long skippy dub journey that recalls (pun intended) an atmosphere that could be found in the space between Smith & Mighty, the LTJ Bukem of his youth, Italian house records, British Balearics and bass affine music (of whatever providence). A magical mystery. But we don't hang up here. DJ Fett Burger is treating the other side and only he himself knows how he made what he did. 14:51 min of almost every style ever invented in the scope of house music. Designed for people blessed with an everlastingly short attention span and DJs on the lookout for a toilet break and a coffee break or whichever break, it leaves its listener speechless. And: it's so much fun that once it's over, you want to redial Fett Burger's number immediately.
