Special vinyl re-issue of Trentemøller's groundbreaking debut album. Includes all of the 13 songs on vinyl for the first time. Triple-vinyl in gatefold sleeve.

Trentemøller's debut album remains one of the few genre-defining and groundbreaking albums in many regards. It's still being praised for its composition and sounddesign alike and sounds as fresh and breathtaking today as it did when it was originally released in 2006.
The Last Resort - a beautifully crafted, astonishing masterpiece, that will leave you breathless. The 13 instrumental tracks together form a wordless musical story, almost like the soundtrack of a movie. It
manages to capture a whole range of emotions in subtle melodic miniatures, dreamy ambiences, dusty beats, deep dub-tracks and driving groove-excursions. An ever-changing kaleidoscope of colours and moods. Although it's an electronic album, it also incorporates live-drums, guitars, bass and other acoustic instruments like celesta, glockenspiel, melodica and even DJ scratching to create a more organic feel. The album received fantastic acclaim from both music fans and journalists around the world and made it into the top-lists of the month, the year, the decade - alongside an array of awards for best production or best album.

Back in 2006, the original pressing only included a selection of songs from the original 13-track album release. It missed out on songs which had been released on singles or didn't "fit" on the so called "vinyl edition". Due to 'public demand' and simply because this album deserves a proper vinyl release we are happy to finally present, for the first time, the full album on vinyl. It spans of three vinyl discs and is packed in a beautiful gatefold sleeve which also holds a download-code. The recut has been carefully crafted from first generation, orignal masters by Calyx in Berlin. Since the album has been praised for its fantastic sound the primary directive was to cut the lacquers for the re-issue so that they would sound exactly the same as the original release, which has been the CD version of the album. No 'digital remastering' or any other alterations have been applied.
All 13 songs of the classic album on one vinyl release for the first time. Triple-Vinyl edition. Gatefold sleeve. download code. original sound-quality. NO digital remastering.

oul Pattern is the name of Mac-Kee's new vinyl label. It's synonymous with the musical focus on different spheres of house, especially RAW house and Chicago house, in which the art of the DJ is rooted since the early 1990s. But anyone who thinks, that the label will be limited by following a pattern like scheme , is very much mistaken ! Rather Soul Pattern wants to reinvent itself with every release.

Jens Schwan, best known as the owner of the THE CLUBMAP magazine and co-founder of ZUG DER LIEBE, has been in the techno scene for 30 years now. "Frontier Reichenberger" marks his debut though when it comes to releasing records.

The title might ring a bell for some of us as it is a literal combination of a track by Underground Resistance and the old location of the Hard Wax record store in Berlin.

The record itself reminds us of classic Chicago House style music - claps, hi-hats and bass drums are neatly pumping their way into this nimbly track with its noisy attitude.

The remix delivered by Jarno Eerola is a playful deep house track, a chugging jazzy piece of music that shuffles along slightly dragged, demanding your attention with loud little surprises.

Jarno releases music under his alias Joe Le Bon and Aitokaiku and has now released three albums and various tracks on labels such as International Deejay Gigolo Records, Pro-Tez, Plastik.FM and Blumenbeat. His remix is a true evidence to his skills in the studio. On a side note, Jarno is not just a DJ and procuder, though - he is a tinkerer and a little bit crazy. He has toured conferences and festivals all over Europe and Russia, building audiovisual installations.

It’s an overall pleasure, having both Jens and Jarno releasing this piece on Dizzy Tracks and it’ll be interesting to see, whether there is more to come

Written in this drunk, sleepless night.
Worshipping of the winds from the east.
A yearning, a whisper from the past.
A feeling at times forgotten, called back when the wind is heard.

Budapest, a synonym for the love of the inner city blues, the rubbish in the gutter, the beauty in the murky corners.
A thought that crept up on me in a second, a part of my journey.

Including 3 remixes from the lovely WAREIKA, Kalabrese and Mushrooms Project

Argentinian Duo Toollbox presents their Aesthetic EP on the freshly launched Ball Park Records.

After several digital publications it is time for the former vinyllabel "Twin Town Production" to present to you a classically oriented house record:

"Compensation" is the title of the first EP of "Roshan Bay", who previously and foremost released under the techno alias of "Lars Landen". In his creation the relatively unknown artist abstains from a whitenoise-studded high gloss production without trailing off to be a grotesquely distorted imitation of the house music origins.

The titletrack is coined by its sheer dissonant atmosphere, driven by a warm-friendly groove and intersected by fluffy chords. "Marylin" in contrast represents swooshing house distinguished by a saxophone sample and the melancholic blues bassline. His interpetation of "C'hantal"s 90's rave manta "The Realm" certainly provides some furore. Additionally suprising is the remixers "Hofuku Sochi" containing a "Vapor Club Edit" of the outro "_" that elevates the whole creation to a contemporary level.

Ben Rau has been steadily developing his unique twist on modern house music over the past few years via his Inkal and Meta imprints with heavy hitter support across the board from Seth Troxler to The Black Madonna.

Recent times have seen Ben expand his sonic palette with a rework of Roy Ayers' classic 'Holiday' for the BBE imprint, tapping into a more soul-infused house style as a nod to the original.
Here we see Ben return to Inkal with a new two-tracker and leading is title-track 'Gravity' which shifts focus back to raw, swinging drums,dub chords , driving bass and intricately processed modulating synths, all laid out over eight minutes in a dynamically unfolding fashion.

'Zero G' then rounds out the package on the flip-

Second release comes from label head Traxman and legendary Fast Eddie!
As goodie on top of this great ep there is the track called "Eddie's House" which was recorded in 1987.
It's now for the first time on vinyl!
