The mighty Philomena is back.

Multinotes is a record label created by Lehar, Musumeci and Olderic and it is open to anyone ready to expose their very own
musical point of view. This is not a "family", this is a private club for modern, open minded people ready to challange themselves and
the rules of unknown. Multinotes first release it comes from the italian close friend and long time producer Enzo Elia which
delivered an intense three tracker ep written together with his mate Gianluca Tavaroli (IMGL).

TB is the alias of Permanent Vacation label co-head Tom Bioly. His releases as TB so far
are "Invitation To Love" on John Talabot's Hiverned 10" imprint (was voted amongst the best
10" releases by UK Fact magazine), and "City Girl" on Permanent Vacation, of which
German Groove magazine wrote "..entirely superb..".

"Heartbreak Hotel" is a double twelve-inch release with eight tracks of melancholic dance noir
set in smoke-filled darkness. Acid bobbles, distorted strings and echoed guitars are mangled
and layered on machine beats and disco drums.

Widely acclaimed DJ and producer Kölsch has delivered the release of his brand-new single 'The Lights', a collaborative production made alongside dance heavyweight Sasha. Set for release on Kölsch's IPSO label, the track - a cleverly crafted progressive embodiment of both artist's signature styles - follows the imprint's previous records 'Dogma' and Tiga collaboration 'HAL'. Already supported by Pete Tong on BBC Radio 1's rave lounge, 'The Lights' solidifies IPSO's reputation as one of dance music's leading labels, with the Dane expanding the brand to Miami, Watergate Berlin, and Amsterdam Dance Event last year. Kölsch also recently performed two sold out IPSO shows to 8,000 people in Antwerp, playing two extended 10 hour sets on consecutive nights at Belgian venue Waagnatie. Roping in the talents of 'Last Night On Earth' label founder Sasha, the DJ and producer's imprint recently celebrated the landmark of 100 releases with a special debut compilation. Releasing records on Kompakt, Late Night Tales, and Watergate, Sasha also mixed last year's fabric 99 compilation and recently launched his La Fleur collaboration 'Förbindelse' on LNOE. Proving his skills outside of the studio as well as in it, the dynamic DJ - who has amassed a reputation as a true figurehead of the Ibiza scene, performing at the likes of DC-10 and Privilege - will perform upcoming sets at Motion Bristol, Vujyaday Festival, a forthcoming US tour, and a 3-date Easter schedule around the UK with John Digweed. Well known for his genre-defining cuts, Kölsch has sold millions of records all over the world under his many different monikers, including seminal LP '1977' and his widely acclaimed albums '1983' & '1989', with the latter including the anthem 'Grey'. Labelled as 'The king when it comes to piano and house music' by Annie Mac, Kölsch looks set for another busy summer this year with performances lined up at the likes of Printworks London, DGTL Amsterdam, Awakenings Festival, Sonus and Creamfields.

John Talabot and Pional bring back their Lost Scripts project to start a series of 12" with some of the jams the duo has been recording during these past years between Barcelona, Madrid and Giske. The release comes housed in a sleeve by Arnau Pi.

Release #4 on Verdicchio Music Publishing arrives close behind pop driven single "All I Need" in contrasting fashion. Sliding away from robust stabs, and immodest piano hooks, "Sofware" is more genial. While warm, sustained chords blend with tearjerking melodic accents, no specific element takes the lead; the title track is a communal venture. "Dead Channel" follows along similarly, with a timid warble at its core. Halfway through, the harmony seems to all fall apart, but the groove continues and the melody sings to the finish. The B side fades in with a beat-absent number featuring wafts of phased out strings and a sporadic melody that bends and shrieks, all twisted up by a dying Vestax delay. Starting calm, "Scroll Up" moves through waves of soft pads, juggled percussion and digital organ, into a sea of weighty sub and synthetic keys, swiftly followed by a crescendo of progressive stabs and wailing vocals.... not to give it all away. This record was made in a windowless room at the top of Montreal's Saint Hubert Plaza.

Exactly one year after their sold-out debut album Zest, Die Orangen (aka Dreems & Kris Baha) are zurück! Malka Tuti and Die Orangen have concocted a double dish, a two part remix package, Saft 1 & Saft 2.

The first part consists of a new live version of the track Yaranabe, recorded in a live session as part of the Duo's infamous analogue live act. A2 is Tapan's remix of Metal Man. The poem-not-poem is taking shape as a low bpm banger when Tapan's heavy signature kick meets those trippy vocals. This is Tapan's first track to be made after finishing their debut Album last year on MT, and its an interesting evolution of their sound, slow dark and punchy, yet with these vocals and bassline, also a catchy post-pop track for the later hours.

On the B-side lies Gordon Pohl's reimagination of Mersey River (aka 'the Platypus track'). The tracks 'epic", long slow ambient opening and evolution into rhythm resembles in many ways the psychedelic collaboration works of the late Pete Namlook & Move D on Namlooks own Fax records, which was always a significant influence on the Malka Tuti world.

It was about time for a full album to be released by one of our favourite 030303 artists, the great Rolando Simmons, who's already fed us some amazing eerie and psychedelic bouncy electronic funk, both self released and on this magical label from the Netherlands. This record travels deep into the melancholic mind of the producer and on a wide variety of levels. Opening track Natron gets you right away with an unusual mix of comforting and uneasy atmospheric acid-electro. Dew then, is so touching it hurts - in a classic IDM way that is, with plenty of meandering melodies falling over each other; nothing short of epic this one. Hydrogen Line shows yet another very different side of Simmons, one where fierce, dark and heavy Drexciyan techno/electro vibes reign over your speakers. The heaviest raver on the record is probably Langelo, with the listener being slapped around by sharp, heavy bass wobbles and hard hitting snares, not one for the office! Lastly, closing track Smiley Face is likely to make you grin in a cross eyed kind of way with its intense, synth-heavy and mind bending vibes. Human Touch is an allround, 12 track treat for every braindance fan on the planet. Big tip!

6 Vinyl Box-Set limited to 500 copies - includes the Compilation on CD

Cocoon Recordings presents: Cocoon Compilation S

It's that time of year again when Cocoon Recordings goes into overdrive with the next installment of their legendary compilation series. Incredibly, it's already reached the letter 'S' and just like anything of vintage, the passing of time steadily enhances both the depth and the quality. As always the album brings together some of the most relevant artists of the moment, while the vibe is driven by Cocoon's trusted formula of organic electronics.

Love Over Entropy gets the ball rolling with "As If", offering up smooth, mediterranean vibes designed to stimulate heart-felt communication. It's an open invitation to leave your troubles at the door, exorcise the ghosts of everyday life and return to the source. Stimming's "The Gift That Never Stops To Give" continues in a low slung, tribal vein peppered with jazzed out, tubular percussion as the psychedelics gently take hold. Abstract echoes abound and peripheral effects disorientate around an exquisite hook line found gliding over sun drenched shores. John Talabot and Axel Boman aka Talaboman not only win the most bombastic track name of the year competition, but do a good job living up to it on "Big Room Anthemic Groovy Pounding Trance Dub Bomb. Superb! " The extended intro delivers a heightened sense of anticipation, as gentle bleeps, angular trance riffs and weird frequency occilations toast the synapses.

Emanuele Satie's "Planet XXX" is a perfectly balanced tech house groover, climaxing with an ecstatic breakdown primed to generate an explosion on the dancefloor. "End Days" from Edward then ups the ante with a metallic, New Beat vibe that swamps us in wild analogue noise before the deep brooding pads take over. The abstract, discordant central theme also confirms that we are leaving the warmth and security of the compilation's opening section for darker territories. Analogue squiggles dominate the opening exchanges on Florian Hollerith's "KURZVOR12" as the soundsystem starts pounding relentlessly into the early hours. A strong head is certainly required under pressure from the hypnotic, rasping synth lines.

Raxon gets things rolling on "The Turbulent" with electric hihats snaking through a dense mesh of banging snares that accompany a morphing acid line that seems to ricochet off the walls of some cavernous pressure chamber. "Jaded" then takes us into the realms of full-on industrial techno as Mark Broom transports us back to the genre's mid 90s heyday. Egbert ramps up the distortion on "Tering" with a flapping sub bass, played out across heavenly vox pads and acid washes. The dream like, retro sci-fi motif makes it one of the stand out tracks due to the fusion of a relentless battery of drums with a crystalline beauty.

As we enter the final straight, "Keep Changing Basslines" from Italian maestro Dino Lenny journeys deeper still, before it unfurls to reveal a myriad of arpeggiating synth and bass lines as the vocal sample of the title suggests. Deep, thoughtful and intelligent, there's also a hint of retro rave culture thrown in for good measure. Neil Landstrumm then takes us to Casio heaven on "Flesh Is A Prison", utilizing crisp sound that carries a laser-guided sting in the tail before Red Axes close things out with "Hevk". A long, spacey intro and more razor-edged riffs that morph and stutter perfectly encapsulate everything that has gone before.

Brimming with timeless melodies, rampaging beats and pressed on eye-catching yellow vinyl, Cocoon's Compilation 'S' effortlessly spans a broad spectrum of contemporary dance music from both veterans and relative fresh talents to the scene. Like a snake constantly shedding its skin, it's reassuring that in 2019 the genre is still mutating and reinventing itself and above all, has so much more to offer. One of the best Cocoon Compilations without a doubt.

Here we go with the 13th edition of the universally-loved PARQUET MOST WANTED EP series, incl. music by Solee, Marc DePulse, Lunar Plane and Alyne! Finest Melodic House & Techno as usual! Enjoy!

Moon Harbour welcome back Super Flu after their appearance on Orbiter II for a series of remixes of their 2007 hit ‘Monaberry.’ Label boss Matthias Tanzmann and the pair themselves offer up fresh new versions.

This track was first released on Lorna in 2007, and Super Flu used its title when they later started their own label. Since then they have put out five studio albums and plenty of EPs on the likes of Mule Musiq and Hommage.

Up first is ‘Monaberry (2019 Werkzeug)’ which is a dark, twisted tech house tune with subtle layers of bells and whistles, scintillating synth lines and creeping darkness all making it utterly absorbing.

Matthias Tanzmann steps up with an excellent remix that is built on crisp house drums and hits. As the toms ping, female vocal coos add soul and a warped bassline prowls down low to bring real menace to this slow-burning banger.

Last of all, the original is included and still sounds standout with its quickened drums, deft synth stabs and floating sense of groove that sweeps you up and carries you away.

These are three very different but equally effective tracks that are guaranteed to make their mark.

Toby Dreher makes Techno spark, Turns your mind into an amusement park. Mechanical like a machine, yet organic like a flower, This record will charge your dancing feet with unknown power.

Hamburg-based Mireia Records is ecstatic toannounce their thirteenth release: Julian Stetter’s “Sensual EP”.
You’ve probably crossed paths with Julian in thelast couple of years. Not only because he’s the tallest guy in Cologne, but the producer and DJ has been actively shaping modern dance music
with his flourishing, melancholic sound. He’s been releasing music with Permanent Vacation, Kompakt, Correspondent and hometown labels Ancient Future Now and PNN.

It’s also not his first time on Mireia Records. Remember the beautiful “Porto” on “We’ll Sea
Pt.1?” Here, Julian presents two original tracks which are reinterpreted by SONNS and Matt
Karmil.
The title track “ Sensual ” manages to erase the mundane, the world’s vanishing around you.
It’s pitched shaker and airy bells evoke introspective tones. The bassline on the other hand
keep you steady - the dancefloor is still visible through the clouds!
“ Rumors ” picks up the pace. Kick drum and syncopated hi-hats set the stage for a serious
bassline, interwoven with fleeting melodies.
Bright and euphoric brushstrokes from Julian’s synth elevate the pace and catapult the track
towards a crescendo. Booming snares signal the peak.
New Release Information
Strobe lights, sweat and ecstasy.
SONNS opens up the B side with the first remix by whispering “ Rumors ” in your ear. A
brooding bass line takes you on a trip to the dark corners of the city. Hypnotically chugging
toms highlight the sights. Let’s get lost tonight!
With his releases on Kompakt and strong DJ Sets SONNS’ been a long time favored entrant
into Mireia Record’s catalogue.
Matt Karmil’s version of 'Sensual', although on B2 of the vinyl, doesn’t hide its assets.
Kicking off with frantic high hats and a distorted glitch, he pushes the track forwards
intriguingly. Arpeggiated melodies layered supremely over the percussion drive the track
forwards, the simplicity of the track and sharp cuts and drops create an interesting dynamic
to the single creating a perfect juxtapose to the other tracks on the release.
Matt’s also been on Mireia’s radar for a long time. His atmospheric adventures for Studio
Barnhus, Smalltown Supersound or Beats in Space always convey a spirit of living, breathing
leeway.

Turning up the Progressive caliber with his contemporary edit, Moscoman turns his hand to Three Drives On A Vinyl's timeless masterpiece. Laden with deliberate rhythms, phasing percussion loops and sparkling melodies, this take on the wonderful 'Greece 2000' marks a sweet trip down memory lane for all kinds of dance music lovers.

Dominik Eulberg presents two choice cuts from his forthcoming fifth studio album ‘Mannigfaltig’, a burning plea to preserve the breathtaking biodiversity of nature.

Juan MacLean and Man Power debut as Juan Power for Life and Death

Life and Death continue to serve up brilliantly unpredictable releases with a new one that brings together American DFA stalwart Juan MacLean with the UK’s Me Me Me label head Man Power, plus an edit from the boss, DJ Tennis.

Juan MacLean is a multi-faceted artist who has a history of everything from playing in post hardcore bands to producing some of DFA’s most celebrated releases. He does classy house bangers with synth pop and disco layers like no one else. Man Power, meanwhile, is someone who is fantastically eclectic in what he does on all fronts as a DJ, label boss and producer. He’s made corrugated acid, hands in the air house and machine disco and plenty in between on his own label, but also cult outlets like Correspondent and ESP Institute. The coming together of these two undoubted studio wizards, then, is a fascinating prospect.

And so it proves right from the off: opener ‘Crescendo’ is a nine minute masterpiece with rickety house drums making you move while the shuffling percussion builds the pressure. Gorgeously warm chords eventually join the fray and have a blissful effect that sets you off dreaming and keeps you in a trance until the end.

DJ Tennis himself then steps up with an edit of ‘Excuse Me Daddy’ that is deep and cavernous. Next to the suspensory pads is an intricate synth line that takes you in on yourself in perfectly melancholic ways.

Closer ‘Praise The Toad’ then picks up the pace with more live sounding drums and a sparkling lead synth that rises and falls to cosmic effect. Drawn out over the full length of the track, and in amongst some chattery claps and smart effects, it makes for a journey to the stars that will cast a real spell on all who hear it.

This is an innovative collaboration between two masters of their craft.

We are happily welcoming Jacob Groening to the Earthly Delights family,
a talented producer that has been on our radar for a while. Jacob comes
through with a very special 3 track EP, which will be our first ever vinyl
release. The EP features his unique sound that he masterfully integrates
into his live shows. Working more with musicians that he records at his
studio, he plays around with the recordings, taking it to the extremes
when it comes to cutting, pitching, warping. “...following my
intentional flow, not trying to force a specific sound. I am more listening
to what sounds are good to me and feel right.”
Jacob uses Prophet 12 a lot for the pads and most synthesized sounds in
EP, using the almighty moog voyager for the bass, recording percussion
and vocals. Most of the recordings are made with long-time friends and
other Berlin musicians. Noah Rott, who played the keys for Fask is Jacob’s
first Piano teacher from Hamburg and they have often collaborated since.
“Another very close friend of mine, Joel Silberkuhl, played the hang drum
for Fask and the guitar for Lacun. I visited him at his house in Luneburg in
northern Germany and we made music all day long. It brought us back to
our jam sessions when we were just 13 years old, playing reggae, hip hop,
jazz and rock...” Joining the release is a Canadian smooth vibes operator, Gab Rhome, who delivers a minimal melodic house vinyl only version
that's perfect to have on a 12”.
This EP interlines Jacobs friendships and experience making it a
heart-warming and truly personal release we are thrilled to share with
you !

Microdosing Vol.1

A product of the transformative power of dance music, Ede moved Berlin after he experienced something magical while dancing to Ame at
Berghain. So enchanted was he by the pivotal moment that he set his sights on making music to be released by Innervisions… And that happened
three years later when his track ‘Jenny’ made it into the label’s ‘Secret Weapons 11’ compilation. Ede’s dark, new wave style has also
piqued the interest of Jennifer Cardini, who signed his music to a V/A on her Correspondant Music label recently. Now the producer joins the
TAU family for a full EP, featuring four original cuts.
‘Raum’ jumpstarts the collection with menacing allure. Whirring analogue forms the core of this deadly track, keeping it tight in the low end
while various layers of synth fizz and snarl. An urgent riff joins the fray, adding depth and energy. Across almost 10 minutes Ede showcases his
ability to create a dark atmosphere and imbue his music with spinetingling theatrics. Fans of the riff will be pleased to find a beatless version of
‘Raum’, which will be useful for creating dramatic moments during DJ sets no doubt.
On side B, ‘Zeit’ brings the pace down slightly. A melancholy synth line evokes feelings of sorrow, while the beat pumps along. Ede uses the full
8 minutes of this track to really build the tension, finally unleashing it halfway through. This could easily be used on the soundtrack for a cyborg
action movie set in the future.
Last up, ‘Unendlichkeit’ is a further demonstration of Ede’s love of futurism, new wave and film noir circa 2080. Here he tells a story with the
machines, each one adding their contribution to the narrative which gets more and more chaotic as the tune progresses.
A very impressive EP, and we’re sure you’ll agree it’s something quite special.

Hailing from one of Europe's historical hot beds for electronic music, Valencia, Upercent makes his well deserved return to KX. Electronic music culture runs deep in his hometown. Barraca, with 50 years of age one of the world's longest running clubs was instrumental in developing what later on became the global phenomenon called Balearic Disco, one of the blueprints for modern clubbing as we know it. Upercent's take on house music is shaped by his unorthodox use of classical instruments and a deep understanding of groove. His new double header for Kompakt's offshoot KX once again proves Upercent's knack for highly infectious hooks and elegant story-telling. Both "Ocell" and "Explota" are fine examples of his tremendous skills in creating state of the art club music with depth and vigor.

Life and Death looks to Mexican artist Paulor for a new EP that includes two of the fast rising artist’s journeying originals, plus big remixes from dance luminaries JD Twitch, Vitalic, Superpitcher and Fango.

Paulor is an associate of The Pachanga Boys’s You And Your Hippie Friends label and resident DJ at Mexico’s celebrated Topaz Deluxe club in Monterrey. Sunshine, synth craft and dramatic guitar licks characterise his deep cut motorik grooves on the likes of Kompakt and DGTL and he shows those skills off once more here.

Opener ‘Space Ship’ is an expansive track with a pixelated lead that takes you on a trip through the cosmos as heavenly pads add a subtle sense of uplifting euphoria and surely get the club under their spell. The superb ‘Planet Gold’ is slower and more mysterious, with drums that are just as inviting and well set, but an eco-system of pads that shimmer and shine in the night sky above and lock you in a dream state. A wandering bassline finishes the whole thing in fantastic fashion.

French techno legend Vitalic does his thing on the ‘Space Ship’ remix, layering in more rugged and angular synths and a flabby bassline that results in absolute lift off. Fango is another fast riser who has been tipped for big tings by Michael Mayer and his The Suppa Robot Dancer Remix is a raw electro version with slapping hits and brain frying bass that underpins off kilter percussion to body popping effect.

Optimo’s JD Twitch is one of the most eclectic and widely informed names in the game and his take on the track is unhinged and unpredictable. Metallic percussive hits, intergalactic tension and big drums all coalesce into something both serene yet unusual. Long time Kompakt affiliate Superpitcher closes things down with two of his trademark remixes: the first is a zoned out ten minute cosmic opus and the second is six escapist minutes of deep space ambience.

This is set to be a breakout EP from Paulor, and one that comes with an adventurous set of remixes from some of dance music’s most inventive artists.

Next release on Mulen made by a big talent from UK Michael James, welcome!

Hundert: hey m8 :)
Hundert: how u been pretty busy i assume eh
Hundert: Lol
Hundert: anyhow got some proper
Hundert: mutant house bangerz fer ya! Proper shit for the dancefloor
Hundert: but also the heart
Hundert: m8 u there
You: Hi
Hundert: yeah so i thought id send u some advance promo ur always first on my list tbh ;)
Hundert: its the third release by hundert by DJ

Hundert: little known fact its actually two brothers lol
You: Could you send me an email instead, please Thank you.
Hundert: hang on a sec got te press release right here fer ya
Hundert: *the lol
Hundert: anyhow here goes
Hundert: With its third release, hundert is diving further into the technological maelstrom that has slowly transformed our perception of reality and what this thing called life is. DJ OK's "Private Messages" poses some crucial questions about how we find, form and maintain relationships in our day in age. Fittingly, its sound was forged seemingly everywhere and nowhere at once: classic New York-leaning deep house vibes meet UK-inspired gunshot sounds and the frantic grooves of contemporary outernational club music, Balearic feels converge with the slick sound palette of our digital environments. "Private Messages" is as immersive as an ever-refreshing newsfeed, but just as emotional and real as the next person checking in on you via iMessage. DJ Ja and DJ Nein's third effort can be as much enjoyed in the sweat-drenched physicality of a crammed club as it may serve as the perfect soundtrack for when you are home alone, connected with the entire world via a dimly-lit interface. These four tracks will touch your heart like a Spectre Attack would infiltrate the device you are using right now. And you know that it is unpatchable. All hardware problems are.
Hundert: would be great if you could feature this on your blog ;)
Hundert: let me know what u thought of it!!
You: Please send me an email, ok
Hundert: i will sure lmk how u like it!!!
Hundert: everything ok over there :)

Hundert: m8 :(

Opal Sunn are Hiroaki Oba and Al Kassian, two expats from Japan. Al arrived in Berlin 2013 after studying in London. He also makes music as a solo artist and has released on Love On The Rocks and Utopia Records. Hiroaki is a 2010 RBMA alumni and divides his time between the German captial and Tokio. After releasing two eps on their own Planet Sundae label, they're offering their follow up on Nick Ho¨ppner's new label. Here they continue to refine their style which displays and exquisite sense of space , melody, movement and groove. Opal Sunn's music straddles the line of body music and stimulation of the mind always bringing this contrast to fruition with their tracks. At the heart of the energetic opener - Parallax' lies an arpeggiated synth sequence that constantly shifts shapes and bounces off the syncopated percussion and beat marrying the technical with the organic. - Aura' rides an equally undeniable groove, but turns its misty-eyed gaze inwards, focussing on creating that oceanic feeling powered by emotive strings and textures. Over on the flip side - Mirage' folds into the haze of a sweaty dancefloor hitting the sweet spot of minimalism, melodic content and physical propulsion. - Phantom', the final track, drops the 4/4 in favour of an Electro beat occasionally kissed by the legendary - Think' break. The vibe is decidedly deep and mellow rounding off an EP which oozes understated confidence and longevity.

POINTS OF INTEREST: - Touch From A Distance is the new label of former Ostgut Ton manager Nick Ho¨ppner. It's first release by Desert Sound Colony has been very well received - Opal Sunn are a well seasoned hardware only live act very much in control of their repertoire, but also capable of captivating improvisations - Opal Sunn have got a recognizable sound driven by smart, often arpeggiated synth lines, on point drums and textures

With Monkey Safari’s “Shelter” still on heavy rotation at clubs and radio stations alike, the boys deliver their new release
“Sturm”.

Monkey Safari were never an act that could be labelled with a certain genre–the German duo never dared to go new ways
with their sound. Over the past two years, they were headed deep into the darker realms of electronic music, culminating
in the release of their album “Odyssey” last year.

With the aforementioned “Shelter” and the new “Sturm” release, Monkey Safari are slowly bringing back the playful
melodies and vocals that made the vibe of their hit-releases “Cranes” and “Walls” a few years back.

This back to the roots attitude comes at a time where it could be seen as an alternative to the “harder-better-faster”
mentality in the electronic music scene. It may be a harbinger of what to expect from the duo in the near future.

Enjoy!

Santa Fe, New Mexico based artist Maggie Thornton a.k.a. Sky Civilian joins Atomnation and releases debut EP “Open Door” on the 14th of June, 2019. The productions from Sky Civilian evoke a lust for the future and the far-away, but she grounds this lofty mood in familiar territory, with nostalgic, detuned synth instrumentation and four-on-the-floor percussion. Her weightless, almost-whispered vocals capture a hyper-natural feeling. The overall lyrical message is one of raw sincerity, as listeners confront unmistakable themes of loss and longing. Strange yet playful vocal production techniques grant the work a subtle pop tilt.

This time Mr Raoul K is teaming up with fellow producer Mapiko Mweya. They shift Mr Raoul K's usually blend of real westafrican instruments and modern electronic clubsounds towards the electronic soundscape. With the vocals of B'Utiza, they take us on a rollercoaster ride into an urban concrete jungle very reminiscent of the nineteennineties. Voluminous baselines, westafrican drums, irie layers of swirling sounds, long buildups, occasional breakdowns – delivered with a gritty touch.
Mr Raoul K's mix keeps the atmosphere dense while Mapiko goes for a more airy approach - with either mix keeping its rolling groove up until the end. Dance through the darkness until the sunlight creeps through the cellar windows.
Watch out for Mr Raoul K's Album 'African Paradigm' out on Compost Records this summer.

Irish mastermind David Kitt aka New Jackson returns to Permanent Vacation with his forth record for the label. This time out he takes his beloved MPC and XOX machines back to Japan, their birthplace, for five imagined train journeys. The results are some of the most stunning and multilayered music he has produced to date with that constant locomotion pushing us on down the tracks and providing the perfect soundtrack to the sights and romance of the land of the rising sun.

Noordhoek, das Resultat dieser vierwöchigen Reise der geo-kulturellen Impulse und kreativen Experimentation, erscheint nun als Album auf Stil vor Talent. Während die Produktionen auf Noordhoek das beeindruckende Sounddesign früherer Oliver Koletzki und Niko Schwind Releases fortführen, formen komplex rhythmische Texturen zusammen mit der altbekannten emotionalen Tiefe und dem intrinsischen Gespür für die Floor-Kompabilität ein zeitgenössisches Update uralter Tanzrituale. Nach einer Berg- und Talfahrt durch zwölf abwechslungsreiche aber dennoch sehr kohärente Produktionen, ist eins gewiss, wenn die letzten Donnerschläge über Noordhoek krachen: Südafrika hat die Kreativität zweier außergewöhnlicher Musiker so sehr beeinflusst, dass sie die Vielfalt ihrer Eindrücke leichtfüßig in eine eigene, originelle Welt des Sounds verarbeiten konnten.

Younger Rebinds is a new project and imaginary band by the inimitable and unstoppable Benny Rodrigues. Maybe best-known for his Rod moniker and releases on Klockworks, Rodrigues embodies and keeps the candour, spirit and curiosity that made techno music stand out in its start-up years - and that's exactly what we have here. The "Retro 7 Ep" makes the most of the classic 707 drum machine, gnarly synths, ambient soundscapes, pianos and organs. Done in a way that is as much new wave, as it is electronic disco. Spread out over a double-pack with eight tracks (8!, get it), the Younger Rebinds hit the sweet spot between vintage DJ Hell aesthetics, Sterac Electronics and Trevor Jackson's Metal Dance dogma, if its choir would be muted. Loud pressing and hypnotic artwork included. Please don't look at it for more than 5 minutes.

One of Stephan and Marc´s biggest tunes ever, Kerberos comes along with brand new remixes.

Diynamic´s Solomun teams up for the first time with Johannes Brecht and their debut convinces with driving beats, fresh sounds and a composition of synth lines which won´t leave your brain anymore.

On the flip side you can find two versions by André Hommen, who has been responsible for countless club weapons on labels like Objektivity, Poker Flat and These Eyes plus Dublin´s poster boy Matador who recently delivered a master piece with his legendary remix of Oxia´s - Domino'.

Scatcity's Label Head Skatman Debuts His First Ep On The Collective With 'back In The Zukunft'. After A Series Of
Appearances On The Imprint, The Berlin Based Producer Drops A Powerful Four Tracker That Sees The Return Of Ivory
On The Rework.

Opening Up With The Title Track, Electric Synths Frantically Riff Over A Rolling Bassline, Quickly Morphing Into A
Brooding Alliance That Combine And Chug Endlessly Into The Distance.

With Huge Support Already From Dixon, 'psyche' Makes Out For A Real Peak Time Delivery From Skatman. A Melodic
Synth Line Hovers Effortlessly Against A Lo7oming Range Of Chords And A Chunky Bassline, Opening Its Filters Slowly
As You Become Submersed Deep Into Its Dream Like Atmosphere.

Rolling Onto The B-side, A Percussive Groove Lays The Foundation For 'meraki', As He Leaves Space For A Gentle
Melody To Gradually Fill The Mix, Gathering Its Intensity As It Suddenly Morphs Into An Acidic Strike.

Welcoming Back Ivory With, He Flips 'meraki' Into A Much Darker And Hypnotic Charge, Rounding Off The Ep And
Leaving One Last Mark On The Dance Floor.
