Niclas Kannengiesser for two fresh originals and then have legendary electronic producers Swayzak and deeper than deep Greek talent XDB turn out some brilliant remixes.

Kannengiesser is a German DJ and producer who conjures up wide open and atmospheric spaces in the worlds of dub, techno and house and he has a true melodic streak that really makes his music stand out. To date he has already impressed on Sub:Circles but this new EP is another big step up.

The excellent 'Modulation' goes first and is a deep, trippy, spiritual bit of supple and soft rolling techno. Rippling chords and angelic keys all linger above a rubbery groove and thus ensure only the real heads will appreciate this one. Remixing is XDB, who has released on top labels like Dolly, Echochord and Sistrum and has a perfectly deep and dubby style. He uses it to great effect here and cooks up a fast paced and engaging dub track with icy hi hats and mysterious pads way off in the distance that suspend you in the groove.

Next up is the slightly busier, more propulsive 'Acquaintance', with soft hits, rich rolling drums and more late night chords that are rich and emotive. Its a truly classy track that is deep yet detailed and full of feeling. Swayzak then remix it twice and are a UK tech house pair who have had a long and storied carer. As well as mixing it up for the fabric series they run their own label and release on labels like K7, Minus and Rawax. Their first remix layers in more texture and pixel thin synths as well as slightly more forceful drums and the result is a real back room winner. The second live edit is bigger, slightly more brash and full of a darker, more prickly energy.

This is a great release with some fine originals and truly standout remixes from some of the best names in the game.

Finally the vinly edition of this great album originally released in 2013. Limited Edition honey yellow clear vinyl.

For this long-player, Mac has harked back to the good ol' days of analog, employing numerous vintage instruments to create a wholly electronic yet warm, soulful sound.

Marc's Detroit techno influences are ever present on this release, with more than a hint of that unmistakable 4Hero vibe. That said, there is something that makes 'The Third Adam' undefinable - is it house, is it hip-hop, is it beats, funk or electro Who knows - but that's what makes it so remarkable - it's in a genre all its own. There are few artists out there that can draw heart-warming soul from cold, dusty electronics like Marc Mac can.

Stop Look Listen

Taking a brief detour from his normal abrasive distorted sound, Pinion showcases his broad spectrum as an artist with the Desire EP. The title track, Desire (Half Measure),starts out of the gate with a thunderous half beat 808 coupled with a swinging hihat pattern that slowly works ethereal vocal slices into the forefront, accompanied with a modulating synth pad that evolves into a defining melody. The sister track, Desire (Full Measure), has very similar characteristics as the original, but allowing a little more edge for the dancefloor to build on. The third original track, Recollection shifts gears quite drastically with a 135 BPM stormer with enough soul and melody to make the uncharacteristically fast tempo seem inconsequential. Last, comes Kyle Geiger on remix duties to round out the EP with a housier take on Desire, but still enough bite to fit nicely into any techno set.

From time to time, you hear an EP and instantly can sense that it s going to be significant. Sad Girl Seasonal Affective Disorder does what few manage to do - it tells us not only a story from different perspectives but describes the journey of the heart and mind when losing someone we love - the conflicting emotions when we hurt and the evolution of emotions we experience as we heal. It achieves this by using a rich and diverse collection of sounds as its vocabulary, and a brilliant integration and structure as its grammar. Also, this strategy manages to give each track its unique character, allowing them to stand on their own.

Released on 180 grams limited - vinyl only.

Following his 2017 solo debut EP, "Resisting in the Darkness", Tyler Dancer takes a step toward the light in his second outing for DBA, "62 Miles High".

Written in Hasselt, Belgium, "62 Miles High" finds the Shake-collaborator drawing upon his Detroit and Midwest influences to reveal another page from his sonic journey.

great !! no word, just music :-)

Baile Musik returns with fourth Fresh Juice edition presenting our new producer the mighty Aprapta together with our resident producers and djs Marcelo Cura, Alisonn and Nice N Trick.
Fourth edition combines diverse selection of tracks joined into strong and underground minimal and techno influence.

Second vinyl celebrating 5 years of Vilena Records. Side A is characterized by techno of two great Italian artists: Marco Effe who has released his music on international labels such as Cocoon, SCI + TEC, Cecille and many other, and the duo System of Survival (Fventi Music managers) which have productions on labels like BPitch Control, Rebirth, Get Physical etc.The B side is characterized by the tracks of two Vilena artists: the first is Andrea Spadazzi aka Andrea Speed, who with his "Daphne" consolidates as one of the best artists of our label, the second track has signed by Incept which closes this vinyl.

Hugely DJ-friendly 4 tracker, as Ctrls, SP-X, Jerome Hill and Bodyjack step up to the plate. Ctrls' "Breaker" is one of his most aggressive tracks to date - clinically produced, but with an energy that is about as clinical as a bull in a china shop. SP-X keeps the intensity high with the banging, warped groove of "Mine Smelter" - featuring a creaking riff that is soon met by a host of unruly lead sounds. Jerome Hill adds his trademark shuffle and synth wobble to the Chi-town workout of "Wormface", while Bodyjack slows things down, injecting house swing and snappy, repeating rhythms into the distinctly big-room "Keeping The Wolf From The Door".

PLEXITY
...the simplistic complexity of subliminal melodic aggression.
Drivetrain (Detroit, USA) - 'Lozen'
A paradoxal tribal eruption crafted by label chief, Derrick Thompson.
Filtered patternization built on barbaric harmonic algorithms.
Teknobrat (Ottawa City, CANADA) - 'Relapse'
A vicious debut headlining a twisted, distorted analog synth abducted by
a rancid 909 beat machine.
DJ Mourad (Tunis, TUNISIA) - 'All Fixed Up'
We welcome another revered DJ/Producer, this one takes
an expedition through incalculable rainbows of acid-tech and the unexplained.
Hughes Giboulay (Beaucaire, FRANCE) - 'Genése'
Another first installment to Soiree...highlighting an emotionally driven
chord progression with encapsulating rhythm incisions, biting at the bass foundation.

Mindcut is proud to present the debut release from Octave (Silent Steps) with his new alias Vlaysin. The EP name speaks for itself. Mess Inside' means pure analog sound, distorted beats and a dark atmosphere. This EP comprises 3 heavy techno tracks and a banging remix from Dublin producer duo Tinfoil (Sunil Sharpe & Defekt).

Acid electro techno and breakz.. old school sweet heart stytle !

We are happy to announce Andre Bratten's 12' trilogy! Each 12' edition of 300, no re-press. First out is Un and Pax Americana.

Butterfred doing longplayer biz,the focus is on abstract Hip Hop and Downtempo instrumentals with a certain 90s NYC vibe and a certain UK Grime state of mind. Roll with the sickness, LP 1!

Stefanik is a phenomenon! On the one side he is that crazy-cool party animal with amazing DJ-skills. His DJ-sets feature a wide variation of techno-, house- and minimal tunes all mixed up in a fresh and easy way that almost no one can escape from. On the other side he is this über-talented producer who sometimes doesn't sound like his DJ-sets at all. On his recent album for Cocoon Recordings Stefanik painted musical pictures of different moods and for different moments. A soundtrack for people living in the modern club world of cities like Berlin or London. Days of joy and sun vs. grey and cold mornings or foggy and dusty club nights, there was something for everybody and every moment. However with his new release on Cocoon Recordings Stefanik proofs how versatile he is as a producers by creating a vibe that refers more to his DJ-sets. Stefanik melts down different club music ingredients to one unique mix here. We hear influences from Detroit, Chicago and Berlin mixed up in identical quantities. Deeper house meet masculine basslines ("Signs") and pitched-up Inner-City-like-beats merge with driving hi-hats and chopped up vocal-samples before the whole arrangement receives a proper 90s UK-styled synthesizer-polish ("Illuminations"). This is big, this is pure and it breathes energy. Thanx Mr. Stefanik for this nice mix-up of 25 years of house and techno however all sounding fresh and modern. This only works with technomusic kids!

Castanea Records present its tenth release by G76. Three originals tracks and a remix by Denis Kaznacheev.

First appearance of the duo Giorgi & POM on their own vinyl only Imprint TRAFO. The A -side starts off with the trippy tune "Mitrax" which is supported by a functional remix from Fabe (Cocoon, Salty Nuts). On the flip side "Elek Orch" and "Ampeks" round up the EP with repetitive house vibes. Different roots, common patterns.

Michigan artist John Beltran's 13th studio album and 3rd on Delsin is his most complete and personal work yet. Written largely on modular synthesizers for the first time, it melts 90s intelligent techno with post rock and ambient with leftfield downtempo. The seventeen tracks draw on his expert knack for sound design; for melody and atmosphere and make for yet another hugely absorbing affair.

We are ready to announce our next release MIA006 with 3 hypnotic groove tracks release from Mr. Little Hado!

After his first impressive release from his underground project the mysterious guy is back only on vinyl with 3 limited banging tracks.

MA002 is dynamic , intense , powerful and original Ep.

Second Release for La Chinerie's Comic Sans imprint. For this one we invited two brothers Antoine & Matthieu for a split work dedicated to the famous Tekken game.

First side is Antoine's which only ability at the game was to spam his opponent with the now very famous "dragon kick" technique

Second side is Matthieu's (aka $turmtruppen 1917) who has always been fascinated by Yoshimitsu's hability to commit suicide during a fight.

Comet Traxx is the new label of Swiss prolific producer Mirko Loko, best known for his musical output on Cadenza, Visionquest and Memento Records.
This new imprint is focused on cosmic grooves, with the aim to release quality timeless material.
The first release on the label is the stunning 'Twin Bang' album by the label honchos, Mirko Loko, delivering a modern sophisticated record with a very classic feeling, rich of collaborations with heavyweight musicians as Derrick May and Ursula Rucker. For the next chapters of these astral tales, we can expect a spontaneous organic blend of electronic genres joined with a galactic touch: releases are not going to come only by Mirko himself, but from interesting newcomers, as well as veterans as Guido Schneider who is in scheduled on the second catalogue number.

TWIN BANG - COMET TRAXX - 001:

"Twin Bang" is Mirko Loko third album, the first own on his own label Comet Traxx, and proudly host collaboration with Detroit Techno legend Derrick May, Philadelphia singer Ursula Rucker and the French/Italian duo Moody Preachers.
The Swiss producer has crafted with attention and devotion a pleasant collection of dance oriented tunes, charming and seductive
The opening track "Desuresction" (feat. Moody Preachers) is a slow and tripping rhythmic of the spectral envelopes exploration of a pitched down haunting voice.
"Mind Over Matter" is a faster elegant dancefloor track devised on rich harmonics stab, while "Mentors Heritage is an ethereal, romantic, space trip guided by the abysmal sexy voice of Derrick May. A classic 707 Chicago influenced drum programming gives swing to "Pylus Pylons System" and its vintage computers sequences and bleeps just before the stripped down synths progression on Ursula Rucker's touching spoken word of "It's like", where the percussion behind become dense as Ursula's mystical voice gets more and more evocative.
The dramatic tension of the album reaches a climax with the long
building "Astral Travelers", and as the beats get tight, "Les Champ des Possibles" maintain an hypnotic state with an acidic arpeggio
Finally, "Les Beaux Jours" discharge serenity and composure over delightful melodies and laid back whispers.

Echocord sub-label Echo Echo continues this July with Orbite's 'Interstellar' EP, a threetracker from the Berlin- based producer. Orbite is a brand new project founded in Berlin, Germany with a nod towards the raw, dubby sounds often heard across the clubs in the city, and where better to inaugurate things than the recently launched sub-label of Copenhagen's Echocord, one of the leading imprints in the realms of Dub Techno, home to pioneering acts like Rod Modell/Deepchord, Pole and Fluxion who have paved the way for Orbite's own twist on the genre. The ethereal pad textures of 'Skylar' lead on the package, deftly evolving alongside bubbling synth tones, swelling chords and shuffled percussion to create a create dynamically unfolding six and a half minute cut. 'Moment' follows, edging things further into dubbed-out territories with heavily delayed dub echoes and mesmeric spoken word poetry intertwining to create a, hypnotic beatless soundscape. 'Organi' closes the record with emotive, billowing pads, warm bell like tones and vocal murmurs running alongside swinging shakers and stripped-back micro-house percussion.

Keysound Recordings are proud to present an EP from one of the UK's most exciting production talents, Otik.
The EP consists of four original productions on vinyl 'Top Ten', 'Latex', 'Notion' and 'True Level,' plus on the digital a refix of 'Top Ten' from label co-owner Blackdown 'Top Ten.'. Collectively they are weighty contributions to the space emerging between techno and bass music currently being forged by labels such as Timedance, Hessle Audio, 3024 and Ilian Tape. 'And Keysound of course haha...' adds Otik. 'I've been very inspired by these labels'. 'I'm based in North East London but I'm originally from Bristol. I've been producing since the age of about 15 but didn't really get into UK dance music until the age of 18,' he adds. In recent times, Otik's released on 17 Steps, Dusky's label, DEXT Recordings, Durkle Disco, Push & Run, Tessier-Ashpool and Infinite Machine. He will also be releasing on Nous Disques later this year.

Club Excursionista de l'Electrònica discovers a new trail, this time featuring British producer Pliny aka James Welsh. The "Countdown EP" is the third release from C.E.E. and is comprised of four powerful and energetic tracks that demonstrate Welsh's remarkable studio talent (his social networks are brimming with videos dominated by analogue machines). The EP was produced, almost in its entirety, using instruments and hardware effects, a process in which distortion and purest 303 acid lines form fundamental elements of its structure. Welsh's method of manipulating sound is truly unique; he is capable of agglutinating house, old-school hardcore, techno and even IDM, within the same track. James Welsh is already an established figure in the electronic music scene, under his own name, through his project Kamera and as a regular stalwart for the Phantasy Sound record label, headed by none other than Erol Alkan. Welsh's new Pliny pseudonym has allowed him to explore his more melodic inclinations, while remaining attentive to dance floor needs. The "Countdown EP" represents a personal journey that is palpable in each of these exceptional tracks.

This is the 7th release on RIOT Radio Records, an independent techno label based in Scotland.

Since 1989 The Horrorist has released over 80 12" singles and four full length albums. His massive discography adorns every elite techno label including Tresor, Industrial Strength & Neue Heimat. He's worked with the biggest names in techno including Miro Pajic, John Selway, DJ Rush, Frankie Bones, Chris Liebing & Radical G, releasing so many of techno's best & most well recognized tracks.

His albums including 'Attack Decay' & 'Joyless Pleasure' are renowned pieces of art and he's currently working on his 5th studio album.

This is the 2nd of many releases to stem from our 5th release 'STAY TUNED Sampler - Vol. I' whereby each artist on that compilation will be getting their own individual release. Track A1 on this 12' is taken from that LP.

This 12' release sees his 'RIOT' track being exquisitely remixed by Taser, Dave Tarrida, Neil Landstrumm and a blisteringly apocalyptic speedcore mangling by Stickhead. The full digital release features additional remixes by Kamikaze Space Programme, Kenny Campbell, Duellist and Ayarcana.

WARNING: THIS RELEASE WILL INDUCE SHOUTING AND MAY INCITE PUBLIC DISORDER

This is a new series of tracks from the late 90's mid 2000's that went under the radar and we are bringing them back.

Oldscholol puùmîn to hardfloor tribe.. ; no wastes here : 4 banging bombastic tunes !

Drawing In Sound is a live improvisation, created by sound artist Andreas Usenbenz and illustrator Christoph Lammers for the exhibition opening of "Wiese" ("meadow") by artist and curator Andreas Pytlik at Städtische Galerie Rosenheim in the spring of 2018.

Prior to the performance, the artists exchanged ideas, drawings and sound improvisations to find a way of approaching the topic of 'meadow' in the context of contemporary drawing and contemplative soundscapes. During the performance, illustrator and sound artist entered a dialogue: Usenbenz created subtle sound textures and phonographic collages of rustling hay, records, guitar sounds, field recordings, tapes and effect devices.

Lammers opened all senses to both space and sound. Reacting intuitively, focussing on the moment and with great physical effort he composed his images, formed structures from lines and shapes. Using charcoal, ink, brushes and his bare hands, he filled the 7 by 4 metre canvas, vigorously at times, then almost delicately, providing stimuli in turn picked up by Usenbenz. Ultimately, this "conversation" between the two artists gave rise to a different interpretation: Everything grows of its own accord.

Played and improvised by Andreas Usenbenz, using objects, lo-fi microphones, contact microphones, field recordings, guitar, ebow, looper, ipad, dictaphone, cassettes, tape loops, op 1, field kit. Drawn and performed on a 7 x 4 m canvas by Christoph Lammers, using different objects, ink, charcoal, brushes and his bare hands. Recorded live at Städtische Galerie Rosenheim. Additional sounds recorded and edited at home.

Featuring 4 tracks of deep Techno, the 'Circular' EP is both
the debut solo-EP from Belgian producer, and one half of
GoldFFinch, Gilles Renneson and the first release on the
pair's new label Transitional. Whilst Gilles has to date remained a character in the shadows, preferring the warmth of his studio to the lights of the scene, the 'Circular' EP reveals a producer with an unerring ear for what works on the dancefloor. Fans of GoldFFinch's previous releases will find much to love in the minimal, yet constantly evolving, electronic music on display here. Tracks like the EP's eponymous title track and 'Each of State' not only show a deep understanding of Techno but also betray Gilles' fascination with genres as disparate as dub and psyche rock, whilst 'Kontrol' nods to GoldFFinch's early UK Garage influenced productions with its taut, shuffling beat.
Completing the EP is a remix of 'Circular' by Swedish producer
Bleak whose own productions display a similar fascination with
the use of space in Techno music to GoldFFinch. The result
here is 6 minutes of chthonic dance music where spectral,
industrial sounds echo off into the night, underpinned by a
driving beat and relentless percussion. The debut release on GoldFFinch's new label, the 'Circular' EP represents a new beginning for the pair. Despite releasing acclaimed tracks on labels such as Innervisions, Dirty Bird,
Turbo, Exit Strategy and Fuse Music, and being named as one of
DJ Mag's 'Artist to Watch' in 2016, Gilles and his long time
musical partner Yoann Janssens found themselves at a
crossroads in 2017, both creatively and professionally.
Rather than just plough on regardless Gilles and Yoann decided
to completely re-evaluate their approach to music production
and rebuild their studio from scratch, investing in analogue
equipment and stepping back to re-think their entire creative
process.
After a year of silence they have now launched their own
label, Transitional, a new home to release both their own solo
and GoldFFinch productions with the first 4 12's ready to roll
out over the coming months. In addition to the label they have
also partnered with Brussels techno institution FUSE to launch
a quarterly club night under the same name that has so far
featured appearances from the likes of Ben UFO, Pangaea, A/C/
R, Etapp Kyle and in September hosts Ostgut Ton's
nd_baumecker.

I am sure that Ilija Djokovic is one of the newcomers who will have a great future as producer. His tracks always transport a special kind of feeling which touches me a lot! Soulful techno at its best. And on top the rework of Olivier Giacomotto who gave Pandora a nice driving vibe. (Monika Kruse)

JoeFarr and his label User Experience are pleased to welcome a very talented to the roster, Insolate. The artist formerly known as Miss Sunshine is a DJ, producer, label owner and promoter who has been in the business for 20 years and considered as one of the best techno artist's from Croatia. The two original tracks ride a perfect balance between groove, power and emotion. JoeFarr does what he does best and turns out a killer remix.

Jasss makes her head and body-turning album debut with Weightless, an absorbingly stark and spiky set of industro-dub concerns riddled with heavy inspiration from African rhythms, jazz and concrète electronics. After a trio of acclaimed 12's for Berlin's Mannequin and Amir Alexander's Annunaki Cartel since 2016, iDEAL now give Jasss room to consolidate and expand her grizzled dancefloor structures to a full length episode that brutally dovetails with Joachim Nordwall and co's unforgiving but compelling take on contemporary noise and industrial musics.
Very much an antecedent of Spanish industrialists such as Diseño Corbusier, Xeerox / Krishna Goineau, or Mecanica Popular/Randomize, Jasss firmly builds on that heritage with a uniquely pensive balance of percussive suss, synthetic bite and reverberating spatial dynamics that makes her music heavy-as-sin and deliciously deft with it, patently forgoing Industrial music's angry guy glare in favour of far more feminine and latinate pressure systems.
She does so with an aching, puckered patience in the opener, Every Single Fish In The Pond, escalating from a lone cymbal motif and location recordings to a pulsating darkroom boldness by the end of an incendiary scene-setter, before really getting her fangs in with the clenched but driving EBM torque of Oral Couture, recalling a spiked Toresch or CTI hovering at the darkroom's entrance.
From here on in a dream sequence of events take place, morphing from febrile, hash-induced triplet pirouettes in Danza thru the martial free jazz/industrial cut-up of Cotton For Lunch, to a definitive apex of sprung, stepping cybergoth in Weightless, with a pause for Alberich-like reflection on Theo Goes Away, but the voodoo rises once again with the druggy swagger of Instantaneous Transmission of Information, and her stoic, blunt-edged mauler, To Eat With Dirty Hands.
It's rare to hear industrial music done with such variation and individual distinction as Weightless, making it shine in a field so often associated with greyscale and monotone signatures..

All things come from and return to the same source - such is the theory of Monism; an ancient philosophy, but also accounting for the music of Jeroen Search. Dictated by an ethos of exclusively recording live takes and the only ever editing happening while a tune is being created, each finished track is imbued with that unique magic of the moment. Such too is the nature of Monism, Search's first LP in over two decades of electronic explorations and personal as well as artistic growth. As with any of his music that has been released so far, the tracks on here hold a timeless quality, existing within their own frame of reference than - that is their immediate experience. Across a carefully arranged course, the album naturally unravels its many ideas, ranging from moments of pensive ambient pieces to thick washes of dub echo and layers of modulated synths, all while providing an endless array of hypnotizing bare-bone grooves in the process. A true Figure mainstay, Jeroen Search upholds his artistic relevancy without any reinventing or switching up the formula - rather by simply keeping true to his accomplished craft.

After the successful Argentina EP I am happy to have a great follow up from Loco & Jam. Enjoy their 3 acidish bassy techno monster tracks (Monika Kruse)

Mark Henning is back on his own label Swing, showing off his more melodic side with some acid and squelchy arpeggios.

In February 2017 Moving Furniture Records released "1", the first LP by Radboud Mens and Matthijs Kouw. The album consists of two long drone tracks that make you forget music is a time-based art. Music that immerses you in a warm bath of frequencies that are evolving slowly around you, revealing you all sides and details of a sonic sculpture.

With this second release, which is simply titled "2", Mens and Kouw continue their exploration of long-form drone. By using precisely tuned analogue synthesis, Mens and Kouw create a rich tapestry of drones and slowly changing environments. To the careless listener, nothing much seems to happen. However, an attentive ear will reveal a rich variety of resonances and sonic artefacts. Starting as a deep and warm drone music both pieces gradually develop into a collage of textures and frequencies that are carefully moving in and out of the drone. This record is the second of a two-part album that was recorded live in the studio in December 2014, released in an edition of 300 LPs that are packaged in reversed sleeves and are provided with a digital download.

Matthijs Kouw is a sound artist exploring the relation between movement and stasis. Using a wide variety of source material that includes field recordings, amplified objects, software synthesis, and analog synthesis, Matthijs has worked on music for theatre, dance, and film, as well as sound installations. He has released music via various outlets, including IO Sound, erstwhile tape-label Grel and Moving Furniture Records. Matthijs lives in Utrecht (Netherlands), where he is slowly working on a new solo work.

Radboud Mens is a sound-artist, composer and sound designer who is working with sound since 1982. He started creating noise-machines in 1988. In the early 90's he attached contact-microphones to dog's brushes that he used to destroy vinyl records by scratch-playing them, boosting the signal through broken cassette- decks and recording the results. Currently, like for example for his album Cycle (2015), he builds his own acoustic instruments and sound-installations. These instruments and installations are played live through a computer for real-time processing and then recorded. The recordings are used in new compositions. Radboud Mens has worked with a broad variety of sound artists and composers, including Stephan Mathieu, Janek Schaefer and Timeblind, voice-artist Jaap Blonk, guitarist Dan Armstrong (as Fitness Landscape), Michel Banabila, Mark Poysden (as Alignment), Craig Ward (ex-Deus), and Matthijs Kouw. His music has been released by Staalplaat, Mutek_Rec, AudioNL, ERS, Bake Records, Noise Museum, Takashi Mobile, Tapu Records and Touch. In live situations he collaborated with video-artists such as Marco Douma, Remco Schuurbiers, Bas van Koolwijk and Jpech.

Part 3. Phil Merrall + Traditions... Music Speaks For Itself! Underground anthem alert...

Delsin turns to this classic from 1992 EP by Random XS. Originally released by Saskia Sleger's legendary Djax-Up Beats-label. This re-release features the original a-side - a hypnotic vocal acid anthem that has become an absolute classic of the genre - remastered and re-cut, meaning that the infamous gap in the original is no longer there. The b-side has two new remixes from Lost Trax and Delta Funktionen resulting in futuristic, electro tinged, twisted versions with crashing hits and famously busy basslines bringing real warehouse energy.

The Aula Magna team presents the label's tenth release, Rom by Seph, featuring Cosmin TRG as remixer. A modern and energetic EP that showcases the artist's unique techno sound: deep, robust & daring.
Lead track Rom kicks off the record in breakbeat manner, an epic cut that twists its sounds progressively through distorted percussive and melodic riffs. This is followed by Cosmin TRG's tribal take on the title track, a mind-dazzling and hypnotic reinterpretation.
Two techno highlights from Seph's latest live sets thrust the B side even further into the dance floor. Inner warps its solid rhythmic core through swirling dub noise mayhem and P+1 ends the record with a steady synth chord that evolves throughout the track on top of a powerful, stripped down beat.

A big welcome back to our longtime friend Stefano Noferini with his fabulous 'Extramelody'. And thanks for the great remixes to Metodi Hristov & Drunken Kong! Getting ready for the summer (Monika Kruse)

This remix package features the cutting edge of underground dance music in the form of remixes from Deetron, Prospa, Kideko and rising talent Hi, I'm Claude.

The official track has amassed 100 Spins at UK radio including plays from Danny Howard, Pete Tong and KISS FM. It has amassed over 1 million streams since launch and is growing at club with huge support from the likes of Ritchie Hawtin, Marco Carola, Richy Ahmed, Lee Walker, Gorgon City (Prospa Mix) and many more

Tech House heavyweight Deetron is hot off the heels of a jam packed 2018 touring including 19 countries over the year. He is highly regarded within the scene and has a Dj Kicks and Fabric Live compilation to boast among credits.

Prospa are one of the hottest tipped Dance acts for 2019. Their underground smash Prayer has had 48 spins at Radio alone since release and is flying at the moment. Their mix of Just About was premiered by Pete Tong on Radio 1 and this is the unreleased extended mix.
Kideko provides a huge sounding house mix of Just About that had already had 10 spins at KISS FM.

Drumcode returns with its 6th installment of the internationally celebrated A-Sides series. Renowned for fostering a shared space between industry tastemakers and rising talent alike, the careful curation that goes into each volume is a fine example of why Beyer's brand continues to go from strength to strength.

Techno titan Adam Beyer has grown Drumcode into a force to be reckoned with; the label has become synonymous with forward-thinking, functional techno and even after 20 years, Drumcode continues to find new boundaries to push, and ways to solidify its legacy as the world's number one techno label.

2017 is no exception, with Beyer's imprint hosting it's first stage at Tomorrowland, not to mention the expansion of the critically acclaimed Junction 2 where the Drumcode stage is the centrepiece and Adam plays the key role of festival director. The Drumcode phenomenon continues to grow each week, chiefly fuelled by Drumcode Radio, Adam's radio show that's broadcast in 57 countries via 86 stations and to a global audience of 16 million techno fans per week.

The A-Sides series acts as a perfect vignette of Drumcode's cutting-edge sound; functional yet inspired techno, all tracks tried and tested by Beyer himself. Vol. 6 continues this tradition with a collection of 16 multi-faceted cuts from a mixture of both emerging artists and experienced label friends.

The heart-throbbing bass in Amelie Lens' electrifying piece 'In Silence' sets the tone for the dark and dance-floor-ready energy that Vol.6 carries the whole way through. Other standouts include Mars Bill's rough'n'ready 'Mohave'. Pulsating and precise, 'Mohave' has highlighted many of Beyer's sets recently as has Wehbba's monster track 'Fake', which fans have been anticipating the release of all year.

Label-favourites Dense & Pika also feature on 'A-Sides' Vol. 6 with their hard-hitting 'Just a Beat' and a huge track from Beyer himself who has joined forces with Enrico Sangiuliano to bring us their undeniably infectious 'Preset Heaven'.

With many more notable selections from the likes of Julian Jewell, Timmo, Tiger Stripes and Pig&Dan, A-Sides Vol. 6 is another impressive addition to the label's prolific release roster and a testament to why Drumcode remains at the forefront of the electronic world.

Since opening their digital doors in 2009, Lucidflow has built up quite a following of admirers; luminaries such as Slam, Hernan Cattaneo, Joris Voorn, Vince Watson, Steve Rachmad, Laurent Garnier, Dubfire, Guy J and many more have checked in since inception to get a piece of the action. With Lucidflow defying convention and going analogue in the last year, it makes sense for them to tap into their pool of friends and admirers for the latest in their vinyl releases. Nadja Lind & Friends is a collection of works with some of the Lucidflow family and a chance for long time supporters of the esteemed Berlin based imprint to own something more tangible.

There is no finer way to kick off than with Saharan Night, a collaboration with scene legend and veteran Brendon Moeller. A veritable production machine, his dub heavy sound is a natural fit with the Lucidflow sonic template, the deep and bubbling tones an ideal counterpoint for Nadja's sharp and swinging beat programming.

Quintin Christian made his Lucidflow debut back on LF039 (MoodWarp, Quintin Christian and Vandermeer's Illusion) and gets his chance to rub shoulders with the Lucidflow co-owner on Place Of Bliss. Significantly lighter in mood than Saharan Night but no less deep, breathless tension is the theme with field samples conjuring up the mood of middle eastern twilight. This airy mood counterpointed by the deep and bassy vocal sample that runs through the track.

Staples of DJ boxes worldwide don't come recommended more than tracks and remixes from Chris Lattner. If this is a name you are not currently acquainted with then just look at the support from DJ's such as Kerri Chandler (on his recent Watergate 15), Nick Harris (head of the sadly shuttered NRK, who featured a Lattner remix on the farewell NRK compilation) and Hot Creation's Richy Ahmed (who plucked a Lattner release for the exceptionally current Rinse mix series). Here, on Drifting Elements, Lattner keeps things skeletal, swinging the beats and letting the dub chords chime out.

To tie off the release, Nadja provides a standalone moment in Berlin All Day Long. Crafted after a seriously demanding tour schedule, it is the glorious return to the mothership. The huge and cheery dub chords provide an instant hook to a track that feels both Germanic and like it is hitting the vibe of classic New Jersey house in equal measure. Smiles all around guaranteed on this flourishing 12' series.

Don't be fooled by the ominous title, it's a family affair this one! Simina Grigoriu teams up with sibling Moe Danger and life partner Paul Kalkbrenner on the Shark Island EP, with K-Paul on remix duties and a special appearance by the label's youngest member, Paul & Simina's daughter.

The title track sets the tone with throaty vocal chops that add mystery to its clacking percussion and devilish synth lead. The effect is an intense build up, with the tension gradually released in the second half, by the way of dreamy synth arpeggios that lighten up the overall mood.

Kalkbrenner applies a staccato feel that tilts towards a more bouncy version of the original. Giving the track new life through a novel melody, it evolves into a deeply affecting piece, as its pulsating rhythm keeps the energy at a constant high.

You might know K-Paul as the electrifying half of the 90's dance duo Lexy & K-Paul, a trait that applies to his production style, as well as in his remixing effort for Shark Island. With a more enigmatic, hyper-gradual release technique, this particular remix unveils jarring electro synths with brooding countermelodies.

3024 is back with a quintessentially unique and current take on the hardcore continuum with a brand new Various Artists EP featuring music by label head Martyn, advanced percussive science by Yak, midsummer melancholy by Baltra and avant-techno by the Manchester/Berlin duo Juniper.

Abdulla all of a sudden appeared on the scene with his label... and a couple months later he pops by again with this 2nd twelve. Trippy deep gritty techno tracks from this guy thats clearly not aiming to be the next most popular producer in the Resident Advisor poll.

Superb 2 shooter from The TDK crew member BrZ ! Dancefloor mental acid Tribe sounds rules !

Totally dope and hypnotic UK Garage/Hip Hop/Grime mutations!

Medical Records presents the third release in our Transfusions 12" singles series. Certain Creatures (born Oliver Chapoy) currently resides in Brooklyn, NY but has a career dating back to the early 90's. He has roots in the Miami hardcore scene that evolved into post-rock and even electronic pop (Warm Ghost). He began exploring electronics as Certain Creatures in 2013 with a 12" on Styles Upon Styles with guest vocals from Stuart Argabright which led to Oliver producing the 2014 Black Rain comeback record on Blackest Ever Black. In 2015, Oliver created a lush and enthralling LP Vipassana, also released on Styles Upon Styles. For this particular release for Transfusions, Oliver sought to step out of his production bias comfort zone by recording live takes with minimal editing and production in order to maintain a dirty, raw, haze-filled warehouse aesthetic. Mission accomplished! The 12" contains 5 tracks total of uncompromising techno which we are ecstatic to unleash on the world. Presented on classic 160gram black vinyl in our Transfusions 12" sleeve. Mastered by Martin Bowes at the Cage Studios, UK. Crucial material for fans of Surgeon, Regis, as well as labels such as Downwards, Mote-Evolver, and the like.

A new collaboration project on Crowdspacer.
Bryce Hackford, part of one of the most daring DJ crew in NYC (Deep Trouble), true purveyor of a certain New York club culture legacy (think Arthur Russell) and author of 2 acclaimed albums, came to Joakim's studio and after a few hours of live synth and drum machine jamming, JHACK was born. I would describe this as 'psychedelic voodoo house music'. But it's up to you really.

Dutch label Field Records is back with another special album project, this time from Japanese producer ENA aka Yu Asaeda. Bridge is an introspective soundtrack for a documentary also called Bridge - out this Spring - which is about the Dejima bridge, a reconstructed symbol of the Dutch-Japanese trading history in Nagasaki, Japan. The album finds the producer stepping outside of his usual remit of dark ambient and experimental music, and instead comprises ten shorter tracks that touch on abstract and rhythmic sounds that define the essence of Japanese culture. Although he has worked with the director before, this is ENA's first Original Sound Track and finds him freely inspired by the movie and heading in exciting and unknown directions. Hugely atmospheric throughout, there is hypnotic repetition of sounds, strange audio design and a mixture of melancholic moods with more dreamy synths. Sometimes gloopy rhythms gently ripple beneath soothing harmonies and at others times a micro-rhythm appears through the constantly shifting and evolving found sound loops. It's a compelling and unusual album that seamlessly mixes human emotions with a mechanical sense of industry.

Dj feedback:

Mano le Tough (Permanent Vacation): "Amazing sound"

Inverted Audio: "Subconsciously affecting, emotionally invigorating work here. Loving this."

DJ Mag LA: "This album shows that the of ENA sounds are an overflowing line that perfectly combines human emotions. Feel is the perfect word to define the entire album."

ESHU Records hits release number ten with a new EP from the in-house production collective made up of Jocelyn Abell, Ivano Tetelepta and Daniel Lekatompessy. Fraktur features six tracks of stripped back house and techno that are all atmospheric and heady. Opener Winter Track is a smooth and rolling dub techno number that is grainy and economical yet hugely absorbing thanks to its circling synth details and woody drums. Creating Moods is even more expansive and spacious, with gently swirling pads enveloping a soft, broken rubber kick drum. The title track is another expertly distilled, dry and heady groove with its frayed edges and warm analogue feel, then 'Hello' really flips the script with over driven Jeff Mills kicks and intergalactic synths bring a spooky sci-fi feel to proceedings. Yorubaland is then a cosmic ambient interlude with fax tones bleeping and blipping as lazy pads smear out in the background and last of all Core comes on strong with more quick and slick intergalactic techno carrying you off to some distant planet. This is another faultless EP from this fine Dutch collective. Pressed on 180 grams vinyl.

In December 2013 Fishermen released their debut album ''Patterns and Paths'' An album that was very well-received. Now they're back! This time with remixes from some of the standout tracks from the album. Cut Hands, Florian Kupfer, Steve Bicknell, Abdulla Rashim and Varg's project Ulwhednar is delivering the remixes

FTD's fourth release sees Gramrcy whip-up a bunch of typically UK, stripped back, club business. The most ear rattling release on the label to date.

Boris Bunnik dons his Hexagon scuba gear before diving into electronic abstraction and aquatic electricity. Counter Utopia brings together three works of machine textures. "Cerebral Trauma" is submerged in a simmering liquor of smelted metal, molten melodies bubbling to the surface as ball bearings fizz and rattle. Industrial experimentation undercuts the entire EP. Soulful chords are stretched, contracted and contorted against the clean percussion lines of "Utopia." Machines echo in the finale. Gears groan against a backdrop of soaring synths and pulsations in the depths of "Paranormal."

Straight up raw techno from the Feel Music boss. For fans of his 11 51 26 41 2 EP from 2015 on Running Back. 1 of 3.

After more than a decade of exploration, Kundi's first release remarks a new beginning of the artist, a newly born label, and a platform for merchandising music.
Hovering between melancholy and melodic hopefulness with Kundi's techno signature, Passing Strangers' unfolds into a 3-track LP. The triangular composition was inspired by "The Color Wheel Theory of Love" — a theory created by a Canadian psychologist John Alan Lee to describe different types of love.

Replacement Duty, representing a loner's longing for connection after long hours of sleep deprivation, enters with a plain sound and clean definition as the track evolves the wandering leads and progressive bass-line hits the composition.

The Color Wheel brings the mind back to more familiar, safer places. A long-awaited attempt at restoring conventional ways, its unveiling bassline puts the senses back to rest from dismays, confusions, and sparse feelings.

Passing Strangers, on its peak, concedes a confession of a disappointment. A technoid tripping with strong punch, a play of intertwining sounds and melancholic evolving arrangement, opens access to psyche's unusual places as a realization of the consequences of expectations.

Midwich is proud to present Moon Pool and Dead Band's MEQ (pronounced MEK--futurespeak for `mech'), an album of swinging, dirty, analog techno-funk, created with mountains of old synthesizers. MEQ consists of Moon Pool and Dead Band's earliest track, reworked by some of Detroit's (and ex-Detroit) best producers: Patrick Russell, BMG (Brendan M. Gillen of Ectomorph), JTC (James T. Cotton/Dabrye/Charles Manier aka Tadd Mullinix), Ice Cold Chrissy (Coyote Clean Up), Michael Dykehouse, Erno the Inferno and Nate Young in Wolf Eyes mode. MEQ plays like an album, rather than a collection of remixes. The remixers were supplied with "stems" nearly one-half hour long, leaving each with an abundance of raw material at their disposal. There are no cloying, repetitive vocal hooks to disrupt the sonic narrative. Deep, dystopian techno-funk is delivered with the unerring raw assurance that only seasoned masters could deliver, leaving the music's rough edges appealingly unvarnished. The strong, danceable music is rugged enough to test the limits of any club sound-system, yet contains nuances, subtleties and warmth that make it ideal for home listening. Mastered by Ruud Lekx (Rude 66) and cut by Josh Bonati at Bonati Mastering in NYC. MEQ comes housed in a wide full-color UV gloss jacket featuring artwork by renowned sci-fi illustrator, Mark Salwowski, with layout by designer Beth Hall. A digital download code is included.  Detroit-based Moon Pool and Dead Band's David Shettler and Nate Young both have long and diverse musical histories: David Shettler is an in-demand musician and producer, playing with legendary outfits SSM, The Sights, Rodriguez, Paul Collins, Scott Morgan and many more. Nate Young is known for his work with Wolf Eyes, Regression, Dan'l Boone, Demons and many more. He is also known for his visual art and has exhibited in galleries worldwide.

Antigone returns with Ostinato for TOKEN75. Ostinato 1 is mild and disconcerting, with strings that verge on unnatural in their high pitch. Ostinato 2 is more traditionally dramatic, the space this time filled with keys that follow the ongoing theme,building to an ostentatious crescendo reminiscent of the roots of trance.

After a debut 12" on Vanity Press in 2017 and a successful followup on Portage Garage Sounds, Black Noi$e returns for his first solo full length, 'Illusions' spanning 10 tracks, 48 minutes, over 2 discs, with a beautiful full sleeve by Bernard Veyu with a matte finish. Coming into his own, Detroit's Black Noi$e delivers a complete work, traversing styles and sounds from the past while looking far into to the future.

Re-release alert! Remastered version of a valuable electro must have!

FRAK are back on track with this dreamy album with deep dark hypnotic slow rhythmic tracks. This is experimental analog and haunting dancemusic at slow BPMs which gives you a glimpse of swedish smalltown dystopia in all its glory. The A1 track might give the impression that this is a romantic record and the A side in general will make big city people feel the urge to move to small towns again, but on the B-side it just gets darker and weirder (the smalltown kinda reveals its ugly underbelly) and it all ends with a track that would make the taped nipples fake fetishists in techno city shiver. I could say you need a mask to play this out, but lets not take it that far. For old fans of FRAK this record both delivers (A-side) and challenges (B-side). Me, I want doubles. -Joakim Cosmo

Glasgow's Stephen Lopkin follows his fantastic album on M>O>S with The Imitator EP, a tongue-in-cheek tribute to the golden era of techno. 4 tracks covering a broad range of styles from Detroit to the classic UK sound of the 90s. Serene electronics abound though every track packs a considerable punch making this EP as at home for home listening as it is for packing out the dancefloor.

Remix EP for The Gods Planet "LP1" with NX1, Deepbass & Ness and Svart1 versions.

Crash Course In Science are a post punk band that formed in 1979 in Philadelphia. The band members, Dale Feliciello, Mallory Yago and Michael Zodorozny, met while attending art school, where they began to experiment with crude electronics and off-beat lyrics. CCIS avoided conventional instrumentation by using toy instruments and kitchen appliances to augment the distorted guitar, drums and synthesized beats. Their first single, 'Cakes in the Home' was released in 1979 followed by a 4-song 12 EP 'Signals From Pier Thirteen' in 1981.

'Jump Over Barrels' was recorded at the Third Story Studio in Philadelphia in 1981, one year after 'Signals From Pier Thirteen'. The song remained unmixed and unreleased at that time for a proposed album titled 'Near Marineland'. Lyrically the song tackles overcoming obstacles, self imposed or otherwise, with vocal interplay between Michael and Mallory. On the A Side is the original mix and a demo mix from 1981. Then on the flip is a brand new remix by prolific Ann Arbor producer Charles Manier, a pseudonym of Tadd Mullinix, who toughens up the track. Also included is an unreleased demo version of the song from 1980, accentuating the raw and skeletal nature of the track.

All songs have been remastered for vinyl by George Horn at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley. It is in a custom-made jacket by our in-house designer Eloise Leigh that incorporates waveform-esque squiggles jumping over abstract barrel symbols, plus a postcard with lyrics and notes.

We are very happy to introduce our new EP (APPIAN012) by Estrato Aurora.Hailing from Valencia, and with a phenomenal array of hardware at his disposal, Estrato Aurora has dreamt up a beautiful deep Techno Ep for us. 4 tracks that can be played during sub-heavy warm-up duties, deep into the night for a heads-down foggy vibe or early in the morning for something a bit warmer, tripping and uplifting. Timeless cuts to suit all intimate dance floors. 12" Release. Artwork By Philip Mitton.

Los Angeles-based artist False Witness drops three rapturous cuts on E-Missions EP entitled 'Red Curtain Daybreak', featuring a deadly remix from Berlin's Henning Baer.

Real name Marco Gomez, False Witness is an artist, producer and DJ from Boston who's spent recent years making a name for themselves in New York as a respected resident at Venus X's iconic club night, GHE20G0TH1K; their own monthly series at Bossa Nova Civic named In The Dark; not to mention releases on labels like Bastard Brigade and Lit City Trax. An artist creating genre defying dance music, False Witness now appears E-Missions, joining a varied roster of quality artists such as Rush Plus, Tred, CYD, as well as label co-founders P.Leone and Caiazzo.

Featuring three very different sounding originals, 'Red Curtain Daybreak' sets out to soundtrack Gomez's experience of the new light and space movement within the Brooklyn underground. The title track is a fast and furious techno roller with relentless drums and a hypnotic lead. Named after Lauren Berlant's constitutive theoretical work on neoliberal desire, 'Cruel Optimism' offers respite from the chaos with a contemplative projection of post-euphoria.

On the flip, 'Devil May Cry' reworks the same elements of 'Red Curtain Daybreak' into a peaktime techno roller with a sinister bassline. Finally, German producer Henning Baer concludes matters with a hypnotic remix of 'Devil May Cry' featuring a captivating rhythmic arrangement.

After previously appearing on Thema's digital series back in 2016, Gabriella Vergilov returns to the label's vinyl arm with a set of distinctive hardware techno reuminations to send shivers down your spine. "Termosfera" strides in confidently with a grinding mechanical synth hook that subtly shifts around the 4/4 drum pattern like all the best wormhole techno should. "Siempre Loco" is a sparser affair that focuses on space and poise, using minimal ingredients for maximum effect. "Boring Shit" bucks against the suggestion of its title to fire off a set of rhythmical cycles that feel indebted to the vast outer reaches of space. Detroit hero T-1000 runs with this idea and pings the track into a particularly funky star system somewhere very far away from planet Earth.

Long time MINUS artist Jon Gaiser is back with his fourth studio album on Richie Hawtin's influential techno label, simply entitled 'III'. The first signals from the album are sent with March single 'On The Way.' It is a funky track with wriggling synths executed in undeniable Gaiser fashion. Textured hi hats and loopy bass all work on sucking you into the colorful and trippy groove. Add into the package a typical big remix from SCI+TEC boss and techno megastar Dubfire and you have one of the most essential releases of 2017.

Subliminale Materiale is the 5th installation on Lustpoderosa. Kind of a split EP. The A side with two remixes and two original jams of Jack Pattern on the B side. With this release we want to point out the remixes on the A side. Both done by Lustpoderosas favourite producers and DJs: Sneaker aka Dunkeltier (Uncanny Valley, Rat Life, Frigio) and Kris Baha (Power Station, Pinkman Cocktail D`Amore) . We guess you know and love them as much as we do.

That Tpt 01 Sounds Good : Ragga Hardtek, Hardfloor And Hard Pumpin.

Play It Say It welcome a trio of top talents in Luca M, JUST2 and Atapy for a new EP featuring four fresh dancefloor tracks that are destined for big things.
Romanian Luca M is a real techno talent who counts mainstays like Marco Carola and Richie Hawtin as fans. From Suara to Terminal M, he has released on the most vital labels and runs his own Get Funky Music in collaboration with JUST2, who he works with here on three of the tracks. A fellow Romanian of equally international repute, he can lock in a dancefloor for hours on end.

Opener 'Acid Ghetto' is a masterfully slick house track with electrifying synths and restless, non-stop drums. The whole thing races along and sweeps you up with freaky vocal sounds, whirring machines and bendy pads that are as heady as they are dance friendly. The excellent 'Restore' is a supple groover with an elastic bassline and bright piano chords that will twist and turn the dancefloor out of shape and. Next up 'Bechamel' is more stripped back, with a dynamic deep house feeling permeated by dark chopped up vocals and the sort of slippery rhythm that hypnotises the whole club.

The final track is from JUST2 & Atapy, a producer who has been making his mark since 2010 on the likes of Get Physical and working with artists such as Noir and Louisahhh!!!. Their 'Levels' is a perfectly bumping house track with rich, rubbery drums and tumbling synth chords that bring an off-kilter charm to the driving grooves.

This summer, Skint Records serve up a brilliant package of remixes of Midfield General's huge 1999 smash 'Reach Out' with Linda Lewis. The new remixes come from the one and only Crooked Man and feature vocals re-recorded by Linda in 2000 which were consigned to a draw waiting for the right person to use them. Crooked Man is that person, aka Richard Barratt, a uniquely inventive house and disco producer whose self-titled 2016 album on DFA was one of the most revered of the year. He has a knack for off-kilter greatness and has also released on Optimo Trax. Interestingly, he and Midfield General both worked together on Zebra Face, a cartoon about a hip hop obsessed Zebra and his diabetic side kick for Channel 4. The show featured voices from Kid Acne, Jarvis Cocker, Roots Manuva and Lady Chann amongst others. It also turned out that Midfield General was a huge fan of the Crooked Man album before realising who was behind it, so got in touch ask for some remixes.
The results are 2 typically unusual new dance floor bombs.
The classy Remix #2 is down and dirty, with warped bass twisting and turning underneath metallic drum hits. The vocals are more aloof here and lend the whole track a feeling of effortless cool as synths gently undulate and carry you late into the night. Another standout effort, Remix #3 is somewhere in-between. It's an airy track with driving house drums and hits, and elegiac synths that bring real dynamism and musicality to the track. It's clean and soulful in design and one to bring the whole floor together as one.
These tasteful remixes have emotion and groove to spare.

Phil Merrall + Traditions... Music Speaks For Itself!

Rebar, the duo behind the >made of CONCRETE Rebar Rebar Rebar 1< sees a versatile three piece assortment with a seemingly common theme. Field recordings make ample appearances in Rebar s work and this release makes no exception: a large part of the elements were recorded in and around train stations of a famous metropolis. Further info can be revealed on the flipside of the vinyl.

First of the year on Butter Sessions sees label heads Sleep D return with their first solo EP since 2017. Two unclassifiable, deep and euphoric bangers come out of the woods with elements of techno, idm and bass music.

Opening up the record we have 'U+Zone' a sweet and heart warming electro-cosmic force that takes inspiration from the deep ocean and the stark, spacious landscape of outback Australia.

Emerging on the flip, 'Centro' turns the mood to the darker side with it's eerie chords and choir harmonies, held together with a monstrous drum and bass rytm designed for the freaks and geeks out there.

Krym Mryk, a young record label based in Crimea, was started by Stas Karpenkov with a DIY approach. It all began when Stas approached Ildar Zaynetdinov (Gost Zvuk Records) with music of his own. Back then, Ildar used to host the RADIO GOST broadcast, presenting new electronic music from Russia, and Stas's music made it onto the air. Eventually he issued a 7-inch with his music in November 2016, thus starting a label of his own. And now he comes back with a new techno/ambient 12 "inch includes a remix by Stanislav Tolkachev.

For our fourth release we are glad to introduce The Sarcasm Ensemble with  'Through All Windows I SeeOnly Infinity" - an 8-track aural excursion into the depths of anxiety and back.

Yeah, blah blah. Lorem ipsum rainbow banana bullshit tacos. Aren't those release descriptions really senseless and stupid As if anyone cared about a text explaining music. It s like posting selfies or continuously crying about the good old days. But you know what, while writing this - I'm sitting here on a wooden chair at my favorite pizza spot. The sun is shining and I m eating these damn delicious pizza margherita slices. I might get some tiramisu afterwards. I don't know. Dessert first some might say. But I'm more a dessert after kind of guy. Anyway, tiramisu is always a good choice.

PS: I guess now you still don't know anything about the record, but reading a lame description wouldn't help either.

The next episode in the Aquarian Motion epic!

Detroit duo Ataxia offer up their 'Kodak Moment' EP via Visionquest this March, accompanied by an edit from label co-founders Shaun Reeves and Ryan Crosson.

Eric Ricker and Ted Krisko aka Ataxia have been at the forefront of the contemporary house and techno scene for some time, racking up releases on some of the leading labels across the globe such as Leftroom, Nervous, Culprit and Play It Say It, making the duo one of Detroit's finest exports in recent years. Here we see them making their debut on Visionquest, the label of fellow Detroit natives Ryan Crosson, Shaun Reeves and Lee Curtiss.

'VHS' leads the package with murky synth swells, resonant synth sweeps and fluttering square wave bass tones at it's core as shuffled drums carry the ever-evolving hypnotic groove along. The original mix of 'Kodak Moment' follows, shifting the focus over to snaking bass lines, mind-bending, modulating synth whirrs and dynamic, choppy percussion throughout.

Reeves & Crosson's 'Edit' of 'Kodak Moment' then rounds out the release, stripping things back to ethereal atmospherics and shuffled drums whilst subtly stirring in the original's hooky bass groove as the interpretation unfolds.

In 1990, raising their voices over the sound of Neuropolitique's 'Mind you don't trip' Sebastian S. and Mike DMA (Direct Memory Access) met, breaking the ice by swapping opinions on LFO and 808 State. They later went on to create the first live configuration of BWP Experiments (Bad Woofer Posse Experiments, for more info see basicmoves), and produced dozens of tracks together which, for the most part, were live takes and remain unreleased. Only
a few made it out into the world, and to this day have stayed well under the (discogs) radar:
Our Techno Theory' was put out on an 8-tracker cassette by Research and Development,
while only two productions 'Escape' and 'Pay your taxes' were pressed on vinyl for the same
imprint. Now Sebastian S. (aka Caustic 14) returns to the label with two previously unreleased tracks
found in his personal archive. 'Excalibur' was produced in tandem with Mike during the last
session the pair ever did in Sebastian's studio (Z'ha'dum) in 1996. It's a vibrant hommage to
their common passion outside of music: Sci-fi. This track refers specifically to the series Babylon
5 , which was a revolution in the genre, and the first tv series to outdo Star Trek (the intergalactic
reference since the early 1960's). The idea of being 'united against darkness' was key to the
series, and the motto remained essential for Sebastian, Mike and Deg's music productions,
collaborations, live shows and dj sets. The influence of what had been a passion since
childhood can be felt in their sound: unconsciously they had dreamt up the soundtrack to their
own space journey. The second track 'Cliffhanger', a solo production by Sebastian S., is a dig from several years
earlier (1994). The Detroit influence is strong here, yet the signature Caustic 14 "space opera"
melodies hold their ground and shine out.
We are very proud to propel this Belgian electronic music heritage out into the world.

In memory of Matt Cogger.

Label's head-honcho Kill Ref collects 9 unreleased tracks
from 2012-2017 archive, all often anonymously on air on his
own late night radio-shows broadcast from the small
country studio. A sleepy invisible bridge between outskirts
and metro-cities. All tracks also aims at telling about the
small southern IT countryside visions and sounds where Kill
Ref comes from.

Spatial Cues is a series of split singles sounding out main(void)'s and Kon Janson's shared musical space. Operating out of Berlin and London, the two artists join forces to showcase their mutual vision of techno music. CUES004 accelerates the series to 133 BPM and ramps up intensity with thumping kick drums and uncompromising arrangements that revolve around ceaseless chord stabs. With its hypnotizing chord pattern drifting in and out of arced echoes and subtle shifts in timbre, CUES004 A's haunting atmosphere radiates a surreal sense of weightless pressure, paradoxically soothing and violent at the same time.
Based on a divergent theme that contrasts upfront chord stabs and ruthless 909 cymbals with easeful pads and finespun textures, CUES004 B builds up to a transition that disrupts the deeper elements with a stripped-down pattern, fully carving out the track's inherent grittiness.

For the second release of their own imprint "Rapid Eye Movement", Memorial Home heads the way and signs an opus chock-full of profoundly personal character, high sensitivity and forceful refinement.
The EP, to be issued in November 2017 in both vinyl and digital versions, features three original tracks and two remixes composed by Kas:st and AWB. Properly titled "Somewhere", it is driven by an aesthetic quest for the essence of musical creation, when it becomes a channel of connection with the deepest self or intimate soul. Technical brilliance, expressed in its purest form and exempt of any tricks or artifices, here is clearly used to serve emotive escapism and the elevation of mind, while the body is shivered by sensitive thrills. Thanks to this mature recipe, the duo leads us into a crystal halo nurtured by immersive and melodic waves of arpeggios and emphasized by evocative ethereal breakdowns. With "Silver" and "Somewhere", the techno dogging beat and the steady bassline are appropriately mastered to highlight the dramatic progression of melodic synth textures that have a fierce mystical appeal. "Escape" demonstrates that an ambient-like downtempo can reach the same magnetic effect by harnessing a mixture of intimate and hypnotic atmospheres. The more energetic or banging techno approach adopted by Kas:st and AWB magnifies the cosmic spirit of the original signature without losing its genuine emotional sophistication and complexity. A captivating demonstration of anti-demonstrative mastery. No doubt that with this new release Memorial Home will speak to the mind of knowledgeable music lovers as well as nightclubbers in demand of subtle and elegant flavors.

Recorded throughout Summer. Heavily woven with field recording and beautifully driven with dub chords and basslines.

D.A.N.C.E. (Detector for Advanced Neutron Capture Experiments), the various artists series of the label, comes back with the italians Ness, Luigi Tozzi and the french Underjack. On the a-side with "TMB" Ness turns a robotic rhythm in a dark electric / industrial infected tunnel. LuigiTozzi's a2 Blood Meridian' strikes soft under an oppressive butterfly effect creating an intense flow. Underjack on the b-side delivers a nebulous groove that is responsible of a eight minutes of immense hypnotic techno cut with energy drums and crispy bassline.

Taking it back to the old school and manufactured in the space of 5 week, this handmade nugget of black crack beat the previous release and all it's issues.

Dr Spaventi once again provides the expert mastering to some artisanal Yorkshire electronics from Northern Powerhouse.

The full range of frequencies have been lovingly captured and set for eternity into nice and solid, hand pressed plastic before being bound in gorgeously minimal white paper "inners". Adding individual nuance to each and every record, is a stylised image of the visionary York philanthropist, Joseph Rowntree. Details of which tracks are which are lovingly incorporated into this image using a black ink to stand against Mr Rowntree's brilliance. The hand screened label, uses the latest in dual pizza/kitchen table printing technology™ with a tried and tested lounge floor drying system to ensure any moisture is gone before the vinyl is shipped, so that transport weight can be kept to a minimum and savings passed on to you.

In the studio Prototype 909 was a group that rarely agreed on a clear idea of exactly what they were trying to accomplish. The entire project was an experiment, and every time they hit record there was nothing better for them to do than to just try stuff.

Whenever it came time to put together an album they would go through what they had recently done and nd the tracks that seemed to fit together well, or that at least sounded like they were made by the same group. That left on the cutting room foor some really amazing worst that somehow just didn't 'fit" their goals at the time. At Schmer, we remember. P-909 leftovers have Schmer written all over them...

These four tracks were all recorded live in the studio in between their three studio albums 93-97. Brenecki ( half of Ontal ) provided his remix inspired by one of them.

"Hyperdrive" and "Datafash" were recorded shortly after Acid Technology was released in 93. They come from the "lets make Acid Technology Vol 2 approach'. That would have made a really cool record had they done it but they decided on making Transistor Rhythm instead. "ANOISE-NYC" aka "The Tracs that Dietrich Hates" is what you get when you let Jason go nuts on a Doepfer MAQ-16
( they never made that mistake again ). "Bobo" is possibly the most prototypical P-909 tracks ever: it took three guys making their own tracks simultaneously almost ignoring what the others

were doing but somehow mixing them into a flow to make this one, but it all comes together nicely in the end. Its amazing that they never released it before.

You've enjoyed the wait, now enjoy your "new" Prototype 909 while it still is new!

Freedom To Spend's first catalog wide deep dive into an artist's career focuses on four albums from Rimarimba, beginning with 1983's Below The Horizon, followed by 1984's On Dry Land, 1985's In The Woods, and finally, the once-imagined, now-realized assembly of 1988's Light Metabolism Number Prague.

Somewhere out there around the turn of the 1980s, to the left of the post-punk crew, to the right of the minimalists, and surfacing with a friendlier face than the dour industrialists of the time - there existed, seemingly unbidden, an entire, networked, tape-trading community; a community that crossed continents and oceans, that relied on the postal service to do its bidding; a community full of humble visionaries and lost, misunderstood, or just plain ignored home steeped genius.

Exploring that thicket of weirdness in the UK wild, you'd likely stumble across labels like Cordelia, Hamster, and Unlikely; compilations like the should-be-legendary Obscure Independent Classics series, or the Real Time cassettes; and inexplicable one-offs like The Deep Freeze Mice, Jody & The Creams, R. Stevie Moore, Leven Signs, Jung Analysts, and Rimarimba.

Rimarimba was the project of Robert Cox, based in Felixstowe, on the seaside in Suffolk, UK. Rimarimba was not Cox's first entry into the world of recorded music, but was the first time he explored, most perceptively, the parameters of a particular musical mode: one where minimalism is removed from its 'high-art' mantle, Cox inveigling its practices in amongst the doit-yourself creativity of a burgeoning and beguiling underground, letting the music breathe - and most importantly, letting it play, gifting it with imagination.

The first in the Rimarimba series, 1983's Below The Horizon, feature Cox in exploratory mode, figuring out exactly how to make his music. There's a pleasure in hearing how he feels out the parameters of his aesthetic, here - there's a boxy minimalism, slightly clunky and charming with it, that reflects the home-spun, improvisatory tenor of the compositions. It's ambitious music, though, wanting to do the most and the best it can with its limited resources. Cox himself admits to not being 'pre-wired' to making this music, but that only makes it more compelling: 'Were I to be properly musical, it wouldn't actually work as well in some ways; it'd be just another album of contemporary clattery music.'

On October 5, Freedom To Spend will offer Below the Horizon in a one-time edition of 750 copies, followed On Dry Land and In The Woods on January 8, 2019 and February 22, respectively. Each album features artwork reinterpreted from its original edition by Will Work For Good, and accompanying abstracts by Jon Dale.

In Skymn's first addition to our sacred doctrine we get to experience the hypnotic trance evoked in voodoo rituals by ancient African cults. With mud up to their knees, bonfires brazing and bone suits rattling in harmony with the beat, the congregation creates a vibe that is almost corrosive. Cannibalistic fetishism, unholy vibrations and maddening techniques of ecstasy that joins the living with the dead.

It's a pleasure to get behind your friends from around world, in fact that's the motive behind the breadth of the ESP Institute catalogue, but its truly a special feeling to represent your friends and your neighborhood at the same time. Producers Sonns (Alexandre Mouracade) and the mysterious Venice Beach native Tavish Graham are both long time friends of the ESP Institute family, we break bread, we take care of each other, and we cherish our collaborations more than anything, but we're also neighbors. That said, ESP is proud to announce a homegrown endeavor, the debut of Sonns & Tavish. The two have long been stewards of the Los Angeles underground, but after loads of early morning banter and the camaraderie that comes with this smoke'n'strobe life, they've now committed their singular vision to print—two epic cuts that make us proud. Side A's title track Trycksaker is a thumper, a mid-tempo big-drum-laden beast that chugs the whole way through carrying an array of eerie bleeps and fleeting sighs. Side B's Roguish Days pulls together influences from various corners of the pair's DJ repertoire, gelling a wicked breakbeat with a wormy acid bassline and even more exotic sighs, something that might possibly grow into a signature of sorts. This release is ready just in time for the Spring/Summer exploits, and we couldn't be more proud to finally enjoy hearing these heavy-hitters in the club. Tip!

XGLARE (all caps), is Jessee Egan, a Brooklyn-based producer, sound designer and multimedia artist. She has released music under multiple aliases since 2011, most notably on AY Japan. Her latest incarnation, XGLARE, balances warped sound design, unearthly atmospheres and experimental rhythms that reject genre boundaries.

Representing Brooklyn in full force on the debut record, 'Morph EP,' XGLARE yields incredibly heavy atmospheres. This is a mature record showing patience, design and a thoughtfulness sorely lacking in much of the electronic music scene. Beats and dance elements take center stage alongside impossibly powerful, almost elemental transitions. Track 1, Lymph sets the tone with an updated halcyon rave sound. Imagine standing in a field in the countryside at an illegal rave at 6 in the morning as the sun is rising, wind blowing in the air. Track 2 Fossa feat ARIADNE, an Opera trained singer, immediately submits you to whisper shouting, a highlight of the album. In between more dance floor-oriented tracks, Spore and Plexus, sit two sound design gems, title track Morph with its pounding rhythmic charges and vast reverberated rooms, and Ganglia, which reminds of early Do You Know-era Squarepusher. A well-rounded EP showing off the many talents of XGLARE also comes housed in beautiful artwork designed by Egan herself.

Ukrainian producer Yan Cook steps up for his second EP in a row on Delsin Records' Inertia series, the dancefloor focussed offshoot that is running since 2011. After recent outings on Soma and his own Cooked imprint he now brings his trademark spangled techno back to the label where he appeared for the first time in 2012. Once again it's sub shaking and room filling techno madness, shuffling percussion and rippling grooves made for the big floors and smokey warehouses.

From techno tribe to powerfull tribe sound. A wicked compilation various artists with a large Funky Propension... Tikal, Oqp and Spiral Tribe Collabs !

Seth Troxler's Play It Say It label opens up 2018 with another release from the highly regarded Ataxia, who serve up their third EP for the imprint.The Detroit duo impressed with their previous outings on the label, The Supertouch EP back in July 2017 and The Acid EP in 2016. Since then they have also released on Leftroom and Nervous and continued their eight year residency at prominent Detroit venue TV Lounge. Their fresh take on Motor City techno often comes with flashes of acid and makes cyber punks Ted Krisko and Eric Ricker one of the most interesting pairs in the game. Opening up the essential EP is 'Quicksand', an immediately arresting and busy electro track with real machine soul. The bassline bubbles and boils underneath crisp percussion and emotive keys bring a sense of tenderness. It's a macho cut with robust drums and is sure to win over any crowd.
The fresh 'Hot Snakes' is a deep, menacing track with dark bass gurgling beneath the airy hi hats. Frazzled synths are dystopian and brain frying, and together the whole thing takes you into hypnotic territory with an intense sense of urgency that is impossible to ignore.Last of all is the freakiest of the lot. The brilliant 'Texas is the Reason' has circling bass that is warped and intriguing and will own any club, while the drums drive on and trippy keys are skewed and twisted up top. It's a truly intense record for late in the night that is sure to become a big tune.
This is an expressive and varied EP full of contemporary and innovative Detroit house and techno sounds and marks another step in the Ataxia story.

Following the release of his Projector EP earlier this month, Daniel Avery has enlisted revered London producer Four Tet aka Kieran Hebden for a remix of 'Quick Eternity', taken from the former's long-awaited second album Song For Alpha.

Hebden flips the warm, undulating synths and crystalline percussion of Avery's original in his own inimitable style, building shimmering, skittering flourishes before a pneumatic final half.

nd here comes a crazy hardcore record... 12 minutes per side, with loads of 2/3 minutes tunes... A sweet crazy eyeblink to the gabba sound. Riccardo Balli high time !
