vier deepe pumende technotracks !!!

One day VRIL sat down in his station and suddenly a Portal opened. Thru a kind of timehole infinitive moments passed by. Luckily he was able to capture a few of those to share with us. The Portal closed. Nothing was left, no questions.. only this LP.

EP number eight of the "10 Years De:tuned" series is centered around the 303 tinged acidic sound. This release kicks off with a new and innovative version of Humanoid's highly ranked and major influential classic acid house cut, followed by a proper rave peak time slammer courtesy of Mike Dred. The B-side brings Luke Vibert's grinding acid funk rhythm to the table, plus the squelchy "Strunkelpotz" produced by the cult duo Air Liquide, resulting in a broader spectrum of acid-referencing styles with the same brain-melting effect!

Kevin Foakes (Openmind, DJ Food, Ninja Tune) created all the graphic work. Mastered by Matt Colton at Alchemy Mastering and pressed on 180 gr vinyl. Stay tuned!

Kenny Gino and Big Mike a.k.a. the Solid Gold Playaz both started playing records in the late 70's/early 80's. They both seemed to have a unique ability to program music to move the crowds that would come to the "red light" basement parties in their neighborhoods, and would later play some of the same clubs in the Milwaukee area, as well as doing similar radio shows at the same college. Having family from Chicago, who were DJ's and down with some of the big guys at the time, "heavily influenced our music and production styles" both say. "Living so close to the city, we could go down to all the legendary night spots. The Rainbow and the Warehouse, the Box, the Shelter... places where you could just feel the vibe."

official re-issue / vinyl only

Originally released by Michael Simon & Shahin Moshirian back in 1996 on Master Maximum Trance Traxx, Silverplate is considered one of the best Hard Trance releases of all time, with the vinyl release becoming highly sought after over the years.

Following Michael Simon giving us his permission, this massive Hard Trance Classic is being repressed, 23 years later, in collaboration between Simon Cutmore & Underground Music.

Although the original DATs were no longer available, this has been remastered from uncompressed CD source, and sounds fantastic. The label artwork pays homage to the original sleeve & centre label, and comes in a generic sleeve.

We're extremely proud to repress this masterpiece!

Essential reissue of the first Bunker release by Unit Moebius

Essential electro-techno classic. This is the second record from Ectomorph and second record for the label Interdimensional Transmissions, from 1995. This is the first time it has been repressed in over a decade, and its been done using the original masters -- coming from 2 wizards of Midwest Mastering. The A side was mastered by Mark Richardson at Metropolis (who later founded Prairie Cat Mastering) and the B side is complete with lock grooves cut by Ron Murphy. Manufactured in Detroit!

Vril's now classic 2014 Delsin debut.

* Believe it or not, but it's almost a quarter of a century since Liquid's Top 20, gold-selling Sweet Harmony first stormed the UK charts and 2017 sees Liquid return with the brand-new Energy Flows; an album rich in the authentic '91/'92 London sound and style...

* 12 slamming tracks, fully capturing the atmosphere and dynamic of this classic and pioneering era in British dance music, Energy Flows features the dub-heavy beats of No Hooligans and Rude Boy alongside the early-'90s vibe of It Is What It Is - its firing breakbeats and beautiful strings and pianos, evoking the definitive Liquid sound.

* Now based in sunny Rome, Liquid's Eamon Downes explained: 'the concept and goal behind these sessions was so clear, this project has me buzzing like the heyday of rave. And my biggest vices these days are coffee and gelato.'

* An ultra-limited run of 500 triple-pack vinyl albums, catch Energy Flows while you can - it's essential listening for new and old ravers alike.
