RAWAX proudly welcomes Mr. Gerald Henderson aka Jammin Gerald a true Chicago House legend to the family!
We're happy to bring you this great ghetto house release from 1997 back & re-mastered on vinyl!

We are exited that a nerve wrecking period of careful selection and an anxious search for the most sublime collection of modern day techno has come to an end. With every end comes a new beginning and this 2 disq masterpiece Planet Rhythm album sets the marker for something new and raises the bar to incredible heights!
In the footsteps of previous albums from pioneers like Adam Beyer (Decoded / Recoded) and Headroom (Shades of Shape), Planet Rhythm now unleashed another collection with todays major players and a sound that will make your head spin 360 degrees and warps you into a new era in 8 skull-crushing blows!

The first catalogue number from the house of Formatik comes from Format:B

3LP, 2CD + 27 Track Mp3 review on Acid Jesus, the first of many collaborations between Roman Flügel and Jörn Elling Wuttke. Including 3 (+1 more on Mp3) unreleased tracks! Situated in Germany's then blistering techno scene and especially a mirror of Frankfurt at the time (and it´s holy label trinity of Playhouse, Klang and Ongaku), Flashbacks are also a feedback loop to what was happening in the UK and the USA. Flügel and Wuttke succeeded with their own and unique take on it, that owned as much to Underground Resistance and the Belleville Three as it did to Sven Väth and Andrew Weatherall.

Techno-electro classic from Syncom Data finally gets a repress. The record that started the Syncom Data label.

It's safe to say that Terence Fixmer's track "Aktion Mekanik Theme", originally released on Music Man in 2003, was as much a landmark release for techno as the whole Aktion Mekanik compilation was for EBM as a genre. "As an artist who's been pushing EBM sounds into the modernity of Techno it was a logical step to do the compilation back then," Terence says. "I wanted to show my influences as a Techno artist, as Detroit sounds weren't my roots at all, but classics by Front 242, Fad Gadget, Nitzer Ebb, Crash Course In Science or Snowy Red.

I met Music Man's Stefaan Vandenberghe through Emmanuel Top in '93, and of course I was a fan of his label. Music Man was obviously the perfect place for this EBM project: they are from Belgium, they knew the bands, many of them were proud of this sound. So I discussed my idea of putting out a compilation with some classic and landmark tracks from the EBM direction with Stefaan, and it got made."

While Ostgut Ton now releases three new versions of "Aktion Mekanik Theme" by Kobosil, Norman Nodge & Marcel Dettmann, Music Man now reissues the original version on red 12" vinyl.

LIMITED 10 x 12" box set. Red vinyl. Devilish red is the perfect colour for the royal last chapter of the "The Sound Of Belgium" compilation series.

* Throughout the 90's, DJ Bone was one of Detroit's best kept secrets. Releasing only a handful of 12 inches, Bone's eclectic and fast mixing style became popular in his home town, starting with his weekly residency at The Love Club, and gaining more all over Detroit 5 nights a week, as well as fortnightly live sets on Deep Space Radio.* In 1996, Laurent Garnier witnessed him DJing, and invited him to play in Paris' legendary Rex Club - a 12" for Juan Atkins' Metroplex soon followed, with a Peel Session, and his 'Subject:Detroit Volume 2' mix CD being distributed worldwide helping to establish him globally as a force in Detroit techno.* Anotherday are very proud to announce the reissue of that legendary Metroplex 12"; 'Riding The Thin Line'. From the sweeping strings and tribal loops of 'Shut The Lites Off', to the hissing bassy electro of 'The Funk' and woozy techno of 'The Haunting', this is DJ Bone at the peak of his powers.

FJAAK relaunch their label with their remix and remaster of Missing Channel's Onslaught (Robert Hood & Claude Young).

Italy's Donato Dozzy constructs nearly an hour of dense ambient fog & early morning techno for his mesmeric debut album 'K'. Initially only available as a limited edition cassette tape - that completely vanished within 48 hours of release - all 9 tracks are finally available on this luxury 2x12" vinyl package with professionally printed full colour silk screen artwork on a heavy stock chipboard jacket.

'Macht Macht Zement'—what does it mean 80s drums, synths and vocals, almost without context. Fallbeil, two soon-to-be men (aka boys), finish tracks at the rate of butchers kneading meatballs. Due to laziness and a lack of technique, everything gets recorded on one track and immediately thrown into the frier. Nothing is planned. First up, school detention followed by rough LoFi rap.The album contains a wide variety of themes, from mailmen to warthogs, from latecomers to sensible conversation, every track is created out of spontaneity. Two very short tracks on this album date back to 1999, when the boys performed as 'Funky Granatos' in the local youth centers. Sadly, their performances weren't successful. Nobody wanted to listen to them and almost every concert ended in mass brawls. The track 'Postman' comes from the duo's side project Grand Malheur and was recorded in 2015 in Bronxfeld. More output from this project will appear on various EPs in the near future. The album title 'Macht Macht Zement' originates from Tom Pötgen. Tom always wanted to throw the sacred hand grenades. We hope he does that right now!
