More wacky electro/booty antics from our favorite Rotterdam garden trousers hooligan crew, This time a 4 track ep with a strong anti drugs message in the tradition of - Crack Killed Applejack-.

On the flip side there is an surprising uptempo techno track by Cosmic Force

Drew Pompa & Pipe Scuttleworth unveil 6 tracks of guitar, rhythmic percussion, drones, synth pads & a host of found sounds into a sonic brocade of melody emitting the shadowy energies of post-punk & dark wave. Pic sleeve.

Xosar established herself with an infectious live show, on display at regular appearances throughout the world, and with releases on labels like Rush Hour, Creme Organization and L.I.E.S.

Xosar's new release for Valcrond Video marks the onset of a darker, more dungeons & dragons oriented point of view. The four tracks feature both propulsive, doom-laden beats and expansive drum-free dream spaces. These sounds, appropriate for perved-out DJs and depressed teens alike, trace a narrative of pursuit, captivity, and erotic exsanguination.

Held in a stone tower, a prisoner's fluids are harvested for carnal application, before he is finally allowed to drain and find release in euphoric fields: bare dead trees, empty veins.

A fine piece of home made dance music.On a rainy late September day in the mid eighties, 7 year old Phillip Lauer didn't know what to expect from that little new born G, who was referred to as his brother Jacob. On the other hand, Baby Jacob wasn't very sure of what to make of this back then still sporty - youngster either, who behaved like his boss. To make a short story long... it took them almost 30 years to finally find out F behind the helm of the infamous Pyramide 2 Studio when conducting this fine piece of home made dance music: the Brudis EP.

Opener 'Mountain Divide' hits the listener with a epic blitzkrieg of bass, juddering noise, and howling, subterranean feedback, cut through with fizzing drums, to tremendous atmospheric effect: "Like screaming into the wind on the top of a mountain" in the words of the boys themselves.



'Mathfall' is a sinuous groover, built around a lolloping bass sequence, grime infused beats, sinister chords and vocal chatter. 'Mon La' rounds out the release in a more introspective mood, heartbreaking pitch bent chords wash together like Boards Of Canada heard through a broken tube-radio.



Their intricate, yet muscular soundscapes and skittering percussion have an epic, alien quality that set them head and shoulders above their less ambitious peers. Having a background in punk, metal and broken beat as well as noise and techno helps give Lakker their truly unique and uncompromising sound.

Currently touring their blistering live /AV set across the planet and hard at work on their debut LP for R&S you'll be hearing a lot more from Lakker very soon.

Presenting the evolution of IN SYNC's undisputed UK techno classic, namely 'Storm'. IN SYNC is of course Lee Purkis, co-founder of the legendary Fat Cat record store in London and a highly-respected figure among the early underground scene. Here, lovingly reinvented by who both In Sync and Last Known Trajectory consider to be some of the finest, and in some instances perhaps most understated artists in the business of true electronic music, LKT proudly presents reinterpretations of this legendary track, alongside new versions of accompanying tracks, 'Warm' and 'Subway Route'. Split over two separately available twelve inch EPs, on this, part two of two, we have stunning reinventions from Terrace (Evo-Lute Muzik) and a bass-rich, subterranean trip-of-a-lifetime from cv313 (echospace (detroit)).

All original recordings written, produced and recorded by In Sync except 'Subway Route' written, produced and recorded by In Sync & Pluto.
All tracks mastered by Stephen Hitchell in e c h o s p a c e (detroit)

With his first two singles for Phantasy, 'Mouth' and 'Giudecca', Ghost Culture emerged from the shadows with a beautifully elusive sound - Winning plaudits from the likes of Pitchfork, The Guardian and more, they marked out London's Ghost Culture as one to watch, a hype most definitely consolidated with new single 'Arms.'

'Arms' is its own breed of electronic songwriting: a low, malevolent thrum emanating from serpentine grooves and whispered vocals, it's a record that moves entirely at its own pace, creating an atmosphere heavy with tension and mystery. The flipside 'Understand' is born from a dusty corner of the nightclub, relentlessly growing in intensity throughout, it surrounds the dancefloor in a beautiful techno sprawl. This single, along with the forthcoming debut album released later this autumn, was co-produced and mixed with Erol Alkan between studios in two quiet corners of the city. Ghost Culture's time is here.

Medical Records is beyond elated to finally present to the world the first official reintroduction and reissue of the iconic IKO "83" LP. This coveted album by minimal synth aficionados around the globe has been out of print and very rare since it's original release in 1982. Hailing from Montreal, Canada, IKO has always been shrouded in mystery. All 3 members come from an academic background (electroacoustic composition, etc), and they met at the University of Montreal in the music department. Taking from their collective influences of 60's pop, prog and minimalist composers as well as early industrial, they played in a few early bands before solidifying the all-synth incarnation of IKO in it's definitive lineup. The LP was originally released on Manhattan Formula. Other than Rational Youth, the Montreal synth scene was small, and the band broke up not too long after it's release. Over the years, it has slowly achieved cult status of the highest order and now fetches inflated collector's prices on the open market. It even prompted an unauthorized bootleg LP a few years ago (of much inferior sound quality). The master for this very special reissue is transferred and EQ'ed from the master analog tapes. The opening track "Approach On Tokyo" sets the mood with it's electro hooks and almost "Trans-Europe Express" synth parts. "Gonadotropic Synthesis" is an amazing slow and beautiful synthy melodic number which blurs the lines between love song and a lecture on hormonal interplay out of a medical textbook". "Digital Delight" is a fast paced dance floor favorite with cyborg lyrics and catchy hooks. The LP contains one never before heard bonus track "Jungle City" which is a bit of a more ominous and dark track as compared to the other album tracks. This LP will appeal to the legions of people who have been patiently waiting for an official reissue as well as the un-initiated fans of classic synth pop, Kraftwerk, early Human League and the like. Features a bonus insert with interview and retrospective by Dave Segal. Additional remastering by Martin Bowes at the Cage, London. Presented on high-quality 180gram heavyweight half and half yellow and black vinyl.

Keluar ist ein Duo mit Sitz in Berlin. Sid Lamar sorgt für die elektronischen Klänge und Zoè Zanias (ehemals Linea Aspera) für Worte und Stimme.

ark Fell and Mat Steel formed SND in Sheffield in 1998. Tplay was their first self-released EP, produced in a
limited run and housed in a sleeve adorned with nothing but a stamped phone number on the back.
SND's palette and minimalist aesthetic more or less fell inline with the emergent school of producers that
would eventually find themselves as labelmates on the Mille Plateaux label and the monolithic Raster Noton
(Ikeda, Pan Sonic, Alva Noto, Bretschneider) - but as opposed to the intricacies and overly-academic
strictures that would occupy so many of their contemporaries over the following decade, in hindsight it's
easy to identify how SND uniquely managed to re-code the swing & shuffle of UK Garage and Two-Step
within a new minimalist paradigm.
Although producers such as G-Man, Sterac, Jeff Mills and Rob Hood had been stripping bare Techno templates
since the early 90's, it wasn't until later in the decade that dots where joined between movements in Techno
and experimental electronic music. This was mostly a serious and contemplative movement - typified by
the fetishisation of abstract forms on the one hand, and rigid, Teutonic movement on the other. But with the release of Tplay SND had created a sound that was unlike anything else made at the time. Although they were guided by minimalist principles, their productions were also driven by the momentum of a much more colourful type of urban music. Simply put - there was no one else bridging gaps between the austere functions of European electronic music and London's emergent two-step sound. Truth is - if you bought Ryoji Ikeda albums you were unlikely to have thought much of Artful Dodger - and yet SND made music that drew influence and parallels from both. Listening over 15 years later, it's startling just how fresh and forward these productions sound, now bolstered by over 30 minutes of previously unheard recordings taken from the same sessions. At a time when some corners of club music are arguably more accepting than ever before of strange and challenging production styles, its incredible just how unique and inimitable SND's sound still is, taking us full circle to current producers like Visionist, Mumdance and Rabit who look to challenge dancefloor conventions by using the same principle of reduction and innovation without neglecting the dance

The on-going celebration of Delsin reaching 100 releases continues here with the 4th in the series of 100DSR releases. Featuring key label friends Redshape, D5 and Area Forty_One, it's another compelling package.
First up is the famous masked one with a track specially made to celebrate the centenary. Fittingly it is entitled '100 (Classic Mix)' and finds him in a doleful mood, layering sad synth motifs of a hubbub of nicely crushed drums and scurrying percussion. Sad but optimistic, uplifting but heavy-hearted, it's a quintessential Redshape track that manages to be industrial and romantic at exactly the same time.

Next up is D5, who has basically only ever released on Delsin since emerging in 2001. It's be a few years since his last EP, but this new track makes the wait worth while: 'Stem Cell' is a light-footed, harmonically enriched bit of house that has large opens spaces glowing golden white as paddy kicks keep busy below. A blissful but purposeful track, the final offering comes from sometime Ann Aimee producer Area Forty_One, who offers the dynamic and juddering bit of deep techno that is 'Supervoid'.

Electro hard techno, from 128 to 138 BPM. When Hardcore goes Hardhouse it leaves some traces !
