Classify under: ''confrontational presence'' and ''downright alien''. Limited black vinyl edition of 300 copies.

This time around RONIN has been given the job to tear your dance floors apart.After decapitating the last of the warlords and relaxing with a nice cup of tea, the Ronin laid low is sword and focused on mastering his sonic weaponry. Sparing no one, and showing no merci or remorse, he has pursued his mission to combine the most powerful elements of electronic dance music into a unique tune: 'Undercover Fandango'. This A side is an abrasive and fast-paced exotic blend of rumba-calypso shaken up with hard drum & bass flavours. This 180 BPM dance-floor killer can happily be mixed with Drum & Bass, Hard Techno or Breakcore.

New release by Datassette! Proper contemporary electro tracks with a bit of that early nineties emotional yet funky Rephlex/electronica feel. One of the hottest releases of the already hot Shipwrec catalogue so far... With free download including a bonus track and a remix by Ilkae which are only included here. Tip!

on 7" blue vinyl !!

Five excellent cuts by Arcanoid, who has already shown us how talented he is when it comes to producing advanced electro/techno on his previous releases on Semantica and Transhuman. TIP!

Between Berlin and Vienna, Giallo Disco Records is a new label dedicated to the sub-sub-genre of Horror Disco. Gianni Vercetti's macabre soundtracks are presented with lashings of VHS grain. 'L'Incubo Senza Fine' is dripping with tension, a relentless kick drum thud like the march of the undead themselves. Legowelt's remix only adds to this, calling on the sound of his most recent collection 'The Teac Life'. Antoni Maiovvi's Rituals Of Lust is a 98bpm dark EBM/New Beat-esque stomper. Retro-space age futurism, battleships preparing for war near the moons of Jupiter. Themroc(k)'s would perhaps be the perfect music for a malfunctioning T-800, demented vocals a-go-go. Dark brooding action soundtracks for a bleak tomorrow. Presented on 12inch. Limited to 200 copies.

And so the final piece of the Drums Of Death Waves Trilogy EP's snaps into place, DoD caps his latest run of releases with 4 tracks of varied, taut, emboldened dance floor rhythms.Tolidify his new role as purveyor of heavy, club-focused music for the UK's furtive underbelly, 'Blue Waves' sees Drums Of Death explore tough-built, kineticism on opener 'Life In The Machine', where classic electro rhythms oscillate around punchy, razored synth lines, before a masterclass in tension is played out across that breakdown. 'Let No Shadow Fall Upon You' reaches for the euphoria and is set for large scale rotation across this summer's sweat-filled dance tents, with a chest-rattling bass line littered with chopped piano, early 90's vocals and all round rave dramatics.'Transistor Rhythm' sees Drums of Death enforce his knowledge of the UK's new school house scene, as a subdued melody winds it's way into the brain with ascending melodics and stepping kick that creates a dystopian ear worm that you'll be hard fought to shake off. Final track 'Waves City' closes the Trilogy with images of hope and warmth from within a retro-futurist climate, as layered melodies and winding keys break loose from an epic bass drop that recalls Rolando's classic 'Knights Of The Jaguar' with a 21st Century twist. Receiving huge support in the clubs and on the radio from across the electronic music spectrum as Sinden, Skream, Tiga, Laurent Garnier and Claude VonStroke continue to reach for the Waves.Skream Fucking love the EP!!! Benga: Drums of Death is on Fire right now! Annie Mac: Pure, classic dance music DJ Magazine Release Of The Monthhave you seen the new live show

Being in the same gene pool as Pat Sharpe's hair is enough of a stigma to steer any young DJ's career off course- deep in the discos of pop trash. Fortunately for Metaphi/Metske , although still benefitting from the same glossy 90's locks as the radio-jock/distant uncle, musical inspiration came from more complex climates. Wigflex006 acts as a fine electronic switchboard to Metaphi's archive of talents, a complicated circuit board of the experimental ranging from hip hop, IDM, and garage to blues harmonicas and classical rifts, seamlessly melted into one gloop of green circuitry where each musical discipline must co-exist with another. As Metske the bpm's hover around 95, the framework is hip-hop, the sound often Skwee but the influences thereafter are endless, Slow Train Blues clicks its way through a steam train intro before marring the lines between electronic music and the blues with a self-composed harmonica rift worthy of Howlin' Wolf. At the same tempo Spin States delves into the cosmic with pipey neon chords and bit-crunched bass: Sega Mega Drive boss level business. Metaphi's taste for big room techno is blatant and genetically Wigflex over Sharpflex, and in terms of nationality it's mongrel, half Notts, half Eastern Europe. With Concious Mentis he's keeping things minimal but charged from lower frequencies and Messmode progresses with some serious dancefloor swagger.

VOLFE is full of warped and pulsing pan-global club music; a signature marriage of tropical riddims, dubbed out soundscapes, and modern R&B minimalism. Striking the perfect balance of booming bass and tricky rhythms, our first taste from the upcoming EP "Gore Text" makes for some serious sideways heat.

We have something very special planned for release number 18 on Wolfskuil Ltd. Not only is Ian O'Donovan presenting his new alter ego Chromezone to the masses and has Dexter backing him up, but this is the first 100% pure, electro release on the label.A joyous occasion, marking another chapter in Wolfskuil history. Sure we have released the odd electro track in the past, but we haven't released a dedicated record till today. Ian delivers two originals, wich sound like he has been making electro his whole life. Atlantis combines lush washes of emotive strings, we have come to know and love him for, with staccato basslines and robotic rhythms. Colonial Outpost follows that line, but is far more dark and irie. The outpost must be at the final frontier in space by the sound of it.

clear stamped limited vinyl - be fast to get your copies !!!

special "vinyl only" - release from the mainrecords lab.
4 melodic tracks with the typical mainrecords flavour.

Kamoefleer Wapen EP. (Camouflage Weapon) brings together Vidrio (Alex Lugo) one half of Detroit's most mysterious groups Ultradyne (Pi Gao Movement) and Miami's Gosub (Shad T. Scott) (Abstract Forms/Frustrated Funk) for a very limited release of 300 hand numbered units on special mix colored vinyl. On the a-side Vidrio provides a vocal version of 'Excelsior' with his trademark dark & tough sounds and a very addictive male/female vocals. For the b-side Gosub provides us with 'I Know You Know' a laid-back track with his trademark low-slung baselines, smooth pads, and eerie male/female vocals. This release is not for the faint at heart and not one to miss.

Shadow Dancer is coming back with their 6th release for Boysnoize Records. Paul and Al Farrier could be considered BNR veterans. With their consistently quality tracks and electryfying live and dj performances they have established themselves as one of top electronic artists around.

Ushering in a new era for Tiga's Turbo Recordings, New Jack Techno showcases the label's next generation of producers, signalling a bold new direction for the influential Canadian imprint. This 12" sampler includes three highlights from the compilation, offering a preview of what looks like a massive year for the veteran label.

RISTIAN VOGEL (tresor/nu future...) returns with his 14th studio album THE INERTIALS in june on Berlins Shitkatapult Label. Simultanously Shitkatapult releases a 12' vinyl featuring two club tracks (ENTER THE TUB, LUCKY CONNOR) from the album plus 2 unreleased bonus tracks (DECONSTRUCTIONS, VOIDSTER) to feed and please and beware the club tradition of this outstanding producer. As usual Vogel delivers high end sound and productions of great efficiency, dark poems from the high end. Besides the usual actual and hyped stuff these tracks re-new Cristian Vogel´s art of noize and beat. Cold beauty of clear music.

Nerd alert! Creme thought they'd start the new year on an upbeat note with this brand new moody acidic minimal wave (with distant Detroit techno echo's) EP by Jagdstaffel 66 (Rude 66) based around the controversial Lockheed F-104 Starfighter Jet.limited clear vinyl pressing.

Norfolk retro-futurist Nathan Fake returns with brand new single 'Iceni Strings', a typically bold reframing of
the Zeitgeist, where burbling organic synths meet a deliciously crunchy techno rattle in one glorious, exuberant
pre-apocalyptic braindance.

finally repressed

Our first release of 2012 has Seattle veteran 214 merging his classic electro style with current UK bass flavours to create a tantalising 4 track ep to wreck dancefloors and is already receiving support from Boddika, Girl Unit, Addison Groove, Bok Bok , Braiden, Dexter, Patrick Pulsinger, Speedy J and Appleblim.

A very juicy 12"... the now out of print Actress remix finds it's way onto vinyl again (yey, it's so good!) and an unreleased Convextion re-slap of Terrence Dixon is dug out from the vault...mad drama style...TIP!

A Made Up Sound aka 2562 and Dexter deliver two remixes for Arttu (ft Jerry the Cat). Nuclear Funk and Get Up Off It get transformed from raw chicago influenced cuts into darker electro/techno hybrids by these two dutch techno wizzards. Both known for their sharp productions that cross over between techno, electro and bass music they have a fresh take on the original versions. By the choice of remixers we didnt expect the standard house remixes, something more challenging would fit the spirit of the originals. This rmx 12'' might be is somewhat of a dark horse in the house orientated Clone Royal Oak catalogue, but expectations are to there be messed up. Tip!
early feedback:
Renaissance Man: 10 Points! Great release. Specially the Made Up Sound Remix is a masterpiece.
Steffi: Dexter remix is spot on and a true banger!
Blawan: Both amazing ! Dexter's version is exactly what i wanted to hearthough ! Full support
Boddika: Love em both, sick shit.
Joy Orbison: Big!!
Marcus Intalex: both tracks are ace... big uppppppp

Generously full of 4 tunes this EP brings a smart electro techno sound, nice little melodies, and cool evolution.

UK breakbeat legend Clatterbox returns to TRUST with two killer hard-hitting electro tracks. The remixes are a real treat as well, coming from the elusive Creepy Autograph - for those who know - with a 6min electro-step-tech monster and Pomelo Records main man, Dan Lodig, recording under his Lok44 guise.

The third installment in the Cobblestone Jazz 12 series brings two more tracks. On the A side we find 'Who's Future". Full of bubbling elastic bass and deep chord swells, it's a laidback affair with a snappy groove to push it along. On the flip is 'Across the Nation", a stripped out and up-tempo electro jam with crisp breaks and gated pads. All the elements mingle together to create a thick bed of future funk. Another wheel for your wagon.

A concept taken from an old book of Charles Darwin, where he theorized the existence of a brain in plant roots, in order to feature a stylistic evolution from Ambient to Techno.A free way of thinking without schemes, as we move into territory that we love, in the boundless fields of electronic music. Vinyls are limited and numbered with stencil artwork printed on the cover made to create a unique piece of each copy.

Electro Techno Killer, pressed and mastered at Magnetic, a new independent south-france pressing plant. Super electro Techno, powerfull discocore sound, full of DJ tricks and bringing an easy dancefloor feeling. Super. This is a DEA Project.

A split Ep made up from the two electro projects of Irish producer Matthew Flanagan. The DeFeKT side of the Ep contains 2 tracks 'Dimension Glider' and 'CV1' both tracks offer dark si-fi feel with modular synth Seqs and depth.The ESS(electronic speech systems) side has 3 tracks of different electro styles and hints at the DeFeKT project. The 3 tracks 'Coment ELEnin, Substance D and Thermo drive' are all a little deeper with melodic pads and jams that keep the analog synth feel.

Nearly three years after DJ Hell's accomplished double-album Teufelswerk - The Guardian called it "one of the most ambitious and compelling dance albums of all time" and Resident Advisor a "towering, once-in-a-career work" - he returns with House Remixes Part 2.
As Hell's original Teufelswerk was already a collaborative affair, inviting the likes of Bryan Ferry, Peter Kruder, Christian Prommer and &ME into the studio, it's only natural that he would extend the invitation to some of his other favorite producers to rework these contemporary classics. Now, following the first part of House Remixes released late last year, the fire continues spreading, beyond the ninth circle...

The first Erik Travis release on F.A.C.T. Records since 2003.

2x12" in White Vinyl! Girl Unit returns with a double EP of his most advanced material yet. In true NS style we present 6 brand new transcendental club tracks from the super-hot producer. Vinyl edition on 2 x white 12".
The Club Rez EP consists of two halves. The first is informed by lead cut "ENSEMBLE" - a mechanised Freestyle party track / robotic beach jam comprised of machine drums, Pulse bass and glossy John "Jellybean" Benitez-inspired breakdowns. The balance between pop sensibility and dancefloor bomb here is unparalleled.
"CAKE BOSS" is a bull-headed tantrum in the club. A relentless blunt stabbing lead delivers punishment as rimshots clatter and toms jack around the 4x4 kick, the whole thing saturated in tape FX.
A subway ride downtown leads to the "PLAZA", another Freestyle-influenced cut, sort of a trackier, loop-driven cousin of "Ensemble". Pro-1 horns and arping bass trade places with stripped back segments of rubbery, efficient drum funk.
The tone for the EP's second half is set on with "DOUBLE TAKE", a cantankerous track that takes some drum programming cues from the Bay Area. As the hydraulics of the intro give way to the drop, the track is engulfed in gloopy bass hits and bubbling oily globules of leads to devastating effect. At the end the track segues into what GIrl Unit describes as a preview of "Double Take 2", fading out on an unexpected sublime moment.
"REZDAY" (or Rezzurection Day), a relative of the EP's title track, is a sports action movie theme, built and reinforced for conflict. Colossal synth horns and layers of guitar synths are driven forward by extreme metal-style pedal kicks as pterodactyls scream and fireworks fizz overhead.
Finally, "CLUB REZ". The crisp digital environment is quickly filled with searing beams of trance synths, growing to an overwhelming size before dropping out to a huge 808 kick pounding the track rhythmically (hence the 'Club' in the title). "Club Rez" echoes Girl Unit's previous work, but it's executed with such light-touch restraint, the results are truly euphoric.

Audiotrix keeps on digging for a newskool Techno, electro, thick and groovy. The wake of the beast !

Rocknroll electro techno feeling on the A-side... While B-side makes it Rave dubstep...

Bam ! Phonon 06 is out ! Bassline electro techno. Dancefloor. A shakler, a booster a master-piece !

Versatile Lakaband is back, this time for a symbiotic EP with Automatic Tasty. The Automatic Tasty's anemone mix is a spirited and vigorous take on the acidulated languor of the original "Clownfish", Lakaband's smooth track, and the bouncy effervescence of the Irish mogul's "Morning Again" meets the casual nonchalance of Lakaband's track "Protandry".
With all tracks having been under the well advised mastering supervision of Alden Tyrell, and coming in a pretty limited number of copies, this release will be a nice addition to your collection.

Astonishing album by Mark du Mosch, who delivers his first full length album on Syncom Data Records and it's quite simply overwhelming. In a true Detroit fashion Mark du Mosch rides that fine line between techno, house and disco.

Tekita's REPRESS ! Real strong stuff. And this one shows it up once again. The 2 kicking tuens are all right, but the Mem Pamal sides really push it harder with a good Banging evolution, a bit like with Dyskinesie 01 tune... TIP ! (Attention ! Repress do not come in its original sleeve)

Dutch millipede Nick Lapien offers a view of one of his intriguing projects, this time as Metropolis.
