Mute are delighted to announce a special collaboration with Raster-Noton: the release of Diamond Version's Technology At The Speed Of Life / Empowering Change the first of a sequence of five 12" EPs throughout 2012, culminating in an album in 2013.
Diamond Version is a collaborative project between two of the most groundbreaking, experimental and forward thinking creators in modern music, Byetone and Alva Noto.As joint heads of the German-based label Raster-Noton, and with solo projects Alva Noto (Carsten Nicolai) and Byetone (Olaf Bender), they have been releasing work that spectacularly blurs the lines between the visceral and the conceptual, bridging the gap between gallery and dancefloor.Opening the EP series is Technology At The Speed Of Life / Empowering Change. The combined effect of these tracks' crisp, synthetic surfaces and the slogans hyperreal imagery is twofold, drawing attention to the sinister utopias the titles suggest, while also hinting at their inherent absurdity.

Diametric. is pleased to announce the return of Morphology with a release of four new deep electro/techno tracks. Being praised as one of the finest electro acts in recent years, this new 12' showcases why this praise is so well deserved by the Finnish duo. Michael Diekmann and Matti Turunen deliver their mix of superb machine funk electro beats and melancholic deep synth work in perfection here. B1 track 'herschel crater' will cause some serious frenzy on the dancefloor with its straightforward beats and dark sequence that respectfully nods towards the sound of Drexciya. Don't sleep on this one, it will go through the roof.
300 handnumbered limited vinyl copies only. No digital distribution.

After Superfort already presented himself on BigM Productions
with digital releases this year, it's time now to leave his
real floor monsters out of the cage with this huge 12" wax EP straight for the floor. Four action loaded, skills proving
tunes in a Breakbeat-Ghettofunk-Bigbeat manner rock your ass off! Superfort, the insider tip of the year.

Trevino aka Marcus Intalex has been wowing all and sundry with his tight Detroit / Chicago / whoknoswhere take on UK Bass music. His early tracks like 'Chip' on Martyns 3024 and 'Derelict' on Naked Lunch, showed tough, melodic, techno and electro were back on the menu, but filtered thru the mind and ears of a man who was been releasing fresh UK music since 1994.Appleblim was amongst the first to hear and start playing Trevino's new cuts, and has seen him go from strength to strength. Trevino is one of those producers who's tracks people are constantly running up to the booth, freaking out about and enquiring about, and that is a sure fire indication of big tunes!
So naturally when Trevino said he'd be happy to put some tracks out on Pips, Appleblim was buzzing...'Indulge' has been a mainstay of his sets and shows Marcus's versatility...gentle undulating melodic stabs seem to weave together for an age before hydraulic bursts of wavejumper bass start to fill the gaps. When a tough electro style stepping rhythm comes in, the dancefloor is ready for heads down skanking!
On the flip is an almost lost classic, 'Under Surveillance', many of the DJs who have been dropping this for a while are pleased to see it come out, its dystopian sci-fi stepping rhythm combining with claustrophobic synths spraying all over the gaff! Proper head nod biz, which hints at the feelings induced at the early DMZ parties...all in all a tasty package.
early DJ / Radio Support already from:
Martyn, Loefah, 2562, Scuba, Mary Anne Hobbs, Oneman, Rob Booth, Rob Da Bank, Ben UFO, Pearson Sound, Axel Boman, Distal, Objekt, Synkro

After the amazing View From Above EP on Frantic Flowers we simply couldn't resist to do another project with this guy. Detroit legend Terrence Dixon, the mastermind behind Population One, is a genius in the field of minimalism and reduction. As a truly unique character from the early Detroit techno era, always being true to his own style, this EP brings 4 new cuts in his typical and recognizable sound. Minimalistic monotone rhythms and weird loop constructions, always with the right tension in place, sometimes topped off with spoken words. On the title track 'I Program My Computer Right', a weird guitar loaded affair, Terrence Dixon is accompanied by Ulandra & Tiaria, supplying the vocals. Again a very collectible release on Frustrated Funk's Harbour City Sorrow!

After the Dexter and Erik Travis releases its funkateer mr Blount getting freaky on his 2nd release! Hailing from New Zealand Reggie Blount made his debut 1.5 year ago on Clone Crown ltd. His Hard Times debut ep sold out straight away and got loads of fine feedback from the heads out there. This second ep starts with more crazy funky vocal p-funk tracks Flip side starts with the incredible track ''Hey''. One of those tracks that is able to give you goose bumps and grow on you to become one of those ''our tunes'' kinda tracks you share with that special person. Ep is finnishing of with the beautiful wave electro funk kinda thing called Racecar! As if Garry Numan is doing some p-funk. Recommended!

Mixed CD f/mostly exclusive tracks & remixes by & for Monotone label boss. Old school, new school electro sounds with banging 808 and 909 drums. F/Debonaire, Cha-os, Boris Divider, more.

From pumpin efficient and clubby Electro techno to acid techno. A superb realese confirming the high level of this label after their last year successfull first realese !

Our much lauded D.I.M. has vanished into thin air for a while only to get back with some hotter stuff incl. 4 new tracks. 'GO!' opens this EP with a seductive imperative in form of a bouncing bassline and some high-pitched frequency in remembrance of Sydney's traffic lights.'Mariachi' the 2nd track is all about the typical elements and sounds which makes D.I.M. so damn well known for. On the flip 'Dragon' follows as an dubbier, harder edged, straight-up house track with an undeniable old-skool vibe. A howling warm synth which can't decide if it's acid or not and a grooving rhythm - With just one listen you'll be hooked! 'Eternal' the last track of the Vinyl EP is the perfect tune for the late-night dancefloor; vibey, full of emotions and impressively deep. Again, a superb production with a revealing side of D.I.M. no one would expect. Coming as a Digital Bonus Track 'Loaded' completes the EP and is a worthy addition to the D.I.M. track repertoire.

In Hades no one can hear you scream. Vast armies of centurions fight for acid dominion. Marching music fills the air, music for the brave. Sheets of chemical rain stain the night sky orange and red. Cerberus belches out of the night like a shotgun blast to the face. This slavering three headed beast with coal black eyes patrols the banks of the river Styx, the river of lost souls. It's hot sulphurous breath and steaming piles of iridescent dung fill the air with the stench of the damned, as the wretched hoards moan by wrapped in the rivers currents. In the background are lakes of burning fire. Skeletal battalions raid moss covered temples where the sweet smell of incense mingles with fresh blood. Somewhere in the forest a ritual begins, the hypnotic melodies of Pan like a soothing balm. For tonight wine must be spilt as well as blood.
DJ support from Objekt, Truss, Pangaea, Perc, Rob Booth, Serge Clone, Kriz (Token Recs), Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, ND Baumecker &Tiga

murder package for the new amazing tocadisco track !!!! some labels would be proud if they have these names on 10 releases - superstar has them on one - amazing !!!!

Apartment's 3rd release comes courtesy of acclaimed producer Lerosa. For this, his first release of 2012, he delivers 4 electro-based cuts, a rarely seen side to the man predominantly known for his house productions.
The sparse and melancholic 'Combat' starts off proceedings, before 'Titanium''s throbbing bass, combined with Mr. Rosa's unique melodic sensibilities, increases the pace. On the B-side 'Slavery' is a furious acid jam, constantly rising in energy over hectic percussion and a wall-shaking electro beat. Finishing on 'Decisions', the pace is reduced considerably while the acid stays intact, delivering the 12 inch's only 4/4 kick for what is Lerosa's most euphoric cut to date.

After three Creepy Autograph releases in 2008, Valentine Connexion returns with a five track EP from the little known artist The Abstract Eye. Five brilliant, analog techno tracks, which keep the spirit of original Detroit techno alive. It really leaves us breathless. Beautiful stuff! For fans of Dopplereffekt, Drexciya et al.

4 Trackers Not 4 Kids Killa Bombs
- There are 2 types of EDM producers.
The ones who aren't instrumentalists in the first place, and the ones who are.
Bone Machine is definitely of the 2nd kind and you can feel it in his tracks:
A totally different level of grooviness,
way more hypnotic than your average electrohouse track.
Danzere is one of his finest works : Progressive structure,
mesmerizing bassline, cutting-edge synths.
-When trying to answer to the question "What comes after dubstep"
Some answer stupid stuff such as "progressive trance will come back"
and some bet on a better horse.
Pzyon definitely invests in the future with his glitch hop track Tomorrowland :
Organic basses, solid drums exploding on impact, and oldschool vocal loops.
-Is it possible to get a coherent result when you use 5 different synths,
each with a dozen of articulations,
and some filtered 70s disco samples on top of it well, apparently.
Troublegum's Too Many Parameters (hence the name)
layers strong pumpy subs with screaming
and growling basses but doesn't forget funkyness.
-filthy hybridation of dubstep and gabber (!!!) memories of rotterdam wakes up the robotic raver
inside you with its ternary rythm, hardcore kicks and aggressive synths.
having ingested all these energy drinks of various fluorescent colors was indeed a good idea.

New material from LA'sGifted & Blessed, this time dropping on the UK's Eglo Records under his The Abstract Eye guise.


A man of many names, the ever illusive musician/producer/dj/director can credit the likes of Flora Purim, Airto Moreira, Sa Ra Creative Partners, Steve Spacek, King Britt and Baatin among his collaborators.

Ladies and Gentleman: Der Dritte Raum is back - and this time, it's not only with new sounds in well-known Krüger style, but also with a new label platform: Der Dritte Raum Records! Fresh and dreamy, that's the sound of the first release, with four tracks full of groove, warmth and the distinctive Der Dritte Raum-funk on board. On all tracks of this release Andreas Krüger proves he has a firm hold on his analogue machinery - as always - but also shows his connection to contemporary machine music as well as Krautrock and psychedelic sounds. Inspired by his band project Von Trips, numerous analogue recordings entered the new material. We're ready to take on summer with this first release on our new label: warm layers and playful details skillfully surround the swinging grooves - you can almost feel the soft breeze of a beautiful summer night touch your skin. Just wonderful...

DEADMAU5... YOU HEARD OF HIM

From his earliest demos to his current position as a key figure in the global techno scene, Perc (aka Ali Wells) has taken the established forms of the music he loves and twisted them into something new and fresh.

Building up successful relationships with scene-leading labels such as Drumcode, Ovum, Kompakt and CLR whilst unleashing a strong run of releases on his own Perc Trax label has seen Perc's influence and support grow even further. With each release his sonic experimentation has taken another leap forward without losing sight of the dance floor.

Hot release by Neil Landstrumm & Mat Consume, who did a first Shit & Cheap release on Scandinavia in 2001, and 2012 seems a good year to tear it down with a totally unexpected raw & raving electro banger for the Dutch Shipwrec label. Inspired by 60s surf & garage and later punk & wave, the drum machines are set to give us the essential kicks, claps and hihats we need for that oldschool electro vibe. This release comes in a sick designed three colour silkscreen printed sleeve, limited to 300 copies including a download code.

And we still release in these low Summer times with our next French artist Nicolas Cuer !
He delivers three very nice and bright Techno tracks with light Summer melodies and to make you smile Three tracks inspired by the infamous Club Villa Rouge in the south of France.
He already has come a long interesting way in his young life and has released on labels like Umek's 1605, Space Records, Impulsif Records, played hundreds of gigs and festivals and has his own residency on the underground Radio Electro Sound.

Five tracks of neck-breaking breaks, a shout-out to the masters. Mixed by big bass master ALEX GOPHER. DJ MEHDI has been foraying into all things black music since 1995.

The German producer embodies the label's signature aesthetic of operating in the space between styles, cross breeding funky Dubstep with the crunk bass of Southern Hip Hop. The 'Electrophilic EP' contains four head knockin' productions by Doshy, remixes by Coco Bryce and Monky, and a VIP remix by legendary tuntablist D-Styles.

Blackest Ever Black is releasing the first ever vinyl edition of Gareth Williams and Mary Currie's Flaming Tunes.
This remarkable album was recorded at DDM and Cold Storage in London after Williams had left This Heat and returned from the
first of several trips to India. It was officially released on cassette in 1985, before being bootlegged on CD more than a decade later.
The bootleg in question, the Japan-issued After The Heat, described the Flaming Tunes pieces as "This Heat's final demo
recordings", much to Gareth's understandable dismay - after all, the album marked a conscious attempt to create a music
with a different mood and texture to that of This Heat, one which would allow the full expression of his eclectic
and distinctive tastes.

Jack Playmobil operates from the mystic gravel pit of Antwerp, Belgium. Hungry Soul has obtained superpowers by fighting in the graveyard of life. He doesn't need wings to fly. His hands are dirty with electric mud. He has created a mold of dizzying electronic proportions, a nightmarish virtual reality dream state where sparkling energy collides with a total absence of time. Psychedelic electronic patterns drenched in futuristic haze. Imagine robotic ghouls malfunctioning in the snow. Hungry Soul creates dense eerie moodscapes rich with complexity and cosmic inspiration. His vision is blurry. His ways are everchanging, evolving and romancing the shadows of the night. Crafted with secure and utmost precision. Time to nurture your own hungry soul and create a delightful midnight carnival. Throw your double cups in the air and rejoice. Classify under : ''wild prestige'' and ''increasing 3D awareness''. Limited black vinyl edition of 300 copies. Packaged in beautiful handsilkscreened cardboard covers with artwork by Pointdextr.

Ikonika returns with the 'I Make Lists EP', the first full extended release since her 2010 debut album 'Contact, Love, Want, Have' (Hyperdub). Hum + Buzz present 6 incendiary club ready tracks, her most accomplished and anticipated work to date. Taking a dark approach with 'I Make Lists' and 'Cold Soaking', these dubplate anthems have been the highlight of recent Ikonika sets. They both fuse paranoid, intense and ominous basslines with sinister and eerie lead synths. 'Take Pictures' melds a languid drum machine strut with reflective but focused melodies. The playful side of Ikonika is present in the Latino Freestyle influenced track 'Catch Vibes' and 'With Your Mouth', a stripped backed procession. These two tracks employ driving drums, acidic basslines and mischievous melodies. Bringing us to the finale is the majestic 'PR812'. Referencing the hijacking of a passenger flight in 2000, Ikonika crafts an emotive dance floor anthem with centre stage given to her original approach to melody and arrangement. Support from Mary Anne Hobbs, Jackmaster, Bok Bok, GIRL UNIT, and Eclair Fifi among others.

Powell returns to Diagonal to present five new rhythm tracks that reaffirm the label's preoccupation with jagged No Wave and
forward motion, contemporary electronics. Shards of analogue noise splinter around the fractured movements of the broken
drum-work, evoking the off-kilter jams of Blurt and 23 Skidoo as much as the linear surge of cold, hard EBM.

Must have for fans of Surgeon, Regis and the Birmingham Techno sound. Comes in full printed sleeve.
A new series by Transhuman Records. Thematic: a manual of domination. Arcanoid melts again breaks, gears and epic melodies, creating a new substance, being himself the only owner of its formula. Two tracks of The TransHumans. Hypnotic and intense techno. Energy and rawness in Birmingham's way. Experimental noisy ambient finish this release. Industry and asphyxiating atmosphere. A cry for help by the oppressed.

Samuel van Dijk (Mohlao, Multicast Dynamics) introduces his new project VC-118A on Trust. Four tracks of sparse and spacious, yet intricately textured techno and electro that are both a departure and a continuation of his acclaimed and much sought after productions for Meanwhile and Field Records, as well as his recent collaboration album with Delta Funktionen as Inward Content.

next smasher with the melody from the endtitel of the fightclub movie...incl. Malente Remix... played by Diplo, Yuksek, Rex the Dog, and many more !!!

repress soon, be fast to secure your copies!

Pineal activation. IMAX phantasy. Drippy acid ecosystems. HD....everything. All contribute to the sentient environment that is Exo, Gatekeeper's debut LP dropping on LA-based label Hippos In Tanks. Demented and celebratory, sinister but pure-hearted, Exo is a cerebral spectacle, a gapless playback rush of digitally-enhanced stimulation.

Razor sharp futuristic textures from the Bristol based producer, dropping one of his deadliest EPs to date. Stratagalastico is an absolute bomb of machine-made dynamite, dark and deadly for those who like to lurk in the shadows. Creepy shenanigans are most certainly the order of the day, but with that said, Marco ends the EP with a deep, melodic piece titled 'Bugs In The Virus', a transcendent composition that enriches the Stratagalastico experience and completes the package. Killer

Just three months after the dropping of the 100% analog tracks ROLAND RAT / BRAIN STORM (BNR075) we proudly presents two idiosyncratically interpretations by 2 legends in electronic music - 'ROLAND RAT' got reworked by techno pioneer and our hero LFO (Warp Records), who sampled the rat and moduled it to death :) The second Remix comes from 'the baron of techno' DAVE CLARKE together with MR JONES, who turned 'BRAIN STORM' into a straight and dark pumpin' monster. Enjoy! ROLAND RAT / BRAIN STORM REMIXES OUT ON BOYSNOIZE RECORDS | JULY, 9th 2012 ON VINYL

Everybody better bring some towels, because Housemeister is about to soak the world in electro champagne. Presenting his third full length music, the dirty don of club music did it again. Touching ravers hearts and hitting ravers right on their heads at the same time. In arts, good ideas are hard to have, but easy to get - masterful musical output is pretty hard to create, but once it's done, it's about pure listening pleasure. And with a thousand shitty drugs flooding the streets of music today, it isn't everyday you get to consume the 100% stuff. 'Music Is Awesome' is that shit that's straight from the kitchen, and Housemeister has produced this bitch to the point like a 5 star chef. It seems playing clubs and crowds all over the world do add to a player's game. Add class and confidence. Add experience and excellence, add balls as well as balance, and maybe it just takes 15 years of hardcore DJdom to be able to come out and kill like this. MUSIC IS AWESOME! Could any phrase be more simple and true Could any DJ come up with a better beatdown of arty-farty music chit chat, nipping critics in the bud just like that! And how could someone who's played a million records maintain such compass and focus The answer isn't made of words, of course. The answer is alive whenever awesome music is playing and nobody listening gives two shits about anything else in the world. When the moment is made of music, that's when Housemeister is happy. That's what dance music is for. That's what makes you dance in the first place. And that's what Housemeister put on this record. The unique studio-zoo of tools and toys he's using, the refreshing hands-on, open-mind approach of production, the iconic brand he's built, the picture disc vinyl release of this Boysnoize Records highlight with 7 tracks on each side made now for collectors not for djs anymore, the fact he's shooting a video for every single song - all kick ass Housemeister´s quality specials. But they're chilling in the sh

HOUSEMEISTER is back with his big new single "Weird Friends"! With US-indie-rapper P.O.S spittin' the truth on the mic and HOUSI's signature heavy beats, this one is a no brainer.

limited to only 300 copies !!! Oliver Rosemann serves a great debut for the Leipzig based Monomental Crew. After a release on Miditonal Records Number 7 Oliver shows his excellent skills on classical no future sound for friends of Neil Landstrumm or Tobias Schmidt. The A-Side is more electro influenced while B-Side is 110% pure Techno pleasure !!

Abstract modern electronica by Heinrich Mueller. First new material for the Der Zyklus project since 2008.

coloured vinyl pressing John von Neumann's Universal Constructor is a self-replicating machine in a cellular automata (CA) environment. It was designed in the 1940s, without the use of a computer. The fundamental details of the machine were published in von Neumann's book Theory of Self-Reproducing Automata, completed in 1966 by Arthur W. Burks after von Neumann's death.

More dark and menacing techno/electro stuff from the Netherlands, eerie hard-pounding industrial machine music, 'brain carpaccio' guaranteed, on limited blue vinyl!

Hollands FAH aka Robin de Bekker enters the scene with this heavy, braindance inspired five tracker. Opener 'Fine Space' is spooky and upbeat with false melodies fighting the tracks ground level acid bubbles. 'Bonus Orbits' starts off as a fast electronic harpsichord cut for a smart dance floor before turning into a hectic swamp of challenging harmonies. 'Sixears' is a shorter track holding the middle ground between a moody Elecktroids tune and hectic, Vibert-like acid. The EPs title track and centerpiece then, is characterized by rewinds, whistles, haunting melodies and a total lack of repetition; its a 9 minute long excursion into the most unreal part of Bekkers mind. FAH finally says goodbye with an eerie cut that sounds like a humming predator with no food to eat. FAHs first one for 030303 comes with appropriate, occultist artwork.

Meet Antwerp's ultimate Soda King aka Redray. After many years of isolation Redray has mastered his craft and learned to create believable demonic black eyes without Photoshop. Do not make eye contact for he orchestrates his moves with depraved sonic tendencies. He sees right through your soul. Xrays remove electrons from atoms and ions but only very hard x-rays can penetrate molecular clouds. The whole shock'n'awe type of thing, born bad, dripping goo and straight up evil. Think about a room filled with thick fog, vicious strobe lights and deep bass hits that would probably blow a submarine out of the water. For he is the uncrowned king of his castle and with this stab of purity he is transcending the cycles of life. Are you prepared to drift further into darkness It's splash season! Classify under: ''confrontational presence'' and ''downright alien''. Limited black vinyl edition of 300 copies. Packaged in beautiful hand silkscreened cardboard covers with artwork by Redray himself.

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.

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.

Killer vocal-led Detroit-inspired electro 3-tracker from MioTek on his new Seven Sisters imprint.

Hailing from the small Latvian town of Ogre, where after post Soviet Union regime time, djing traditions became strong very fast. Raised by local dj's on Chicago and Detroit sounds of mid 90's, Miotek been involded in to the electronic music and started to develope his djing and producing skills aswell as promote first illegal raves in town with his crew of like minded people.

There wasn't anything impossible for young boy of 16, full of energy,inspiration and desire to play & make music, everything went forward very quickly: acceptance on Latvian dj scene, uncountable events, club residences and radio shows. After 11 successful years on the local Latvian fields in 2010 he deside to move to the next level and moving to UK where started to work on his record label "Seven sisters records", launched in 2012 with Miotek's debut release "Foreign boy goes electro"

Morphology is back on Semantica with his trademark sound; his moody atmosphere, beautiful melodies and rhythmic beats that we have come to love.

Relentless straight forward old school acid tunes from Dresden, Germany... for those who remember Beverly Hills 808303 or early Acid Planet releases..that type of masculine and tough tracks. Raw, analogue no mercy kind of music! First come first serve!

Uncompromising underground acid tunes going to the raw acid from the early Acid Planet, Bunker days, and having a little touch of sick Gesloten Cirkel productions. A highly limited 200 copies edition release that won't be repressed. First Come first serve!

a few weeks after the " subdoubt ep " and its remute remix, the french label pilbus records has decided to strike hard with this new ep, offering us great tracks by nathan hell, who took part of the label adventure a few months ago.

MASSIVEE EP FROM BAS MOOY INCLUDES A GAYLE SAN & DJ HI SHOCK REMIX PRESSED ON WHITE VINYL.

now repressed !YES YES YES.... No introduction needed for this surprise repress.... Very limited quantities in... Only for the headzzzzz....

After the epic disco rock of Antibodies, here comes Poni Hoax' second extract from their much anticipated new album 'Images Of Sigrid'. Although the original song is already massively anthemic, JOAKIM managed to turn it into a real club monster aimed at destroying any dancefloor. One of his heaviest remixes for sure. On a different tip but still highly danceable, ALTER EGO (who recently released their new album with the hit Why Not~) delivers a mental remix full of freaky vocoders that keeps pushing the pressure on and on for 6 minutes before unleashing the beast. Also a proper dancefloor smasher.
