Bristol's Ido Plumes debuts for Livity Sound's Reverse series with a stunning three track EP of aquatic textures and UK style grooves.

The 'Away From The Reign' EP is the first glimpse into the sonic world of Ido Plumes, ranging from the nimble dub mechanics of 'Noise Water' to the 2002 schooled Sub-low echoes of 'Which Way is Up'.

Livity Sound is a label set up by Peverelist in 2011 as a vehicle for a raw and exploratory strain of UK techno, rooted in the heritage of UK dance music and sound system culture. It has since become one of the UK's foremost protagonists for cutting edge underground music.

Each vinyl sleeve is individually painted with highly-pigmented acrylic. (Limited edition of 500) 180g Vinyl

n line with its concept of presenting a new generation of artists with distinctive sound identities, the second release on ara will come from Adiel. Following her latest « Cavallina » EP made in collaboration with Donato Dozzy, she returns with « Musicofilia », her first record outside her own label. Due on July 26 2019 on Kangding Ray’s new label, this EP will enthrall listeners with its intricate rhythms and captivating underlying melodies. Adiel delivered tracks which will suit a variety of spatio- temporal dynamics, while still crafted for the club. The repetitive motives are the EP’s core, pushing further Adiel’s research of hypnotic patterns and raw textures. « Musicofilia » conveys Adiel’s exploration of dissonances colliding with abrasive beats and soothing melodies. Adiel’s research behind this release is rooted in Oliver Sacks’ book « Musicophilia: Tales of Music and the Brain » (2007) where the neurologist author depicts the cognitive effects of sounds, addresses the impact of repetition in music, and its power to move and heal us. « The Call » starkly highlights the wistful tone of the record, when « Vanishing » offers a dense soundscape underlined by an irregular rhythmic structure, leading to the title track, unfolding as an overdriven club jam. « Rednight », with its throbbing pulse, gracefully concludes this EP by channeling its melancholic, yet sharp spirit.

Finally Repressed!

Coming soon, the new e.p. from Konstantin Sibold on Snork Enterprises! What about him Born in Stuttgart in 1987, grew up with hip hop music, high school in fine arts, study of aviation and space technology, teacher of drums and percussion, active as a drummer in a classical orchestra, co-founder and artworker of the renowned Common Sense People event series & resident DJ at the club Rocker 33 in Stuttgart, music repertoire includes hip hop, pop, indiependent, folk, classical and electronic music. His musical design can be best described as opposites attract with attention to the everlasting basic principle: As little as possible, as much as necessary or better: if no girl is dancing, I've made something wrong! Noisy and clear, functional and strange, stereotyped and unconventional, wide and narrow, stereo and mono. Sampling takes precedence over the programming of sounds, every element must have a function and must be internally consistent, vinyl is the sample source and acts as patina supplier, Presetsound-"not"-sound is absolutely taboo. Everything stands or falls with the sound of the elements used. These need to fuse together to a foundation, where your first impression can sit. Is this
foundation given, you get things deliberately to collapse. The arrangement is derived from the items that are available and not the other way around.

The original EP already was a feast for sore ears, but these remixes shine even brighter. A meeting of legends is happening on the vinyl version with interpretations by RVDS aka Richard von der Schulen-burg, IDM-veterans Future Beat Alliance and - a name which needs no introduction - Move D.
RVDS uses a quick 303-flavour paired with ritual flutes from Tibet in Melodica style and bleating Rave Sheeps, while Move D goes down a dreamy acid route, freely roaming through the widely reverberat-ing halls and floors of deep house. And Future Beat Alliance presents a deep, deep oomph of down-beat electronica for the later hours. (Superdefekt)

Next up on Nico Stojan and Acid Pauli’s Ouïe label is the Tia EP by Cologne-based producer Jonathan Kaspar. Fitting perfectly into the label’s roster, as the 2018 predecessor Mera, this is three tracks of tricky, leftfield dance music that will appeal to the more adventurous electronic music aficionados. Lead track Tia is a brooding epic, unfolding in unexpected ways as the rougher edges give way to dreamy pads and a tight, loopy groove keeps things in motion. Bigna shares a similar aesthetic - an intricate percussive groove provides the foundation for some minimalistic synth explorations and textures. Exclusively on the vinyl release is Nea - artfully balancing dancefloor prowess with esoteric instrumentation and a minimal aesthetic. Elin rounds off the digital release, a slow burning heater with live percussion, thick bass and atmospheric pads and blasts of noise.

B2 = vinyl exclusive

ODT presents its second vinyl release. This time we have croatian producer Zarko Rebac delivering his Meridian EP with strong remix support by Franco Cinelli and a dub techno legend Thor. It's all about dub vibes on this one. Originals, named Vibracija and Dimenzija are straight forward, dub influenced tracks. Thor delivers strong remix, with relentless groove and great dynamics, while Franco goes into the slightly more minimal approach with slick drums and dreamy pads.

Lovely Music presents a reissue of Robert Ashley's Private Parts, originally issued in 1978. This newly mastered LP release is a must-have for aficionados as well as a perfect introductory work to Ashley's oeuvre. Among Lovely Music's first six releases, it came to be known as "the yellow record". No one had ever heard anything like it; Ashley presented an unvarnished exposition of the inner workings of a man's mind. And on the other side, those of a woman. These two episodes were the foundation for Ashley's seven-part opera, Perfect Lives (LCD 4917CD, 2017), which was performed by his ensemble throughout the 1980s and was completed for television broadcast by Britain's Channel Four. New arrangements of Perfect Lives, notably Varispeed's site-specific version, continue to intrigue and enchant.

Recorded at the Center for Contemporary Music, Mills College, Oakland, California, July 1977, produced by Ashley. Personnel: Robert Ashley - voice; "Blue" Gene Tyranny - keyboards; Kris - tablas. 180 gram vinyl, Stoughton Old Style sleeve, includes libretto.

Loop LF's third EP on Well Street blurs the lines between proto dancehall and experimental techno with his trademark sound design and broken percussive layers

Meet the second part of the YOIONWAX series!
YOIONWAX is a series of limited-edition vinyl only releases by YOI RECORDS.

This time we present you 4 tracks assembled in one EP from our friend from Greece - Daniel Ortiz.
You have already met Thanos (this guy's real name) in our YOICAST, he took part with his previous nickname - Son House.
During the production he managed to mark releases on Blind Vision Records and Looking Back.
With his new name, he discovered a new chapter in his music.

The name can change, one thing remains unchanged - quality house vibes that carry to the serene sea, bring the freshness of wind at sunset, then plunge into the depths to unknown forms. All this on both sides of the YOIONWAXOO2.
The sound component of the record is complemented by an inseparable part of the YOIONWAX series - a unique unusual artwork - the animated label. When the record is spinning on the turntable, all you have to do is point the camera with the flash of your phone and the image comes to life!
As always, YOIONWAX will take a special place in the collection of every house music lover!

First Installment from the Mexican new ONLY VINYL label ART IN U. TRACKS BY JAVIER CARBALLO, CUMSECADE aka VID, ROBERTO MARTIN & PABLO MARCO.

YOIONWAX is a series of limited-edition vinyl only releases.
The first part of this series brings together musicians from four countries: Sebbe from Argentina, Watsche from Russia, Kylin Tyce from England and S.O.N. from Germany.

The unique sound of each track makes the record worthy to be in the collection of every house music lover.

Vigenere is creating a mysterious vibe with its obscure collaborative releases, but the music speaks for itself as it plots a course through deeper realms of the dance. After contributing to the first release, Malin Genie is back and seemingly flying solo for a more direct trip into dubby techno territory - that's certainly the vibe on opening immersion heater "Eschaton".

"Drain" has a more tripped out minimal flavour with the after hours in mind, while "Venus" swaps moody atmospheres out for a hazy shuffler peppered with slices of warm instrumentation. "Elara" brings things full circle with another crooked dub-out to bring eyelids down heavy in a state of transcendental bliss.

Wurzel's second chapter showcases four mesmerizing tracks from four different well-grounded artists. Hypnotic beats, tasty grooves and cosmic melodies merge onto a unique dynamic canvas. Mighty weapon to have in the bag.

doppel album !!!

Wisdom Teeth label-head Facta rounds off the year with a two part ode to the dancefloor, pitting house and 2 step beats against warping FM synths à la Errorsmith and Mark Fell. ‘Doves’ picks up where 2019’s ‘Rose Red’ left off: all melting, pitch-bending synths that fizz and ping unpredictably around a solid 4x4 beat. On the flip, ‘MPH’ tugs on the heart strings with a plasticine MIDI melody, percussive vocal chops and a tearjerking set of high-gloss pads.

Pleasure Zone presents - NTSCKT - COSMIC. The Berlin based collective presents a strong debut here. More to come!

Ghent’s based MUZI cartel is back with a vinyl only release, presenting an EP by Argentinian artists, Sound Process & Franco Strato, including a remix by the Romanian Herck.

The A1 on the record is a bass infused story layered with vocals and a deep hitting stab. Going further into the A2, we get a smooth house jam that is perfectly crafted for your Sunday afternoon sessions.

Not too complicated on the drums, this one is all about delaying your stay. On the B1 we get “Today’s Vibe”, and we really can’t describe it any better than that. Sunny grooves and warm subtle pads will bright up your day.

Herck puts the cherry on the cake with his remix on the B2. This masterpiece guarantees an endless motion putting you in trance and continuous dancing is guaranteed. Romanian vibes at it’s best!

The third installment in the Delsin Mantis series comes from Dutch producer Konduku. Making serious moves since 2018 via his regular home Nous'klaer Audio and Bristol's Idle Hands, he continues to mark out a captivating twist on modern mutant techno. The three tracks on this 12" are a masterclass in subtle soundsystem music, matching his intricate drum programming and enlightening ambient textures with the primal energy of early bleep and bass.

When Len Faki tackles an old school Matthew Herbert record (released 1998 under his rare Wishmountain moniker), the outcome couldn‘t get any better. Granting the haunting ’Radio’ a proper kick to beat along the chugging, percussive craze of the original, it quickly turns into a mesmerizing trip down memory lane. On the flip Faki leads an excursion deep into the jungle, with ’Bottle’ sporting an atmosphere so immersive, it‘s easy to get lost in the underbrush of this one!

A Journey Through The Eyes Of The Sons And Daughters Of The Four Seasons. Intricate And Deliberate, Soft Spoken Yet Focused, The Sophomore Release On Crihan's Mezin Imprint Attempts To Deliver A Complementary Aural Experience To The Perception Of Time And Evolution Thereof, Through His Own Acoustic Sensibilities.

After BienAimer Records first releases sold out in record time the London based imprint returns with a fresh 4-track VA aimed squarely at the dancefloor. Carlos Sanchez kicks things off BARWAX003 with a tough, bass heavy slab of garage tinged weaponry in ‘Eliptico’ while Steve Butcher smoothes things out on ‘Day By Day by day’. Ghini-B jacks things up on a garage tip and Thomas Roland and Tarek Charbonnier close out the perfectly balanced third release when they combine on ‘Music Story’ for a reduced percussive excursion.

Things gettin' faster and more toolish on the second OSMUND AUDIO release. Alexander Brandl's Second EP is made for the dancefloor. His drawing board is the modular synth, that spat out three massive groovers with chords from outer space, super thick bass lines and a raw and reduced sound design with roughly edited drums.
