with it´s own style. Side A is a voyage into drone driven techno
embellished with delicate and melancholic sequenced sounds and
emblematic patters true to the label head´s take on modern techno. SIDE
B goes deep and straight into a no holds barred deep techno offering by

dance floor whether it is to open or close a session of modern
intelligent techno.

Soulshine Musik is a fresh new U.K.- based record label founded by vocalist and song writer Amelia Harmony.

The label is in its first year of production and is already making waves accross the roots reggae dub scene. Amelia Harmony has had vinyl releases on various labels such asKing Earthquake Productions, Instrument Of Jah Productions and the mightyMellow Vibes label to name a few. Soulshine Musik is dedicated to keeping the rootikal vibrations of all genres of reggae alive, working with artists and producers across the globe to create timeless musik.

The one year celebratory release of MOC sees label heads Andreas Pionty and fumée grise bringing forth a new concept that sheds light on the imprint's musical direction. The release consists of an attentive selection of four tracks out last year, that were given the remix treatment.

Gathaspar's celestial 'The Lover Of Ursa Major' is the first to get reworked. Andreas Pionty keeps the main focus on the vocals and adds extra bass and zippy synths, turning it into a high paced, relentless piece of techno goodness. The mysterious mood on the dubby 'Boyz Weekend' is turned down to a minimum, making headway for a more rapacious, dancefloor oriented take.

fumée grise brings back the eerie factor, starting with his 'Haunted Forest Remix' of one of MOC's first ever releases - Steven Cock's 'Fusion'. Stripped down of its more playful bell accents, the remix goes into a dark and deep territory, as the name suggests. Lastly, Gathaspar's sub-bassy 'Gathsoland' gets taken down a notch, downplaying the original kick but still centering around the addictive vocal sample.

A bit over a year after Lehult's inaugural relase, Eddie Ness's solo debut is - if not the ending of a full circle - a release with one foot firmly in the short history of our label and the other, already, two steps ahead in the future. Eddie's tracks were made a exactly a year after Follow Me To Flottbek Falls by Lucky Charmz, in exactly the same place, a small, red hut in the woods of Sweden - pictured on LHLT001. And so, these tracks exhale: warmth, contentment - yet are full of energy, pushing forward, much like it is Eddie's nature itself. This description is maybe best mirrored in Ombré", the A1, a track so cheerfully detached it seems at times like the thumping, powerful groove beneath is the only thing keeping the elements from unwinding into seperate, psychedelic directions. Afro' is it's direct counterpart - concentrated, moody, but still there is warmth here, coming from a place beyond the dancefloor. It's a warmup game changer, or maybe an afterhours hypnosis - that is up to you. Menjou' is another subtle force on this EP. A space excursion of swelling pads and massaging bass interplay, this one goes all the way on the dancefloor. Finally, we're happy to have our friend Borrowed Identity on the team with his remix for Ombre", which he effortlessly takes to the big room with wet, driving drums and merciless acid blips.

Delsin are proud to present, Sides of Space, a collection of classic, lost and forgotten tracks from atmospheric techno producer D5. The 12 track, triple vinyl affair will land in November in both regular and limited edition forms. D5 has released a number of fine EPs on Delsin that date back to the turn of the millennium, as well as a fine full length in 2002 entitled 'Alien Artform'. The tracks on this new compilation have been chosen from old CDRs by label boss Marsel and truly reflect the artist formerly known as Dimensions 5's fine tradition of relaxing chilled out, Detroit influenced techno. His most classic track, 'Floatation Tank' (which was a standout from the 2005 Panet Delsin compilation) as well as all cuts from the sought after Neutrino EP, are included here, and still sound as good now as they ever did. In all there are seven previously released tracks as well as five brand new, never before heard cuts, and they all make for absorbing listening both in the club, on headphones or from the sofa.

Efdemin is back on Dial Records with his third full-length album DECAY, following his self-titled debut in 2007 and CHICAGO, in 2010. Once again he offers a stunningly seductive stream of music written in his very own hand. After three years of extensive touring as a DJ, Phillip Sollmann took the chance to compose his third album under his Efdemin moniker while spending three months in an artist residency in Kyoto, Japan. Living next to the Kamo river, surrounded by temples, shrines and the ever-present blue mountains, he started working in the late summer, facing typhoons and intensive heat, and finished the album in the early mild days of winter. Thus mainly assembled in autumn, his favourite season of year, the ten tracks on "Decay" express the paradoxical relationship between beauty and decay. The production procedure was a dichotomous one. Recording was done in his recently finished new Berlin-Wedding studio, "The Meadow," mostly on analog equipment, while the final production took place in Japan. The result is an album of intriguing rigour and a certain beauty hidden within. It marks a big step towards the deeper side of techno and lets many of his early influences in 90s techno shine through (from early Cologne minimalism, M-plant and Axis to Terrence Dixon) as well as his love for drone music. Although at a first glance it might seem that this album is a somehow more distant and less melodic than the previous output, it provides the full unique range of Efdemin's vocabulary, which he is known and loved for. Decay sounds in certain parts like a of process of correction, revaluation and re-alignment, making room for new thing to come. There is beauty within decay.

Killer punkrockdub album from 1983 finally reissued via the consistent Light In The Attic label. HUGE tip!!
Political post-punk trio This Heat dissolved at a turbulent time in the UK. Margaret The Iron Lady' Thatcher was in power, and her budget-cutting, ultra-conservative influence was felt strongly in-among many other places-the cultural melting pot of Brixton, South London, where This Heat had their origins. Dusting himself off after the collapse of the band in 1982, guitarist/vocalist Charles Bullen united with Julius Samuel to form Lifetones and embraced the sounds of the local West Indian community to fuse reggae flavor to the kind of propulsive, rhythmic, and experimental music made by This Heat.

Deceit, This Heat's 1981 album, had seen them work with David Cunningham, who had already helped mesh dub reggae with new wave pop on The Flying Lizards' 1979 single, Money (That's What I Want Want).' Even so, For A Reason was a great leap, one that created a strange, unsettling mood as Bullen's multi-tracked, chant-like vocals met dub beats and Krautrock-informed repetition. Where Deceit dealt with the nuclear threat, For A Reason was less reactionary, even quoting Bob Marley in its lyrics: you love the life you live, you live the life you love.'

Just six tracks and half an hour long, the album was recorded at Cold Storage studio and released on Bullen's own Tone Of Life Records. It has become a sought-after collector's item that changes hands for hundreds of dollars a time. As a solo artist, Bullen was not prolific-it was 15 years until, in 1998, he released Internal Clock under the name Circadian Rhythms-but like the rest of his band, he has enjoyed a long, enriching career in unending pursuit of new sounds.

Even though This Heat had no commercial success to follow up on, For A Reason was an album created with no intention of hitting the charts. Reissued on Light In The Attic, Lifetones' single album retains a timeless quality and perhaps-on tracks such as Good Side'-a futuristic sound that nobody else ever caught up to.

The melodic, dubbed out techno sounds are in its hayday in Japan, and Hypnotic Room is the embodiment of this trend, bringing you, once again, warm spacious sounds by some of Japan's most talented artists.

A1 track immediately feels like a warm bubble-bath, having all the right ingredients for those dubby moments; warm vibrant chord stabs, inventive pad-work, and spacy effects, making Tominori Hosoya's 'My Funny Daughters' a masterpiece.

This side closes off with Deep Inquisitive's track 'Shiki', and it doesn't get any more 'dub' than this. Close your eyes and you instantly feel like sipping wine in one of Ibiza's beachclubs. Pure quality dub techno !

The joy continues on side B, and Asian Psilocybe Foundation gears it up with 'Light Line', super dreamy, but still keeping the dance-vibe strongly in there.

Wrapping up this 12" is the usual suspect Takashi Watanabe, who's making a name for himself quickly in Japan. Fans won't be disappointed, because 'Club Harie' is truly one of his best works. The use of synth is brilliant, and makes it a very usable track for the clubs.

Neun Jahre gereift: Tadd Mullinix und Daniel Meteo grüßen vom Dub der guten Hoffnung.

Dieses Kollaborationsalbum von Tadd Mullinix (aka Dabrye) und Daniel Meteo (Meteosound, Bus) geht auf eine ausgedehnte Studio-Session zurück, die bereits 2007 in Berlin stattfand. Damals hatte Mullinix die Idee, gemeinsam mit einer Reihe von Rhythms zu arbeiten, die sich stilistisch an den frühen digitalen Sounds jamaikanischer Produzenten der beginnenden 1980er orientierten, beginnend mit Prince Jammys "Sleng Teng". Eine sehr arbeitsintensive Woche später hatten die beiden schon mehr als zwei Handvoll Titel zusammen, auf denen sie originale Dub-Beats mit selbst eingespielten Aufnahmen von Gitarren, Orgeln, Synthesizern und dergleichen kombinierten, durch die Echokammer jagten und mit einem finalen VintageCharakter schmückten. Mit Ausnahme von zwei Tracks, die auf Kompilationen befreundeter Labels (Monkeytown, Shitkatapult) erschienen, blieben die Ergebnisse der Öffentlichkeit bislang verborgen. Doch nun, nachdem die Aufnahmen neun Jahre im Giftschrank gepflegt reiften, haben Tadd und Daniel beschlossen, die Highlights des Ganzen als Album zu veröffentlichen. "Good Star Dubs" enthält damit sechs der ursprünglichen Aufnahmen sowie zwei alternative Mixe.

The Stealth triple vinyl series presents six tracks taken from Peter Van Hoesen's 'Stealth' mix compilation. The same philosophy is carried across: it marries Peter's music with the sounds he is influenced by. The result is a powerful selection of vibrant techno, with a warm, almost spiritual, feel to it. Both Donato Dozzy and Neel have appeared individually on Time to Express before, here they appear for the first time together as Voices From the Lake. The Italian duo offer more evidence of their distinctive brand of hypnotic techno with 'Zulu Vortex', a spiralling percussive workout. This is paired with a track from Wata Igarashi, a rising Japanese DJ and producer. 'Night' is a glowing, radiant piece of techno that has become a regular feature in Peter Van Hoesen's recent DJ sets.

Mikkel Metal was the rst artist on Echocord, and the main reason why the label was started back then. After many many releases we are very happy and proud that he now returns with a full lenght album.More than 7 years after his last long-player album Mikkel Metal returns with a new album for Echocord.  Bypassing dub-techno as the starting point, this is music clearly consistent with earlier output. We are presented with 10 tracks that all evolve with around a melancholic melodic framework. While there is clearly a nod to Detroit and another to Dubtechno, the overall impression is consistently and nmistakably the sound of Mikkel Metal. A hypnotic, very enjoyable and thorough return from the Danish Artist.

With the launch of his White Material label in New York 2012, Dj Richard started releasing a line of the most stunning works by Galcher Lustwerk, Young Male, Morgan Louis and himself.
Alongside a collaboration with Carsten Jost for the Lawrence "Films And Windows Remixes" the Dial Records crew deeply fell in love with the works of Dj Richard and vice versa the request to release his debut album here caused enthusiastic encounter.
After his contribution for Dial's 15 Years compilation and almost two years of production, it is here: Dj Richard - Grind ! A tribute to what contemporary club music and enthusiastic sound experiments should be about: exaltation and addiction. This is what Dj Richard's club sets feel like- an incredible sound seduction, another dimension- Grind might be the essence of it all.
