No. proudly presents its second 12 inch release, under catalogue number No. 903. Sagittarius A is a bright and very compact astronomical radio source at the center of the Milky Way, near the border of the constellations Sagittarius and Scorpius. It is part of a larger astronomical feature also known as Sagittarius A. Sagittarius A is also believed to be the location of a supermassive black hole. As a consequence, the artist behind Sagittarius A's 'Omega Point EP", wishes to remain anonymous. The EP's main title 'Omega Point' can be described as a blend of stripped down techno/acid and deep ambient textures, and provides full dancefloor functionality while remaining in a sphere of its own. On the flipside, Material Object is on remix duty providing a psychedelic wave of synthesiser and machine madness which completes the overall image of this production and makes it another true No. gem. Also available exclusively as digital download is yet another remix of 'Omega Point' ("Delta Shuffle Remix"), said to originate from Atom™'s studio, who oversaw production of this EP.

finally repressed! In the world of electronic music, 15 years is a bloody near eternity.

Hot on the heels of his last outing for the Delsin house series comes this, another essential new offering from German producer Erdbeerschnitzel. The experienced producer has many skills in his arsenal and this new EP proves that once again. The title track The Ample Waters is a joyous and lively concoction that fuses curious melodies with busy little piano stabs and more trilling, sunny melodies. It's busy house for bustling dancefloors and next up, Never Tilt slows things down with jumbled, woody percussion falling over lazy drums and stretched, yawning synth smears. Colourful and effervescent, it's a track that makes you want to shake your limbs. With Level Hopes is again characterised by melodic colour, with pixelated patterns stretched over a funky, gooey bassline and clacking percussion. There's a beautifully DIY feel to the loosely assembled track that gives it a life all of its own before closer Yet Unfulfilled pairs slo-mo beats with neo-soul vocal snippets, lazy and stoned summer chords. It's the most emotive of the lot, but all four tracks are truly feel good jams that have come just in time for some serious summer action.

Berlin by Overnight by Max Richter is taken from Daniel Hope's latest album Spheres (2013) and will now be released DIGITALLY and on VINYL together with 4 remixes by internationally acclaimed remixers, who were carefully selected and picked up on the nocturnal, minimal and repetitive atmosphere. The international line up of remixers: Efdemin: A dark sounding producer from Berlin, known for his minimalist musical approach, who regularly performs at clubs such as the Berlin Panorama Bar (Berghain) CFCF: A renowned Canadian electronic artists whose music alternates between the spaces of dance, ambient, pop and neo-classical who has already remixed the music of artists such as Crystal Castles Lorna Dune: One of the most versatile keyboardists & producers currently working in New York, with a background in classical, experimental, electronic, and pop.

Analogue Mapping sees Meanwhile founder Robert Lawrence return to production duties as Bovill in requisite fashion after a four year absence. In this time Lawrence has focused on establishing the London label as a worthy outlet for the deeper echelons of techno with material from Murmur, Sven Weismann, Bvdub and Conforce. Spread luxuriously across two slabs of vinyl, the six tracks allow Bovill to make room for soothing, dubby moments that ease you in as well as productions characterised by their driving drum and chord arrangements. See the spine tingling opener "So It Goes" for evidence of the former whilst "Neap" and "Hunt Or Herd" provide perfect examples of the latter.

A time machine appeared to us recently in a cloud of smoke and a giant portal of light. Out of the portal a smoking piece of futuristic metal emerged and fell onto our floor. Closer examination revealed it to be a time capsule sent from the future. A message from the year 2043, it contained diagrams of futuristic machines from what looks to have been the studio sessions of the recordings presented here. Here is what we found, a 2 track EP (plus remixes) from artists from the future. Recordings made 21 years from now but from artists who you may have already heard of today.

Here comes the next Ep on Echocord. We welcome a new
act to the family, here comes Philogresz. 'Emerald's Edge
Ep' contains 2 original tracks and a Remix. Dubby Techno
and House with a huge Detroit feeling, the remix comes
rom Mikkel Metal.
Philogresz' sound is moody, melodic, jazzy and organically
composed, yet it is arrogantly arranged techno with
absolutely no boundaries...
A match made in heaven: after a multitude of releases on
abels like Electric Deluxe, Ware, Treibstoff, Bedrock,
PHIL, Third Wave, and many others, Philogresz a.k.a Ilker
Soylu is rooted firmly on the intelligent electronic music
scene
with his organic and evolving usical composition. The
Dutchmans (w/ Turkish roots) complex, yet straightforward
grooves blend in smoothly in his livesets as he keeps the
diversity and energy on the steady level. Still, the artist
explores new grounds over and over again.
One can still hear the jazzy past, but even those influences
went all the way from mere ornamentation to functional
pizazz. Having a background as studio manager and label
head, he does not lose himself in muddy plug-in mania like
so many others do and keeps a steady and conceptual, just
ike his character...Lend an eye on him as he is getting
closer to your soul each and everyday slowly but surely...

never forget where you come from.

Some say history has come to an end... we say the future is about to start... 2 Brand new nu-jack sessions by Jamal Moss aka Hieroglyphic Being and Noleian Reusse.

British imprint Tact Recordings drops its seventh release this October, the 'Doe Maar Diep' EP from Dutch duo, Duijn & Douglas, backed with a rework from label-head LIXHZ.

Duijn & Douglas is the moniker for production duo, Esther Duijn, and Steady Douglas, Duijn is notably known for her work with the likes of Feelharmonic Records, Nowar and Organic Music, as well as regular appearances at the likes of Panorama Bar and Tresor in Berlin, while Steady is the brains behind the Amsterdam Voidd brand. Here the duo join the Tact Recordings roster, slotting in alongside works from Matthew Burton, Mr.G, and Tevo Howard.

The single opens with 'Zucht En Nog Eens', a moody, hook-driven deep techno cut, featuring dubbed out aesthetics, weighty drums and an infectious Rhodes line in the latter stages of the record, which really ties the whole cut together and create a slow-blooming dance-floor focused workout.
'Noorderlicht' follows, which veers on a deeper excursion with ethereal pads, gritty bass stabs and dropped tempo distorted percussion. The soulful vocals of, Berenice, then add further musicality to the record and instills some additional charm and character to things.

On the flip side, the duo turn in a deep house cut, a perfect way to wind down the original content, as they opt for bright synth chords, swinging drums and bulbous sub bass, while Berenice's vocals again add a heart felt warmth to things. Label-head LIXHZ then closes the EP with a digital bonus extra, reshaping 'Noorderlicht', putting things on a gritty off-kilter tip with broken drums, swirling background atmospherics and heavily processed vocals snippets, while bubbling dubbed out synth lines and resonant sweeps drive the movement of the record.

supported by : Raresh, Cosmin TRG, Ivan Smagghe, Oliver Deutschmann, Franck Roger, Ed Davenport, Red Rackem, Drehwerk, RVDS, Paco Osuna, Fabrizio Maurizi, Franco Cinelli, Stacey Pullen, Darko Esser, Okain, Shlomi Aber, Anthony Collins, Steve Lawler, Jacuzzi Boys, Danny Tenaglia, Arnauld Le Texier,

Unclear 004 scars the up and coming debut of Niro as a producer, by producing an EP designed by a deep and a strong dub and techno tonalities.
Side A is strongly inspired and imprinted from the deep house of Agachoo and from Reshape mix of Fred P that manages to produce his own originality integrated with a strong dub atmosphere.
Side B is a discovery into the techno soul differently from the previous EP described before. Starship Hookers demonstrates an ever more strong reference to deep, that the remix of MRSK manages to strip completely bringing the entire disc into the purest of techno.
