B.Riddim is Luis Sequiera, a Portuguese living in London. Magic My Ear is his second ep for Third Ear, following the (In) Theory ep in 2012. Formerly a driving force in the influential Portuguese rap group G-Ward under the name Bellatur, Luis followed his love of Jamaican Dub using electronics to arrive at a sound which is identifiable through the sum of its parts but which is quite unique. Music like this might reasonably be expected to come from Bristol, given Bristol's musical history. The 4/4 groove is slightly more emphasized here than the tracks on (in Theory) but it is a subtle pulse most of the time with the bass and drums providing the groove and the rhythms under cascading old-skool rave melodies and arpeggios, with live melodica played by Luis. Dub and psychedelic sensibilities are to the fore on Transformed Love and Magic My Ear, carefully controlled acid-house echoes through the towering bass and whiplash drums of Dropping Your Soul. Twisted electronica floats and weaves through the rolling bass of Left Side.

Over the past five years, Ricardo Donoso has sharpened his vision and craft into a diamond point.
Beginning with 'Progress Chance', into 'Assimilating the Shadow', and now 'As Iron Sharpens Iron, One Verse Sharpens Another', Donoso has pushed deeper into grid-like, trance-infused tracks. This new EP simultaneously closes the cycle began with 'Progress Chance', and blows the possibilities for the future wide open. Split over two parts, 'As Iron Sharpens Iron, One Verse Sharpens Another' is a treatise on duality and Donoso's strongest statement to date.Opener 'Affirmation' references 'Assimilating the Shadow' while still pulling the listener deeper into the darkened pyramid that Iron/Verse occupies. Donoso's composition and production techniques have grown immensely since 'Progress Chance', and the pacing over the course of these 12's is impeccable. Bleeding into 'The Sphinx,' the focus is further dialed in. As the geometry that's graced the covers of each album has become more acute, so has the music contained therein. 'Diagonal Environment' features a relentless pummeling of heady bass sequences and subtle leads while the 'The Old Straight Track' mixes elements of blackened dub and burnt-out goa into something new and addictive.

Transcendent starts a white label (hand stamped) series besides the regular label output. The first release is by Leeuwardens finest electronic music veteran Marcel Caron, hailing from the North of the Netherlands. He presents two carefully crafted dark haunting uncompromising ambient techno tracks. Prepare for an ultimate dystopia of dark hardware electronics. Including two Hexagon (aka Conforce) remixes for the different hours.Pressing of 150 copies!

End Of Dayz Records was created in this year of changes, the end of an era, the beginning of other times.. That's what we hope. This new label is owned by a Discos Paradiso crew member, Dj Bruce Lee. After 15 years in the underground scene in Barcelona, he has decided to create this platform.

Next up on Sudden Drop we have Dutch native and member of ESHU (along with Ivano Tetelepta) Roger Gerressen supplying the luscious beats. 'Faithful' is a spritely groove with elements of dub techno and tech-house with it's lush chords and forward leaning percussion really giving the track a sense of pace. Flip-sides 'Put that Record On' delves deeper with a headier combination of deep bass and spoken 'put that record..' refrain.

Future sound!The second EP of Cassegrain shows how extraordinary talented Alex and Hüseyin are and which wide range of electronic music both definitely cover. After their first release on Prologue the Coptic EP shows again the perfect range between experimental techno, proper sound research and deepest trails in electronic music. We are very proud to have these guys on Prologue!

On Memento Split 001, Gas and Acirne come up with two fresh releases who show their love for
unconventional soundscapes and musical emotions.

Gas' 'El Merendero' features low-pitched vocals and throbbing rhythms which give the track a
doomy atmosphere. Warm synths provide a crescendo feeling of paranoia that leads to the distorted
analog acid sounds in the break. A presence that rises from the depths, it ends with disturbing
laughs, a quirky nod to the pleasure and pain mood of this tune.

Acirne's 'Luise' is upbeat and housey, with a driving bass melody and synth tones complete keyboards that fill the breaks and an almost ambient-like vibe that gives a hazy
touch to the track's ending.

Dave Vega's remix revolves around a heavy kick and bass structure. Snare, percussions and
distorted sounds fill the space with a menacing tone, while old-school techno synths give the whole
piece a sense of dreariness.

Ernesto Ferreyra's remix, based on a more minimal beat, big bass textures and uplifting pads, is the
counterpart to Acirne's more intimate and soft side. Images of dreamy landscapes are portrayed by
layers of sounds. The delay on the keyboards in the final part makes for a sonic trip, a sun-kissed
vision that resonates with colour and passion.

From the suburbs of Stockholm Korridor transmits three ultra deep and slowly progressing techno tracks, carefully crafted in a thin layer of ice cold atmospheres and twisted rhythms. Another nice release on Abullah Rashim's Northern Electronics label! (ltd supplies)

Killer-Release!!! Vinyl only. No more infos necessary.

Echocord Colour is proud to release the 4th ep by French producer Sebastien San. Again Sebastien delievers 2 amazing floating dubby tracks, with his typical Detroit influences. Both tracks are perfect for the morning hours or for the warmup djset. Sebastien is also known for his releases on labels like Planet-E, Rush Hour and Gigolo.

Two years have passed since his release at Sandwell District and after his remix contribution to Sawf's Sand EP, Belgian producer, Yves De Mey, returns to Modal Analysis with a two-track EP. The first track allures the listener to an abstract heavy sound, whereas, the second track follows a more distinct rhythmic structure. Both tracks create an atmospheric environment with the use of modular sounds. The EP wraps up with a Shifted club remix of the first track.

One of the most wanted albums in 2012 now finally on vinyl. Pitchfork sayed 'It's a triumph", Resident Advisor rated the highest review score with 5of5, Little White Earbuds say 'one of the albums 2012, Playground Mag say most magnetic electronic music albums of 2012 and still on Discogs in the list of best albums ever. Prologue is happy and more than proud to present the Vinyl version from Voices from the Lake which includes 2 fresh tracks with In Giova Alternative Mix and 01.12. N.. Thanks to Donato Dozzy and Neel for this amazing piece of music.

****Repress alert! Excessive prices on Discogs and high demand have lead to a repress of Dauwd's debut 12" release What's There. With releases on Kompakt and Ghostly International as well as tour dates with Bonobo under his belt, now seems like an appropriate time to revisit this 2011 classic.****

2013 Eight years since his last Ovum EP release and David Alvarado is back with the Land Of The Sunchild EP on Ovum. American born and Los Angeles bred DJ, producer, and artist David Alvarado continues a career that has spanned over 15 years, and is still considered to be one of electronic music's best kept secrets. He is best known for his work on some of the worlds most respected imprints such as Ovum, Ultra, Peacefrog, Yoshi Toshi, Plastic City, Strictly Rhythm, and Guidance, along with his early work on his own label Bomb Records. David began his career as a DJ running a renegade sound system and deejaying underground parties around the Los Angeles area. He quickly made an impact on the American electronic music scene with his unique style and signature music selection. His work as a producer and artist began to take root after a chance meeting with the legendary Plus 8 duo, Richie Hawtin and John Acquaviva, who stumbled across one of his very first works and invited him to be a part of their newly formed Definitive Records. From there David forged relationships, and created a body of work that would take him around the world, opening the door to performances at legendary clubs and events such as The Ministry of Sound, The Hacienda, E-Werk, Tresor, Florida 135, Row Club, Panorama Bar, The Arches, Extrema Festival, Sonar. David returns to Ovum after a 8 year hiatus from releasing on the label. His 'Klugh' release still is regarded as one of the seminal tracks on the label and is still played today. David returns with a two track techno workout that should rock any dance-floor.

played by Richie Hawtin, Sven Väth, Loco Dice, Pete Tong ...
SCI+TEC brings you the first of this new breed of Dubfire productions and kick things off with the first of the tracks to be completed, OCTVS. Whilst we are treated to the trademark muscle of the kick-drum, it's the groove and sheer level of 'funk' that immediately grabs you on the lead cut. Its warm pulsating bassline is countered by its piercing and cascading sirens. This is primetime Dubfire fare.

Japan is the third release from the key ar:st Dominant at Parallel
Pain Records. Four tracks with the highest quality sounds, textures and rhythms where dub noise predominates in a constant Timeless groove.

The Regenesis EP is the extraction of M.Rahns current digital Album "Regenesis"
All sounding great deep and sometimes dark, based on detroit elements and enlarged chordpads. The Stryx tracks are generally the most dubful tracks in here, perfectly placed for the peaktime afterhours.

Chicagos Dance Mania-Label hatte mit seinem charakteristischen Jackin' House von Acts wie DJ Funk, DJ Deeon, Paul Johnson oder Ron Hardy Mitte der 1990'er Jahre einen grossen Einfluss auf die meisten Boysnoize Records-Künstler. Viele der Tunes sind bis heute Bestandteil guter DJ-sets. Boysnoize Produzenten und Freunde huldigen nun dem Kultlabel mit einem Sampler voller exklusiver Tracks. Für den Kickstart sorgt der 'shakin' that ass' Style von Feadz, während sich das Spektrum im Verlauf von Booty-House bis zum deeperen House-Soul eines Ron Hardy erstreckt (Steve Strip "Go On Girl").

clear vinyl 12" "The Nippon Express" is a series of two releases by wellknown artists from JAPAN. release two comes from Miruga (Drift Deeper Recordings, Ethereal Sounds) with n awesome attitude of dub techno.
