Proper screwface Detroit techno — dense, stroppy and curt, vintage-UR style. Flip's like a trippy Hashim boogie, with martial vocoder, three-point filtering, and trigger-happy synths. Murder number three from BH.

Early big support by Hanne & Lore, Aka Aka, Gabriel Le Mar, Claude von Stroke, D. Diggler, Raycoux Jr., Playane, Tobsen Graale, Alex Rath, Rob Slac, Summer and many more !
First Release of this upcoming Deep and Tech House Label. After some succesful vinyl releases on Oliver Schories Label "Turnbeutel" and "Subotnik", Clark Davis release his "Tulpenbluete" with a big Remix by Andre Kronert (e.g. Ostwind) on Vogelfrei.
On the other side Chris Noise shows his talent with his track "Shadow from the Sun". His friend Ingo Boss from Cocoon remixes this nice track.

Impressive new comer to the Techno ranks, Counter Pulse, embarks on its 3rd release with a split 12" from Logotech and Unbalance, and including remixes by Giorgio Gigli and Inigo Kennedy. The release wades its way through dark, dramatic washes of atmospheric sound design and pulsing rhythms to present us with an EP not only worth dancing to, but also listening to. An outstanding journey through contemporary Techno.

Hot new techno label straight out of Dutch techno enclave Nijmegen! Mysterious, analog and ''one time'' project by some local artists involved with some highly acclaimed labels and releases, who yet wish to remain unknown for this project, for which they deliver some deep, trippy yet adventurous techno tracks. This release is an introduction to Shipwrec's deep sea techno series on their new sublabel. Vinyl only and highly limited!

Crossing a Frozen Sea is the first release by Belgian electronic music project Red Stars Over Tokyo on Testtoon Records. His music is free-flowing, precise and emotional and references 90's Intelligent Ambient and 80's Industrial music. The 20-minute original is remixed for the B-side by the acclaimed Magazine collective from Cologne. They give the track a liquid bassline and some more forward motion, turning it into an overpowering and emotional trip.

Split EP, Vinyl Only, Limited Copies.
Originals from G.Verrina & G.Ventura, Thirdchild plus 2 excellent remixes by Andrei Zots and Cally!!!i

A special remix 12" with tracks taken from GLENN's "JULY 12, 1979" album. "GOING BANANAS (GORILLA DISCO DUB)" on the A-
side is a seriously deep and soulful house groover full of jazzy horns. Disco heaven! "CVO SOUL (ISOUL8 EDIT)" on the flip is broken
beat piano driven dancefloor dynamite from Italy's ISOUL8 (ENRICO CRIVELLARO)! FYI: 'GOING BANANAS (GORILLA DISCO
DUB)' was voted an SJU fan favorite for 12' release after an impromptu online survey. HOUSE NUJAZZ

Johanna Knutsson and fellow Swede Hans Berg are finally back on board and bringing a fantastic new release to Klasse's schedule. Donka/Mosquitoes is a wonderful work of melodic Techno and features remixes from Bristol native, October and Bass Culture/Kontra regular Joel Alter.
Donka sets the scene with a Tribal-esque bassline, sounding like something lost deep within a jungle the track writhes about with its elements. Maintaining its groove and pace, it finally reaches new pastures where it takes a softer and more melodic direction. Blossoming into a beautiful breakdown the track takes a breather before stumbling head first into the dark and bumpy territory that came beforehand.
October takes on Donka for remix duties and twists it into something entirely different. Relying only on one subtle part of the original track, October builds a deliciously delirious atmosphere of clanking 808s and freaky echo. Apparently recovering from a skateboarding accident when making the remix, October used his prescribed opiate-medication not only as pain-relief but also as inspiration for this trippy dub.
Mosquitoes starts off with a similar direction, Nord-like bass hits ring out with shuffle and swing, giving the track a distinctly UKG flavour. Arpeggiated synths give the track a balance and provide a delicate and chordal balance, building and building the track keeps up a momentum that is sure to explode on the dancefloor.
Rounding off the release is Joel Alter's remix of Donka, heading in a straight four to the floor direction, Joel utilizes bouncing toms and a throbbing synth hook effectively. The track briefly breaks down, using the melodic and atmospheric parts of the original before returning to the foot-stomping groove.

After unstoppable releases on labels like Moon Harbour, Get physical, Cècille and Truesoul, right before the release of his first album "I WILL WAIT" Marco Faraone is back again on his own imprint "Etruria Beat", managed together with his big friend and partner Luca Agnelli, with a four track Ep influenced by dark and dirty sounds, showing his musical evolution by his moments and travels around the world, not cataloging himself in one style, but ranging continuously between new shades

His compositions cleverly anchor stark, machine-like percussion in unprocessed field recordings and abstract noise sources, toying with the conventional boundaries between sound and music. The mixture of impromptu organic recordings and pin-sharp manmade elements simultaneously humanises and adds an air of detachment to the work; a testament to Manni Dee's command of texture and flair for sound design.

Already supported by Len Faki, Lucy, Tommy Four Seven, Norman Nodge.

'The end user has now become obsolete. We are just an entity that sell goods. We are not the target but on the contrary a mean to make profit.

We're pleased to introduce the launch of echospace (detroit) archival editions. A special edition series focused on the rare, historical works of deepchord.
The long out of print deepchord catalog has since been remastered and will finally be available again on this gorgeous triple LP set. The release includes photography by Rod Modell and a 12" X 12' (frame-able) photograph emphasizing the creative eye and instincts of the artist.
It's been a lengthy and timely process restoring old analog tape, DAT and cassette recordings (some dating back to 1994) all of which have been carefully resurrected from the vault of Detroit's revered NSC Studio. The long out of print catalog has been remastered, mixed, and once again bounced down to tape to ensure the best possible listening experience. Great measures, focus and time were spent to preserve the analog warmth and sonic integrity of the original masters. For those who don't know, these releases are considered by many some of the most inspired and influential sounds to emerge from Detroit well over 10 years ago, a blue-print was set here for many artists to come, a step in the evolution.
Expect gorgeous plumes of sound deeper than the ocean floor, a rich analog tapestry made in the heart of Detroit, Techno City.

Rowl delivers The Crescent's fourth release with two original works packaged alongside a stunning remix from ASC. True to form, 004 is another beautifully varied EP exploring the depth of dub techno with influence from the UK's signature garage and dubstep sounds packaged across a plethora of BPMs.
*Already with a string of releases under his belt on imprints such as ICUAudio, M.U.D and Smoking Sessions, Rowl has stepped up once again to deliver an EP that has both headphone and dance floor appeal; one for the chin-strokers and DJs alike.
*The EP opens with the beautiful 'Egipto' - its careful shuffle mixed with Rowl's signature sculpted dub chords set the tone for the rest of the release and showcases his talent at combining influences, bringing a truly unique vibe to the 130bpm bass movement.
*On the flip, 'Someone' is a far more sombre affair, stuttered syncopated drums coupled with deep chords and a lush vocal complement a beautiful sub line, creating a tune rich in both emotion and narrative.
*ASC's interpretation brings his trademark experimental 'Auxiliary' flavour to the release. Perceivably an ode to the label's first excursion and drum and bass roots, the remix explores the ambient groove of 170BPM and does so seemingly effortlessly. It's a true display of disregard for genre norms and an interpretation that translates the original vibe into a subtler piece for autonomic aficionados.
*Early support from: Rowl, Versa, M.U.D, DjRum, Synkro, Troy Gunner, eleven8, HVL, Space Cadets, ASC, Sam KDC and more...
