This is blueform, a sublabel of melted recordings, with it's first release - made by Random Audio. In order to assort different variations of techno blueform was founded as the first official sublabel of melted recordings, although small labels aside of melted were started so far. Blueform stands for real classic detroit techno as we know and love it for many years. Very famous protagonists, especially from the US formed this spacy, retro-futuristic and/or chordish sound - a special state of mind. Random Audio reflects these characteristics with his tracks of the hologram EP. He is an important part of the futuredraht community, he has produced many tracks of various styles - mostly (but not only) techno - and even now he had just his second track on melted recordings under another alias, this is his first own (vinyl | digitally worldwide distributed) release. The first track "Fourier Transmatica" brings us back with a pulsating sound into the late nineties of detroit techno. The chords, melodies and pads in "Downtown" fit exactly to the sound of "the motor city". "The Model" goes right into the science fiction side of techno using creaky blips and old string sounds and finally "The Mask" seems to build itself up with bubbling tones again and again. Watch out for the next big release of Random Audio very soon!

Imugem Orihasam is one of Japan's most exciting and driven electronic music composers. With a slew of releases on the likes of Ilian Tape, Sistrum and New Kanada, to name but a few, he is clearly a man on a mission. He started out making hip hop beats in 1997 but by 2000 exposure to Jeff Mills by a close friend ignited a fire that burns deep and blue.Upon listening to these four tracks two things becomes clear, Imugem's unique vision as well as his immaculate sound design and production sensibility. The tracks are deep but propulsive, futuristic yet filled with emotion. Dive in.

Sirko Mueller, one half of the Tokomak label headquarter, is back on Mojuba sublabel wandering for
some new adventures!After his last EP called reexplored and quite some releases for Pure Plastic
sublabel Rewired, Styrax and Milnor Modern he delivers us four new tracks from his vault, showcasing
his love for deep techno on the A-Side and heavy reggae - dub influenced jams on the B-Side. Watch
for more to come from Mr. Mueller, because he has just started!

Inner Surface Music are very proud to present their fourth release with two stalwarts of the UK underground techno scene - Patrick Walker (Forward Strategy Group / Isodyne) and Inigo Kennedy. 'Data Distill" kicks off proceedings with tough but grooving rhythms snaking through twisted melodies and textural sound scapes. 'Parity Function' starts as it means to go on, the kick drum and groove has a major stomp to it, while spacey bell sequences play with the subterranean dub chords and metallic drones, building tension to the track and locking you in. 'XOR gate' is spaced out techno at it's best, driving dubby drum palettes build with the echoing bell sequences and cinematic strings, transporting
you to scenes of a far away place.

Hands Up is the production team formed by The Analogue Cops (Restoration/Appointment) and Alex Picone (Cadenza).
Their analogue joint venture has groundbreaking results. Machine powered house music heavily influenced by the Berliner dub techno and by the funkiest 2step ,with a debt to Detroit.
This first release features 2 dancefloor killers recorded on tape and saturated with bass.

FORMAT - 180 gram white vinyl LTD 300 (no digital release)

Romanian record label Amphia have just released their third vinyl and it is very far from your run of the mill record. The label owners, Vlad Caia & Cristi Cons, are showcased here in their collaborative form under the project name SIT.

A side 'Channeling' is a very pleasant listening experience full of depth and grace. The beat and bass take the center stage here while everything else is kind of muted and carefully filtered just waiting to be discovered. Unlike the A side, most of the drum elements are acoustic in nature. An element that is never hidden here is the complex array of melodic atmospherics. The three minute long outro gives you a chance to reflect upon some of the elements in greater detail and leaves you feeling cooled and relaxed.

B side 'Ex' has a very industrial, feel to it right off the bat. Aside from the hypnotic 4/4 beat we have a very playful bassline, bright reverbed synthetic drum elements that are carefully crafted in sound and well placed in the structure of the sound, giving the track a smooth, rolling feel. A detuned pad helps complete this beauty's slightly darker melodic character.

This is then a very effective record in the sense that it perfectly showcases what the dynamic duo are capable of, complex and mesmerizing at the same time.

The Spanish label 'TechnoLogika Records' has the premiere in this new release number 18 in format vinyl, on the occasion of his second Anniversary.

Also we will be able to enjoy the remixes created by the artists AXEL KARAKASIS, DYLAN DRAZEN and STANNY FRANSSEN.
Supported by: RICHIE HAWTIN, SLAM, PACO OSUNA, CLAUDE VONSTROKE, ROLAND M. DILL, SASHA CARASSI, DAVE ELLESMERE...

A rolling groove and significantly classic hooklines turn this into a techno monster.

Our 2 golden old ladies are back with a dub inspired deep cruise around the corner. Anette
throws the beats and chords and Anita tries to kick out the bad ghosts directly into the mic.
Acid Pauli catches the mood of this exorcism and transforms it to his own world.

Thanks for purchasing a real copy!
DE:BUG: 'Jackmate - Oval [Phil E/2011 - WAS] Eigentlich gibt es kaum ein anderes Label auf der Welt, das so beständig und mit einer solchen Lässigkeit diese ungewöhnlichen und überdreht massiven Kicks raushaut wie Phil E und Philpot. Und das über Jahre. Jedes einzelne Release ein Meisterwerk und die neue Jackmate (deren Tracks ich nicht schreiben kann, weil mir die eher elektronischen Anfangsbuchstaben auf der Tastatur fehlen) ist voller unerwarteter Wendungen. - OvaI' (mit Ohmzeichen) rockt mit einem massiven Jazzswing langsam in einen treibend plinkernden Killertrack, der selbst Carl Craig zu seinen besten Zeiten hätte erblassen lassen, und die unglaubliche Duborgie auf der Rückseite zeigt einem mal wieder, wieviel an Zersplitterung dieser Sound eigentlich vertragen könnte, ohne seine summend breite Killerästhetik verlassen zu müssen. Zwei grandiose Tracks, und den letzten wünsche ich mir als Startschuss in das nächste Jahr.

Next up on Deep Vibes comes Sascha Dive with his killer remixes of Matthew Dear's "Little People (Black City)".

After a successful release period of Eintakt's 10 years anniversary, the label appears with the 2nd part of the Liquid Garden series. Eintakt´s new compilation 'Liquid Garden Chapter 2' makes this summer to a lithesome incidence.
Extraordinary airy and deep sound combined with dub tech elements, a congenial batty mix of distinct styles. Bekeschus, Einklang freier Frequenzen, Reynold and The Marx Trukker
contribute their brilliant acoustic artwork to this team-playing vinyl.
A very special attention must be given to the cover artwork, an enormous combination of graphic- and sound design. After building up a trigger for a kick drum and installing a special camera, our graphic designer Astrid Höffling shot a mass of abstract forms, that show the colourful exercise of the frequencies while running out of a speaker - a liquid movement of sounds.
The musical range covers it all: from a bright hymn by Bekeschus to some chunky dubtechno by Einklang Freier Frequenzen and then all the way back with some uplifting moments for the deeper floors by Reynold and multiple melodic house music sketches by The Marx Trukker.
All artists present their creativity at full volume ranging from outstanding soundscapes to visual sensations, making 'Liquid Garden' a total work of art.

Seaghdha is the result of crafting tracks specifically for the early morning warehouse dancefloor
Tapping into an electronic music heritage that has driven Sheffield's underground scene for over 20 years .
Referencing the American and European sound, but with its own unique style - a style that has been developed over many years behind the DJ booth & in the studio by Loshea
not to mention defined and refined in the space where they were dreamt up
He's one of the founders and residents at Downlo (At DanSane)- Sheffields most celebrated Warehouse party, tucked away on an industrial backstreet surrounded by cutlery factories and long since abandoned little mesters workshops.
Sheffield, over the last two decades has been the hub of the northern industrial rebirth through creative arts, and DanSane is carrying the torch to a whole new generation of people eschewing the mainstream and seeking out something with a little more heart and soul in the city.
Over the last year the space has certainly made its mark, with guests like Delano Smith, Levon Vincent, Efdemin, Dj Deep, Secretsundaze, Babyford, Dinky and John Daly all making the pilgrimage.
Limited to 10 releases it will be a document of this time, and it is hoped, a nod to the possible future...
