This time Tiefenrausch welcomes a new artist in their dub techno family. Förster joins the label with his Aqua Viridis EP and presents a debut with three tracks. As part of his - Grün series, every track stands for a different vibe of the genre. The A-Side comes with a pumping, reduced smasher, that definetely aims on the dancefloor. Side B brings more immersed deepnes. - Grün XV and - Grün XVIII evoke an abyss and enwind the listener with dublime deepness. All covered up by the artwork of Alex Ketzer and the imagery from Jules Vernes - 20.000 leagues under the sea .

The Invariants is a brand new label and production project from Amsterdam. The first release contains four tracks recorded in the fall of 2012. The new DIY label looks set to become a firm favourite with connoisseurs of the deep everywhere. The opening track of the debut EP is a wide-open bit of ambient soundscaping. Distant muffled voices, lush pads that stretch and smear in soothing, cerebral ways and sombre synths all make it a magical opener. The A2 is similar in its smooth textures but is underpinned by a warm, rubbery, thudding kick drum that propels things along at an inviting pace. The pads are just as emotive and serene, though, initially sounding insular and sorry for themselves before a little light and optimism does come in in the latter stages. On the flip, B1 is a much slower and lazier affair: crisp but icy hi hats are as far apart as the drums. Rippling chords roll in the foreground and a slowly emerging sense of groove gets fleshed out with richly reverbing claps and rising pads. Seriously moody stuff, the EP gets finished in real style by the deep, whacked out and mid tempo electro groove of the B2. Humid but run through with frazzled synths, there is plenty of pain as well as hopefulness in the tracks The Invariants create. On this evidence, this is a project that knows just how much is enough to really stimulate mind, body and soul.

Eclectic dance music activist Simone Gatto is set to release his debut album ‚Detachment' on New York based outlet Sheik 'N' Beik.

The album represents the path of life, the flow of time and the emotions occurring in human beings from their birth to death in an audio & visual experience.

Gatto's debut album also summarizes the artist's personal journey both musically and culturally. From a philosophical point of view Detachment is the process through which human beings implement a series of actions in order to search, find and maintain interior wellness. A means through which human beings can forget the capitalistic world and relive the essence of ethical values. Detachment is reuniting with its own spiritual sphere, allowing one to become immune to negative circumstances, imbalances, misconducts and pessimism.

Each track describes a way to relive, assimilate and react to events and memories of the past. This leads us to a stage of happiness and awareness, which is obtainable exclusively in places that are meaningful and in the company of people who are dear to us.

The album is punctuated by a lyrical voyage of discovery, including various elements of ambient music, electronic downbeat and techno. Simone touches sonorous and emotional extremes that are distant and deep at the same time.We encounter gloomy and luminous atmospheres, joyful and melancholic textures, loose and pressing rhythms characterize the audio visual journey throughout the twelve tracks. Feeling reminded of common life impressions, we experience the tracks like hybrids ranging between phases of tension, impasse, calm, wellbeing, discomfort, happiness and equilibrium.
The artwork and painting ‚Detachment' was commissioned by Giorgio Casu.

He worked to translate Simone's vision & feelings through the painting. Depicting emotions within a naturalistic scenery. While the painting will be showcased on the outside album artwork, the inside of the album contains a special collage from Simone's homeland which is an ideal location for spiritual isolation and full immersion in Detachment'.

The argentinian Gonzalo MD has just recently created a lot of buzz around his person with releases on the french
label Knotweed Records.
You can clearly hear that he has got his very own style of techno, his synths are very extensive and hypnotic
and his kickdrums are very sub-heavy.
The original of Northern Lights is the perfect example for those extensive synths.
Strck is has given his Remix his very own touch by using his typical loopy and ecstatic sounds.
Lee Holman converted the record into something faster and more hard hitting using the synths and highlighted bleeps.
on B2 and B3 we have two more of Gonzalos great original Records. Deep Purple is one hell of a banging, hypnotic
90s-Techno example while Modulat is pulsing rather deep using a lovely hatgroove.

Amandra completes the Ahrpe series by releasing his first album. Swedish artist Evigt Morker joins the project with a punchy edit.

Delsin present a new EP by B12 aka Steve Rutter entitled Orbiting Souls, a name which comes from the fact the veteran artist has recently spent contemplating the loss of a friend and believes we are surrounded by lost souls and spirits. This is B12's second EP this year following on from the Bokide 325 release on Soma Records and comes years after still acclaimed album like Electro-Soma and TimeTourist on Warp Records back in the 90s. Orbiting Souls is a somewhat complex journey, a representation of inner Bi Polar opposites; isolation; sadness, but also acknowledging the great and wonderful things around that swirl and support and energise us. A perfectly formed sound world that is both absorbing and cerebral and comes with a full colour sleeve by Boris Tellegen.

Max Würden invites to Transit, an intense ambient trip through lush sonic felds as well as dark sound tunnels. Atmospheric feld recordings invite their listeners to stay a while - right before the dub beats reliably push the tempo. So get in, take a seat and let yourself go. Your journey begins here.

Spring assist, rapid one-handed deployment, half-serrated stainless steel glass breaker for emergencies. Easy and safe carry.

RECORD STORE DAY 2016 RULES APPLY
For their first Record Store Day vinyl, Dusky's 17 Steps unveil a much requested club cut from the label bosses themselves in 'Buckets'. A dark, murky groover full of heaving basslines, swampy beats and cut-up soul vocals, 'Buckets' has been popping up in Dusky mixes for a couple of years, earning it cult status amongst their hardcore following and making it a perfect choice for a limited collectors vinyl. It comes backed with a twisted two-step remix from Swamp 81's Paleman.

Early support from Chris Liebing, Rodhad, Marcel Dettmann, Ben Klock, Len Faki, Blawan, Audio Injection/Truncate, Gary Beck, Josh Wink, Dustin Zahn and Jonas Kopp amongst others
After the Detroit remixes, this time Mattia shows the force of european techno in this big vinyl release.
Mastered and cutted at dubplates & mastering Berlin.

#N/A (literally, Nisennenmondai with Adrian Sherwood) is a new studio album which sees the cult Japanese trio filtering their epic motorik jams through the mixing desk of the legendary dub producer.
Nisennenmondai are three girls from Tokyo, Sayaka Himeno (drums), Yuri Zaikawa (bass) and Masako Takada (guitar), who have been playing instrumental music together since 1999. From their initial beginnings as a noisy no wave band openly referencing influences such as Sonic Youth, DNA and This Heat, they have since honed and streamlined their sound into a more minimalistic pulse with an emphasis on the hypnotic possibilities of repetition, creating a sound that can be likened to 'organic techno'.
Much beloved by other musicians including Battles, Prefuse 73 and Chris & Cosey (Throbbing Gristle), in recent years they have made more connections to dance culture, in particular with their 2015 collaboration live and on record with electronic producer Shackleton.
Recording their new album with Sherwood has resulted in them sounding bigger than ever before, with a greater emphasis on small rhythmic details and subtle dub touches, reminiscent in places of the classic Basic Channel sound.
This international edition of the album includes 2 bonus 'live dub mixes'. Whilst Adrian showed considerable restraint in his production job on the studio album, on a subsequent live date at Tokyo's Unit club he was recorded deploying a wild array of FX tricks, dropping in splashes of cavernous reverb and space echo delay to the performance of two pieces previous album N'.

This is the 10th release on Baum, and we welcome back Havantepe, who previous has released a track on Baum Limited Picture Edition. Havantepe is one of the most talented producers out of Istanbul, and always delivers tight solid productions. This time is no exception for him, as the two tracks on the EP is so well produced. 'War Cry' is a Deep Dub Techno track full of energy, and 'Revolt' is the perfect track to play in the end of a set, with its hypnotizing atmosphere.

The dancefloor has been at the center of our music production since the very beginning, but even then we felt the need to express something else.
The debut album "Unwise" represents our first step towards musical maturity.
This emerged out of an organic, natural process that was inevitably shaped by the contrasts between us of temperament and imagination.
Throughout production, the evocation of intimate feelings and atmospheres was an essential goal of this project.
Harmonizing an unlikely mixture of musical influences and inspirations, these tracks were composed along the edges of a few perfect parallels between us and countless wrong directions. WORDS by NATCH!

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.

180g vinyl, Borrowed Identity Remix

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.

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.

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.

As the world catches on to the music and live performances of Klartraum duo Nadja Lind & Helmut Ebritsch, the pair look to the release of their deep yet wonderfully eclectic second album 'Secret moon'...

Berlin based Nadja Lind & Helmut Ebritsch have been working together for over five years now, but it is in the last twelve months that the duo's Klartraum project has really come to prominence. Both Nadja & Helmut have a solid musical history recording for the likes of Darkroom Dubs, Soma & Morris Audio yet it is through their shared musical output that they have really captured the imagination, producing deep and moving electronic music that fuses elements of techno, house and electronica.

Out of the studio the duo have taken their sound on the road, performing as Klartraum live at London's Fabric, the infamous Ukrainian festival Kazantip and Goa's renowned Shanti club to rave reviews and rapturous response. In the coming months they will also be appearing at dates in Australia and across Europe.

'Secret Moon' is a rich and diverse collection of tracks that reflect Klartraum's journey since the release of their debut LP, 'Evolution' in 2011. From the opening atmospheric ambient recording of 'Berlin Intro' it's clear that this is not to be a straight-laced 'club' album but rather a body of work that ebbs and flows through styles and sounds with little regard for genre. Downtempo cuts such as the breakbeat based 'Something Wrong' or the off kilter 'Universe' add a depth and variety to the mix yet Klartraum's production skill and musical sensibilities work to make the album work as a whole. There is a deep hypnotizing feel to this whole album, keeping you locked into the experience as the album progresses. Tracks such as the epic 'Secret Moon' and the sublime 'Sell Your Soul' have an almost cinematic feel to them; drawn out, spacious and mesmerizing. Klartraum's 2011 debut was a real achievement but 'Secret Moon' takes things to the next level with a strength and energy that is tempered with an audible maturity of production.

Nadja Lind & Helmut Ebritsch have their own way of creating music, making much of both their spiritual leanings and their hands of approach to 'jamming' out tracks live. Whatever it is that drives them it certainly works, for Klartraum are rapidly becoming an act that cannot ignored, making great music and taking it to the world via their passionate live performance. Long may it last

New Analog Response 12" vinyl output has been composed by the italian artist Hydergine, a young guy clearly inspired by Basic Channel / Maurizio dub techno sounds, and a wide range of influences in the house/techno/bass fields.
After practicing in music production for years, he first released a 12" on the german label Separate Skills which rapidly sold out, leaving a strong mark in the dub-tech scene.
Recently, the austrian label Phlox showed another fine Hydergine release on translucent blue 12" vinyl,matching the taste of big names like Francois Kevorkian, Laurent Garnier, Brendon Moeller, Kirk Degiorgio, Anton Zap, Terry Francis, Roman Fluegel, Ethyl, Slam, Franklin De Costa, John Osborn and more.

Stamped White Label
You might remember Shan from his one-sided Sven-Väth-approved hit 'How You Want It' for Frankfurt's newly founded label The Healing Company. Here he is with his monolithic 'Chord Memories". An evocation of what dubbed out house and techno tracks usually do, but to a rather unusual and - if we dare say - devastating effect. The flip holds three short and direct cuts with leanings to the A-Side and one acid track. Necessary ruffness.

This release was born of a cross country trip with an 808 drum machine by Manchester and Sankey's Soap residents Jozef K and Winter Son as they join Perseus Traxx to hammer electricity out of machines With it's rimshots and claps and other transistor rhythms reverberating across vast distances of space, side A is stripped back and deep from the outset, pushing forward as scattered tones, arpeggiations and djointed voices leave their trails vanishing from perception. Side B tightens up from the previous reverbs and throws acid into the mix, as the two join Perseus Traxx and the sound becomes more raw and urgent as the three of them jam on their chosen machines.

Finest Dub Techno from Andy Stott. Limited to 700 copies worldwide

Recorded in the immediate aftermath of his last EP "Passed Me By", this new doublepack from Andy Stott features six new productions that are more desolate and exposed than anything on its predecessor.

Clear Vinyl

Andy Stott’s classic bout of screwed, knackered House is a shapeshifting, hardy perennial whose crushing traction and atmospheric grip has only deepened in the decade (+1) since it was first issued, as part of a now notorious one-two in 2011 beside ‘Passed Me By’. Out of print for almost a decade, it’s now finally available again in a new edition that’s still sounding unlike pretty much anything else we’ve heard in the intervening years.

’We Stay Together’ was a proper watershed moment for Andy Stott in the nascent phase of an inspirational stylistic arc. While he’d spent the previous six years constructing everything from warehouse-shuddering deep house and dub techno to bare-boned dubstep, the arrival of a new decade paid witness to Stott turning inward, collapsing what he’d learnt from late night sessions with the Modern Love crew into a radical new sound that was arguably without precedent in its field.

The simple move of screwing the tempo to circa 100BPM would, in turn, open out his sound, prising room between the rhythms which he coloured with a palette of particularly bruised, processed outside-the-box textures gleaned from an array of guitar pedals and endlessly churned samples. There were, of course, parallels in DJ Screw’s codeine-infused treatments of classic rap and soul, and their influence on the contemporaneous “witch house” style, but few, if any, were doing it within a techno and club music context that hewed so close to the darker, gristlier underbelly and animus of Manchester’s warehouse heritage. This style of viscous, cranky chug proved fertile ground that would be explored in-depth over the next decade - you can hear traces of it on everything from Overmono’s sludge to Low’s acclaimed 'Double Negative’ - and trust when we say it’s the source of it all. But, still, nothing twats quite as smart or heavy as ‘We Stay Together’.

From an opening that uncannily echoes the rinsed-out empty warehouse scenes in the closing stages of ‘Fioriucci Made Me Hardcore’, the serotonin-depleted ’Submission’ triggers a side-chained momentum that helplessly drags users thru the gnarly mire of ‘Posers’ to the zombied lurch of ‘Bad Wires’ and its title tune’s ket-legged strut. He pushes the aesthetics to asphyxiating degrees on ‘Cherry Eye’, but not without a glimmer of hope in its underwater choral motifs that always buoys his best bits from utter doom, before ‘Cracked’ stresses the metallic tang of his textures with a bloodlust and vital, systolic throb whose effect has only been galvanised with age.

More killer previously unreleased Barry Brown from Channel 1, from early '80s sessions that at one point were slated to make up his aborted second LP for the label.

After 15 years of full time dedication to the deejing art, Kristina launches out herself with her own label Amsafe Records (12inch + digital).
The idea of The label was born at the beginning of Kristina's career as a mandatory necessity, and her vision to create her own productions.
Amsafe Records will launch, in a 6 month time frame, the 2 first eps. One of them, the 'TRAXX1' will be available to purchase in 30 days. Triple Vision Distribution (NL) will be charge in of its worldwide distribution.
'TRAXX1' will be composed of three cuts that taken as a whole is 12inch, solid and with retro reminiscences.
On the A face we will find 'Dark Sinhoutte'. It is a track materialized with a progressive and incessant acid sound, assemble in a 3X4 chachis that reminds those first Proper NYC discs productions launched by Steve Stoll in the 90'. On face B the cuts are introduced by themselves with some roots and influences of Dub.
On the A1, 'Absolute' keeps in itself such influence, more reinforced with delays and arrangements that sometimes, recalls to Retro-techno sounds to finally give way for an emotional and synthetic line that reveals Kristina's influences from Electro.

On the A2, 'Frictional x/mix version', it shows up as a more lineal track characterized by the subtlety of the changes and the dynamism that converges at the end as a track with minimalistic characteristics. Some Congas and Toms, embellishes this track A2, without hesitation, it is a very useful track designed for more versatile sessions.

Tom returns to Run Out Run after his latest offering on Anthony Parasole's 'The Corner' with four cuts of his distinct take on Techno and House...

Limited release on chocolate brown vinyl

Delsin present a new EP by B12 aka Steve Rutter entitled Orbiting Souls, a name which comes from the fact the veteran artist has recently spent contemplating the loss of a friend and believes we are surrounded by lost souls and spirits. This is B12's second EP this year following on from the Bokide 325 release on Soma Records and comes years after still acclaimed album like Electro-Soma and TimeTourist on Warp Records back in the 90s. Orbiting Souls is a somewhat complex journey, a representation of inner Bi Polar opposites; isolation; sadness, but also acknowledging the great and wonderful things around that swirl and support and energise us. A perfectly formed sound world that is both absorbing and cerebral and comes with a full colour sleeve by Boris Tellegen.

Here comes the third EP by our new artist on Echocord Colour, the super talented Roberto Clementi from Italy.

Roberto is one of the most inventive and creative electronic music artists currently making his name known in the underground scene at the moment.

Roberto is mostly known for his releases on Soma, eps + album. He has also been releasing on Brendon Moeller's label Steadfast Records, and labels like Baum and Kontra- Musik.

Both tracks are super powerfull Techno tracks, full of deepness, heavy staps and dubby elements, perfect for the dancefloor.

Vinyl only - limited 250 copies clear and black vinyl no repress

PHORMA releases the second element in the REDUCTION series by Manchester based dub wizard JS with a loop-driven remix by the mysterious REMINISCENT MOOD project. Two deep dubby tools to work your mind!

Altren For SA017 Kangding Ray brings an EP defined by dexterity: Tempered Inmid. It is a record which balances the deepest drum with the most celestial synth, weaving a legend of both menace and tenderness. Possessed of an underlying hiss, the title track surges to dampen its muscular beat with a fabric of warm melodies. The discerning 'Dimien Andesso' is the Tempered's partner, shuffling with a considered high-end and off-kilter pads. On the flip KR ramps up the pace in introducing the mendacious thumps of 'Nuis Octury', which he twists into a fever. But emblematically KR once more tempers. Closer 'Ezerb Altren' conjures the image and emotion of an underground lake: depth, resonance, and total, glacial serenity.

Following on from a pair of Extended Players released in 2011 ('Passed Me By' / 'We Stay Together') Andy Stott returns to
Modern Love with 'Luxury Problems', an 8 track album of new material recorded over the last 12 months. Five of the tracks
on the album feature the voice of Alison Skidmore, Andy's onetime Piano teacher whom he hadnt seen since he was a
teenager back in 1996. There was no grand gesture in mind, it just sort of happened - but after almost a year of studio work
the result is really quite unlike anything you'll have heard from him before

Three in a row... Stephen Brown's up for his third Indigo release already. Already in the game for more than 20 years, he always achieves a particular and distinctive sense of grooviness, funk and soul in his music that nobody else ever can. The fact that a lot of DJs still play Stephen's tracks from 20 years ago underline how timeless his music is. Right here Brown delivers an EP that's variously fulsome and funky, skipping yet seriously weighty and tripped out and intergalactic, whilst the Antigone remix is full of nerve jangling texture and drum driven brut force.

Indigo æra presents the first solo release from Takasi Nakajima known from the duo Different World which he formed together with Claude Young.

Takasi Nakajima has been DJing and producing since 1994 and working as Different World since 2005. The duo was responsible for the track "Think Twice" a much talked about inclusion on Marcel Fengler's Berghain 05 Mix­CD. The track with it's unique classic Detroit feel, eventually got a full vinyl release on Indigo Aera. As live­ and DJ duo Different World, Takasi also released on Kirk Degiorgio's ART label in 2011, has remixed Octave One and has released remixes and originals on Kevin Saunderson's KMS Recordings. Now focussing on solo work after Different World have suspended activity, this new EP finds him in fine form.

'Basicmath One' is seven minutes of delicate ambient, suspending in mid air. 'Basicmath Two' is a deep and supple techno groove with starry night skies unfolding over tom­layered kicks and 'Basicmath Three' then gets more propulsive with its soul infused synths, straight hi­hats and classic Detroit vibes. A remix of it from Jasper Wolff & Maarten Mittendorff layers in a much heavier and more physical kick drum then 'Basicmath Four' drops into a more house leaning groove, but one that is riddled with lush pads, rainy melodies and futuristic atmospheres. Lastly, 'Solar System' is a perfectly spaced out sound world of intergalactic pads and scurrying melodies that is full of alien life but very human emotions. Blissful stuff from start to finish, it proves Takasi Nakajima is as fascinating when solo as he ever is.

Defeating apathy by creating his own world, Abdulla Rashims music thinks before it speaks. Untangeled energy and drive breathes life into the rigid rhythmic structures, where the wild, almost primal, core illuminates the heartfelt and soulful layers within in his music. This musical contradiction between thought and letting go, acts as the base foundation in Abdulla Rashim's music. As a celebration and as a aural development, Abdulla Rashim releases his 'Unanimity' LP on Northern Electronics in May 2014.

His 1st since relocating to Berlin reflects different modes of the dancefloor as filtered thru his metronome. Driving, atmospheric, & at times euphoric these narratives meld into an EP that carries the emotional colors of an album.

Finally Forthcoming on Hinge Finger (HINF8673) with a Head High (aka Shed) remix

Pitch black party music!

collecting orders for repress!
Debut album from Acronym.

Smoking hot next level cosmic house/techno tracks for the real headz. Kessel Vale's debut release on Tantaafl Planets after the great Joey Anderson release and delivers pure class for the dancefloors that understand! This one is gonna melt minds around the globe. Ltd supplies!

Polytone Recordings is back with a three-track EP featuring two originals from Orion and a raw remix from Johannes Volk. Title-track 'Gravity' simmers effortlessly over rumbling sooty percussion and drawn-out atmospherics to deliver a dynamic techno cut geared to the darkest dance floors while the Beatless version does exactly what it says on the tin - in fine ethereal form. Up for remix duty is Exploration head honcho Johannes Volk, known additionally for his quality output on Axis, Sistrum and more recently London's Tief Music. Johannes certainly delivers for the Frankfurt imprint utilising punchy drums, sharp modulations and oscillating synth lines to dish up a robust and hypnotic re-imaginging.

Acronym once again surfaces for five floating techno excursions on Abdulla Rashim's Northern Electronics.

THE MACHINES ARE ALIVE is an electronic music record label based in Madrid,Spain.Started in 2015 owned by Del Valle. We make music only with 'machines' and only make vinyl. Our 'machines' who will decipher the message we want to send. Only Analog. Only on Vinyl.

Second album from 1982 that saw African Head Charge working manipulated and vari-speeded 1/4 inch tape loops that were re-recorded back to the multi-track, soaked in reverb and delay, and then applied to the performances of the musicians, not to mention extensive use of found sounds and field recordings, hence the title

Parisian artist Nautil is a music student specialising in acoustics, signal processing, and informatics. His debut single, Canopée, utilises analog synths, sampling and personal recordings to emphasize the geometrics of nature and music.

On the A-side the lead track, Canopée, is a cavernous, pulsing, low-frequency techno colossus destined to hypnotise dark warehouse spaces. On the reverse Galdae is a propulsive tecnoid tweaker while Mue is designed for head rolling after hours with mesmeric synth drones suspended over a brain melting sub-bass pulse.

The anticipated second release from Los Angeles/Seattle imprint Slumdiscs comes in the form of a 12" from two artists who have each had a prolific year, refining their respective takes on dark electronics. Side A features three tracks from Italian producer Morkebla (Where To Now/Reckno). He utilizes ethereal synths to create vast, mind expanding soundscapes just as suited for club use as they are for deep meditation. Side B is provided by Portland artist Best Available Technology (Astro:Dynamics/Working Nights). Contained within is an experiment in variations and reductions that rewards close listeners with a glimpse into the slow decay of self-contained sonic ecosystems. ''Go Slumming'' marks the first full length collaboration between the two artists and showcases the best of their respective styles.
