Following the incredible success of 2014's Lunata (SR 004), John Beltran's first ep, Soul Research returns with his melodic tunes. Techno which emanates emotions and breathes Detroit in and out in rhythmical arches.
Israel is a journey to faraway lands, with both hypnotic and melodic tunes while Achva resounds ambient and techno filled with pathos.

250 copies only. Antwerp’s Stadspark: a once-thriving triangular cruising ground, and still an occasional recreation site. These days, however, the only flash you are likely to get is that of a police badge. Linger on a bench too long and brave the consequences; to fester at home is best. But the animals just proliferate. Unwanted domestic pets – gerbils, rabbits, mice – dumped in the night in Logan’s Run; no one knows how and when this unsavoury practice was begun. To his astonishment, The Administrator once reported seeing a raven swoop clean from the trees and scoop up a guinea pig in its claws. The guinea pig was not heard from again. Reborn real estate: in the bushes, militant structures don sportswear shades, and a club scuppered by arson emerges as a generic phoenix –
the Grand Café Capital. That chip on the shoulder of second cities. Not to deny the park its stately airs: fin-de-siècle street lamps, precious steel suspension bridge and the whole beguilingly
prehistoric as seagulls soar and light irradiates the lake. Desiccated one summer, pumped artificially after protest, sans the resident black swans. A former fortress now offering fourteen
hectares of jogging excellence. The playground is cordoned off with crime tape.

JAY LUMEN, one of the most quickly developing producers and known for his dynamic, pulsating grooves and pleasant vocalic tunes is back again on 100% Pure. After having caused mayhem with his eleven earlier releases, he has proven to be labelled as one of the most famous and internationally appreciated artists of the electronic dance scene.

Jay first became inspired by his love of classical music but has been scorching the international dance scene with his unique fusion of different genres for many years. Be it techno, house or tech house, Jay always creates something special with a distinct sound, containing all the Jay Lumen trademarks: originality, dance ability and energy.

Now our hero is back to save the day with Elysium EP', with Street Stuff ((D.T.T.H)' bringing some old-school house sounds back to the dance floor, and the signature Lumen' style rolling Techno groove Elysium'.

Central presents a unique recipe for the perfect DJ cake! Ingredients: 8'26'' of techno stepper, 5'45'' of masterful d'n'b and 4'05'' of ambient inner peace. Serve it hot with vanilla ice cream!!

DJ Arg doesn't fuck about and neither does Dream Ticket, so this was a match made in heaven. And it turns out in heaven they have plenty of boxes and a whole lotta energy, just like DJ Pierre back in 1988 and Richard Bartz (a fellow acid scout) in the mid-90s. But this is 2019 and DJ Arg is talking to you, yes YOU, and as a Real Motherfucker he does not! talk! shit!

Nathan Micay introduces a new label into the Schvitz family: Eternal Schvitz, a home for re- issues of those most rare slabs of wax. The inaugural release offers a sampler of coveted tunes from the fabled Baby Blue Records run by Chris Simmonds between1990-1993. Almost impossible to find, these tunes have become a thing of discogs legend, offering up a snapshot into the label's short but memorable run. Lovingly re-stored straight from the DAT tapes of yore. To fight the evil no-ID-DJ forces currently at work, every release will be providing 60% of the cut to the artists and ensuring their credits are front and centre. The remaining 40% of profits will go to aequa, a Berlin-based collective with a focus on empowerment of women, trans and non- binary folks through gatherings for interpersonal exchange. Schvitz is Love. Schvitz is communal.

Over a decade after the first LiveJam collaboration surfaced - on a strictly vinyl-only basis - an entire cosmos of interconnected artists, labels and releases have spawned off its mystery - a perpetual praising of the shadows that is less and less present within the underground. At its core, it instilled an ethos and a clear aesthetic both for the label’s regulars, and for the wider house and techno spectrum as a measure of quality. The initial collective, led and curated by founders EMG and John Swing, gave rise, together with the Analogue Cops, to the tirelessly anonymous APPOINTMENT project - an improvisational, techno-minded session - and the SPS moniker that includes talented producer Battista, with both sets of crews making a return after a long break from the label. Ten years later and the cooperative expands, finding mutual respect and admiration among two heavyweights of the UK house and techno ecosystem - house maestro, Mr G, for the former, and British techno luminary, Ben Sims, for the latter. Even so, this remains consciously limited to vinyl, and while they now have official support from two of dance music’s legends, it’s been earned through a dogged pursuit of Livejam’s founding principles. Simply, a physical production ethos from conception through to performance.

art-aud is proud to welcome to the label the legendary hungarian trio and acid boyband, Wedding Acid Group, for the first output of the new year! They started jamming together at Ballacid Studio in ?jpest around 2009 and did some live gigs, when then they finally released their first thing on tape on Farbwechsel in 2014. They are back now so, after 6 years, with some new fresh material (for the first time on vinyl !), two tracks of pure analog fun, mixing frequencies that are satisfying both for dancefloor and listening pleasure...straight acid for mind, body and soul. To make everything more crispy and fat, we called also on board two other giants such as rephlex alumni EOD and Clone/SHUT knight Ryan James Ford, that brought amazing own interpretations of the ogs. what more to say? it would not be up to us to tell it but... this is a BUY ON SIGHT : )

2 heavy underground bombs on limited hand stamped wax...

Empfänger stay in the sewers like TMNT. Back with four tracks of their crackbrained EBM - DISKO.

The third reference in Concerns Music LTD has two original tracks by Kalter Ende and two remixes by Orphx and Manni Dee. Pure techno.

Wetsuits at the ready! Canoe 009

An experimental minimal track. It is a concept unit by Ko-Ta and Kiyokazu Hamawaki also known as Liiebermann, a debut work by RAV. Experimental minimal track with original electronic vant-garde free key electronic sound.

Ausgang 006 produced by Roseen.
Part 1, which is part of a series of 3.

BTAIM resumes its line of raw techno templates with a pair of stripped-back but funked-up floor killers. Promising Berlin-upstart Tecture draws inspiration both from his hometown as well as Detroit, delivering two highly effective yet emotive club weapons. Their bold basement vibe may seem grim on the surface, but they glimmer with hope underneath. It is this very interplay between murk and melancholy that embodies the record with dynamic textures and a narrative. In similar fashion Trevino pairs imposing low end rumble and bright arps, reworking the title track into his own DnB-reminiscent signature style. With the addition of BTAIM006 to their catalogue, both artist and label have placed themselves on this year's watch lists for sure.

"Tensal - Graphical" album split.

Al Wootton continues pushing the Trule sound with the Operator EP. Spanning from the Ragga Garage of Levi, the UK Techno Breaks of Teresa, the UK Funky/dubwise stepper of the title track Operator and the minimal 2 step techno of Franz. All primed for the sound system and the dance floor.

Tom Wrankmore previously recorded under Eliphino and now launches new project Automne.
Automne has a two diametrically opposed themes within it, natural balance and transition and machine like, automated.
Music will explore the interplay between these two areas.

Desroi cuts his unrivaled skill to combine power and pace into four new tracks again. "Vermillion Border" draws from a dazed palette of concise and forceful sounds and thus raises the bar on his lasting run of EPs.

Tightly oscillating and resoundingly austere, the EP has its moments of stormy brutality that punctuates the mesmeric synth cycles to inspiriting elation. "Bright Blood" and "Gauze Covers Flaw" appear tethered at the base by cavernous low end and heady drum machine programming which drives the work.

Closing track "Empty Eye" might present Desroi's most funky work to date, rounding the EP off with a single warping synth motif shifting through sonic spheres.

A year since his tremendous debut release, Swiss artist ElektroBopacek's second LP entitled Space Adventures surfaces for Madrid based retroverts Mystic & Quantum, where he throws down some epic arpeggios that Bobby Orlando and Alden Tyrell alike woulds stand up and notice. Definitely one for fans of classic Dutch electro on the likes of Viewlexx and Kommando 6 or early Creme Organization. Highlights for us weren't limited to the explosive opener "Space Pilots" which sounds like Giorgio Moroder on speed, the infectiously feelgood Italo disco vibes of "Beyond New Frontiers" and the explosive closing track "Asteroid Pursuit".

Following the watershed madness of his ‘Yield’ tape for V I S, Meandyou. co-founder Herron unbuckles in rude and fractious form for Peder Mannerfelt Produktion, alongside the bossman’s
own remix.
Where Herron’s music was mostly 4-squared and greyscale until recently, it’s now rambunctiously off-kilter and swirled with iridescent electronics that appeal much more to our heads at least.
‘Billy’s Walk Home’ epitomises this new energy in a swarm of swanging electro and fizzing automated FX, while ‘Throwing Mud’ sounds like classic T++ swilled with gravel, and ‘Losing Spirit’
parries with chewy acid electro recalling Gescom, and ‘United Walls’ sidesteps into stranger eldritch folk melody and crunching vintage AFXisms. Bravo, lad. Peder Mannerfelt is also on hand
to resculpt ‘United Walls’ with a bolshier techno pressure.
Strong stuff!

Exploring the hidden crevices between the hardcore continuum, muscular house and vintage techno, Hugo Massien delivers four tracks that crackle with energy and intensity on the 'Ghost Note EP' - released December 5 on Dusky's 17 Steps.
Having previously contributed EPs to the legendary XL Records and DJ Haus' E-Beamz, Hugo's unique sound has won him fans as diverse as Roman Flügel, Shed, Bicep, Annie Mac, Batu, Maya Jane Coles and, of course, Dusky themselves, who previously signed his 'Restart The Sun' to last year's Floor To Floor compilation.
A sign of Hugo's instinctive knack for genre mutation, 'Ghost Note' signals a clinical groove hybrid of rolling jungle breaks and cyborg acid fire. Contrasting the breakbeat vibes with a stripped back techno surge, 'Speak To Silence' pulses with industrial soundscapes and clipped acid oscillations. Elsewhere the broken beat cinematics of 'Broke The Cycle' provide a more meditative excursion that blends rave motifs with classic ambient references, whilst the Transmit-nodding 'Messier 77' closes the EP out with vintage Detroit vibes.

Entering into a new year, Priori and Ex-Terrestrial announce the birth of a techno-focused sub-label, Garmo. Launching on 6th March, the pair come together under new alias, Ntel, to release ‘Dilution Effect’ EP. Garmo is music of the microbiome, uncompromising rhythms of the Natural-process. Artwork by Jesse Osborne-Lanthier.

4-track collaboration project between UK producers Ossie & Greymatter. Dancefloor house, techno and disco with distinctive raw, lo-fi sonics. Between them they have released on labels including Hyperdub, 2020 Vision, WOLF Music, Brownswood, Black Butter, Exploited and many more.

Greymatter is also a key figure at the legendary Mr Bongo record label. This release follows on from Greymatter's third full-length album 'No Blood Without', released in April this year to critical acclaim. 'Video Freaks' was originally penned for the album project, held back for this project. Ossie continues the momentum off the back of two EPs this year - "Space Odyssey" on his label SuperCali and "Milk" via Exploited Records.

Special shout to Matt Neale and Stu Clark for making this project happen.
