david flores surfaces as audio injection with no key ep, two slabs of pristine techno for the new year. after owning 2011 & 2012 with over a dozen releases as truncate, audio injection flexes some production muscle to put out a sound that’s as huge as it is hypnotic. the a side features deep thought, a seven-minute obsession around a short melodic fragment that speeds at 130 bpm through a paranoid passage of beguiling rhythm. the b side features title track no key, a demolishing groove that builds and breaks but never lets go. machined percussion and tonal beats carve their way through an arena-sized rabbit hole with detail and dimension.

magic feet introduce three new artists on their first label sampler, as well as a remix from label owner craig bratley. the tracks cover various genres, taking their inspiration from house, italo, new beat and disco. first up is paresse, an alias of swedish producer ivan bergren. *the night before you came* is a hypnotic, evolving slice of future disco. craig bratleys remix shows craig indulging in his obsession with the world of analogue synths and sees the track taking in a deeper and darker direction. craig has also had a hand in editing *lost era* by kepier on the flipside, a track with a direct lineage to the belgian new beat sound. to round off the ep, we have soul tension, an alias of tony beardsley, who also produces as dark strands. *suburban life* is a superb take on the slo-mo techno sound.

this sound will definitely clear your mind and thats a promise! with great pleasure brouqade proudly presents dragosh, a highly talented young producer from rumania. his ep, five is uncompromisingly devoted to his obsession with snare and bass descending into the depths, there, where the beat sharpens the senses. vocals whisper unexpected secrets. dragoshs molecular, crystal clear sound beams directly onto the dancefloors. no detours.

jack dice is a new project from john twells and walkmaster flex, now releasing their debut ep for modern love. john twells, amongst very many other things, runs the type label and has been producing music of various different disciplines and varieties over the last 15 years. although hes never released anything on modern love before, hes a long time friend and associate of the label. walker is the manager of main attrakionz and has been djing with them for the last couple of years as the official green ova dj. jack dice is fuelled by an interest in bass, twells being a car audio nerd and walker having an obsession with 90s southern rap music. these are their first tracks produced together, who know what might follow.

the organ grinder made a lot of noise with his sought-after obsession track late last year. his unique and raw blend of deep house and uncompromising beats perfectly fits 4lux catalogue so, here the grinder serves you with 4 mighty dancefloor bombs. smiley face is a tough ravey club track with catchy vocals and blunt stabs. project features a collab with jessy allen resulting in a mesmerizing tune. universe is another pumping track reminiscent of early belgium rave music but then in a true organ grinder club-vibe. heaven is a smooth nugget with delicate strings, simple organ notes and atmospherical vocals.

last years tbg01 was charted by german djane ellen allien and broadcasted by gilles peterson of bbc-international fame - amongst others. the second installment (with the slightly confusing catalog-number tbg04) changes its appearance from white-label 12 inch in a black & white gatefold cover to heavy white vinyl in a multicolored disco-sleeve. the labels patron arthur boto conley showcases the work of obscure 1980s producer clifford trunk. the lo-fi dance and ambient tracks origin from a tape which was hand to conley by trunk during a brief encounter at düsseldorfs ratinger hof in 1986. depicted on the cover you can see italian designer ettore sottsass work for the fashion company esprits european headquarter which opened up the same year. clifford trunk was working for the sottsass associati from 1982 on and had a leisure time obsession for drum-computers and sample synths. what a serendipity! - limited to 333 records.

heralding from a rock n roll and jazz background vaal is not aware of the strict rules that define & guard electronic music. therefore vaal is not afraid to break them. sourcing tracks and samples became an obsession: from this was born a compulsion to write, experiment & develop original music that could be equally human, equally electronic. vaal exists in the dark of the city: the secretive curtained room that you can never quite peer into, the dark pulsating dancefloors of the underground. vaal has nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears & sweat. vaal is electronic, & vaal is a baastard.

with their feet firmly positioned on dutch soil, the heads and hearts of dam swindle are nonetheless rooted deep into the soul of the motor city, and this ep of finely crafted grooves on jimmy posters and huxleys fledgling saints & sonnets imprint is as brilliant a reflection of their obsession as you could expect. >the wrap around< combines a killer vocal hook with a silky line, but its the bassline that marks it out, coming in with a thudding bassline that twists itself into all manner of unfiltered goodness at the halfway point. >pain tomorrow< meanwhile prefers to let its skipping percussion do the talking with a bumping chord led groove that would put mcde to shame. the ep is rounded off with a killer remix of the title track from deleusions of grandeurs pattern select, turning in a sparse reworking which transforms the light original into a throbbing piece of basement house.

the impeccably talented organ grinder returns to the catapult records fold, with, believe it or not, only his 2nd solo single to date. the artists first sell out release obsession gained him some serious global attention with steffi charting the title in her 2011 end of year round up for clone. the organ grinder introduces vocalist jessy allen who will be a familiar name shortly with appearances on what i want by crst (forthcoming on valve records) and will also make an impression with her vocal contribution on the fourth studio album from high contrast the agony and the ecstasy on hospital records. for this outing he offers a simple and accessible track with an anthemic scope whipping up a combination of some serious teutonic funk and floor friendly, party-wise golden era of house vibes.

slow motion family proudly presents the rimshooters (massimiliano pagliara & rotciv). name comes from a special obsession for rim shot drum sounds, typically found on famous and legendary roland drum computers such as tr-808, 909, 707, which both of them had already used in their individual productions. the final result is a mixture of classic and vintage sounding tracks yet modern, through the use of old synthesizers and drum machines as well as software artifacts and techniques.

this sampler is strictly limited to 300 copies... the future disco series has become the essential collection for anyone with a house and disco musical obsession. the fifth volume: downtown express takes us on yet another journey into all the current must own dancefloor cuts. the limited samplers have become highly sought after collectors items in their own right by taking key tracks from the albums and exclusively making them available on 12inch vinyl. we open up with moon boots off my mind on the a side which has been tearing up dancefloors all over the world for the past month with its infectious 80s groove and chopped up longing vocal. as we flip over onto the b side metromony need no introduction having been nominated for a mercury music award for their album the english riviera. album track corinne has been remixed by super producer mario basanov who has kept the songs structure intact but given the record a dancefloor vibe that will feel a natural choice for 4am. finally something happened is a huge looping disco cut reminiscent of the late nineties, pittos instrumental remix makes it unrelenting and very effective on the dancefloor with its big build ups and even bigger drop

after a short production break, the russian techno duo easy changes (denis cast & kilrill silas) are back with a 12 inch on the berlin/london based label, mean records, run by cesare marchese (cesare vs disorder) & federico benedetti (onirik). the lion is also a good drummer fits in nicely with the labels love of minimal techno productions that feature original sounds, moody melodies and deep aural landscapes. easy changes gained recognition in 2007 with two back to back hit releases on foundsound records. in 2009, they were the first ep from nervmusic, a moscow based label that focuses on unconventional techno started by cast, silas and friends. seated comfortably between the avant-garde and the dancefloor, the release has something for everyone. the title track, the lion is also a good drummer is an epic, crawling minimal techno production filled with stripped down percussion and abstract found sounds perfect for after-hours. on the flipside is the uptempo, quirky and tribal burlesque, replete with spliced vocal samples, snares, cymbals, bleeps and claps. for the burlesque remix, french producer doubtingthomas shows off his lifelong obsession with percussion and its rhythmic allure with the addition of a trippy drum solo midway through the track.

nice price deal !!! the music of the cologne based duo kitbuilders can be described as electro with scifi-punkrock-energy and a grebo edge. a remarkable element in the tracks are the vocals of female singer ripley. in the kitbuilders-cosmos you will also find the sparks in their moroderphase, chris and cosey, neu and devo. but their music is not 80s retro stuff, they include a lot of futuristic and fresh elements in their songs. after a handful of 12 inch singles and compilation appearances on labels like electrecord, world electric, vertical and ersatz audio, >wake up< was the debut full length from the duo. the us magazine xlr8r called it >...an excellent hybrid of the past and present<. alongside american outfits like adult. and fischerspooner, kitbuilders are at the forefront of the worldwide electro revolution. equal parts moroder and liquid sky, the duo of benway and ripley fluctuate between adrenaline-rush bpm 909 beats, fluttering sci-fi arpeggiations and tense, sinister moodiness.

modularz is a label focused on re-inventing american techno and concentrating mostly on the grey area where bothtechno & house music have no separation. the fusion between new elements mixed with older influences have a strong identity with label and by incorporating these subjects as well as the obsession with all things modular its given the label a niche identity among the techno and international dance community. modularz 03 _ entrada ep a strong 4 track release that features 2 original floor driving tracks by developer & a mental banger from silent servant. included on the release is a track by truncate - contrast 2 which was completely reworked and manipulated by santiago salazar.

lol is a bit of an unusual project, its just a thing in its own right, its not for anything or anyone in particular, its just an lp made by three bored people who like music that sounds like it did before the advent of the internet. the project was recorded in the bedroom of a warehouse conversion in hackney wick (bedrooms can be incredibly creative spaces, seeing as most of us were conceived in one). they wrote about self-obsession, social anxiety, drug abuse, and failed relationships using pre-21st century recording devices such as vhs tape, 70s valve microphones, analogue synths, cheap argos catalogue guitars, and 80s drum machines.

i dont think i know, or heard of, anyone who share the same obsession in searching obscure disco records like kool dj dust (real name daniel savio). call him at any given time and he is in some flee market or second hand shop on the look-out for records. he even got an apartment just for his collection.
we talked about the idea of re-releasing >un-googable< music, old stuff that is not only very hard to find, but also so good that re-issueing it is an actual cultural necessity. dust tossed around with a few ideas and finally these three songs made the cut. we are very happy with them!
we hope you are too. we are also happy that we have the support on this release from so many djs. some of them being rune lindbaek, in flagranti, tim sweeney, horse meat disco, 6th borough project, parlour, dj rocca, bonar bradberry, parlour, hugo capablanca, cousin cole et al.

incl penner & muder rmx! klasse recordings returns for a third release, this time showcasing the talents of label co-owner and creative director, luca lozano. the eps title hints at the producers obsession with opposites, clarity and contrast, heaven and hell, life and death, cycles and patterns are emerging as repeating themes within lucas music.

whether hes producing singalong house anthems (la mezcla) or hard edged tech house (red tape), michel cleis obsession with sound has seen him garner a reputation as one of electronic musics most exciting production forces. with recent remixes such as tracey thorns >why does the wind?< and harrison crumps >deep down inside< still rocking dance floors aplenty, cleis next solo move has understandably been an eagerly anticipated one.

ahhhh, mr mark e. arguably the leading light in the resurgent obsession with all things disco and slo-mo, convincing über tastemakers like giles peterson, as well as countless weekend warriors with his sonic sorcery. conjuring up edits that were so much more than edits, dropping smash hits like the janet jackson rework on golf channel, and the magnificnet womack & womack re-do on jisco, and more recently becoming remixer du jour as well as crafting equally impressive original music, not to mention kickstarting this, his very own imprint! >special fx< weaves snatches of mid-eighties magic into a lengthy groove-out with that patented mark e throb, whereas >christo< drives us down a decidely more detroit bound freeway, sounding as it does like carl craig remixing prince, well. you dont need us to tell this is the real deal folks!

>central< is the first new technasia album in five years - and sure to be one of the musical highlights of 2010. the much-anticipated lp is powerful testimony to why technasia is one of the most respected acts in electronic music. taking its name from the hong kong metro system, >central< is an emphatic creative statement that marks a new milestone an evolving story. technasia mainstay charles siegling was in no hurry to put out an album: >i wanted to give my music time to evolve artistically before making a new record.< the result of his patience is the purest technasia album to date - a seamless interweaving of sounds, styles and moods.

our third release is introducing to you more intensely the musical personality of dairmount, founder & a&r of our the label. longtime independent music activist born in belgium (formerly known as philarmonix), dairmount is a natural born “freestyler” who embraced anything soulful & groovy since the late 80‘s, playing & travelling the world for 15 years. hamburg is the city where he settled down in the last 6 years and 2009 marks the accomplishment of his personal dream to found room with a view, shelter of his musical fantasies. friendship & challenge are two values that defi ne phil pretty well so it is no surprise that musical collaborations & versatility tightly express his musical approach and personal ethic. after displaying bass-ment tale, an old school house tribute produced with his partner in crime marino berardi, on the fi rst episode of the perspectives serie, dairmount is presenting subakuatik blues on his fi rst ep. recorded in 2007 with his good friend ralf petter, an “old cat” of the hamburg music scene, this track managed to capture the essence of these great studio sessions : phil’s natural obsession to create hybrid club material & ralf’s amazing engineering skills matching perfectly to create this sub-aquatic dream that resulted in the track name. lost in the world of analogue synths of ralf’s studio, they created a 9 minutes odyssey crossing the lines between deep house, disco futurism & detroit infl uences topped by a surprising “ravy” breakdown. phil approached naturally two of his longtime favorite producers to give their own perspectives of the timeless feel of the original : russ gabriel, who phil has always admired for the depth of his output on ferox, planet e or his own soul on wax, has signed a beautiful version of the track. extremely subtle & hypnotic, this remix is a true blessing & a great pride. mood music’s honcho sasse, old friend of phil, retouched with lots of love & care the track that he went crazy for and even realised 2 vers

minus has released a first rate selection of home grown artist albums over the past 18 months, with heartthrob, false and gaiser all creating long players of real substance and this trend is set to continue in 2009 with arguably the label’s most significant release of recent times. louderbach’s long awaited second album autumn represents another jump in the evolutionary cycle of minimal techno, having developed from the largely instrumental project that gave us enemy love into a fully-fledged song based outfit. as a result, autumn has a much deeper feel than its predecessor and indeed breaks new ground, with the dark metaphors of gibby miller’s often chilling vocal performances fitting hand-in-glove with the ominous landscapes and broken architecture that troy pierce constructs so effectively. drawing on shared influences such as bauhaus, coil and joy division, the duo have conceived an album of emotional depth and exquisite detail, appropriating the best elements of these early-eighties pioneers and reinterpreting them through a contemporary lens to achieve a perfect balance of style and content. it’s the result of an unspoken understanding that spans thousands of miles from their respective homes in l.a. and berlin and this distant intimacy is a naturally occurring theme throughout the album, manifesting itself as dark, twilight tales of melancholy romance, burning obsession and the slow, disintegration of desire

seamless recordings new offshoot seamless twelves which will concentrate more on vocal and uplifting house brings you a sampler of whats to come from the label. on this sampler we feature tracks by top quality producers such as matthias heilbronn (pdp ft inaya), jazzloungerz, greg stainer & central avenue people supporting these tracks already are atfc, roger sanchez, rocco, syke n sugarstarr, hector romero, alfred azzetto, tom de neef, martin ten velden, andy ward amongst others

part i of the 1991 megaseller in a special 180g double vinyl release.

>hazy bliss< an attempt to bring the joy and soul of early house to the 21st century, featuring the lovely vocals of sunni. >jefferson ave. 1989< a homage to detroit’s summer of love, harkening back to carefree days riding with friends and dancing the night away. >m.i. quickie< mister x’s tribute to the music institute, where he and dj bone’s love of dance music was crystallized into obsession. >because< something old becomes something new as pieces from various genres and time periods combine into something truly unique.. and only possible by mister x >cum 4 u (cum 4 me)< a taste of mister xs philosophy of psychosexual hyper-reality, where every sense is entertained and simultaneously stimulated. >loveclub quickie< a tribute to the infamous and hedonistic loveclub-dj bones first residency in detroit. >meltdown< a little dose of moody aural sex from mister x designed to stimulate both mind and body.

transmissions florales is massis first vinyl release. the density of the 808 drums reminds us this is synthetic from the start. but as the the swirling, phasing 7th chords and the crystal-like lead tones build up and blend with the laid-back wah-wah guitars, this simple song take us to some sensual, forgotten place with swaying limbs and flashing lights. with a few changes in structure and the timbre of the bass, the acid mix proposes an alternate scenario - gliding to the edge of madness with a wink at raving in the late 80s. are we in the disco? or at the seashore? keep on moving, keep on flying. bionic gulls call to each other over the oceans arpeggios. >alpha base< uses a similar synth palette, but with quite different results. rather than waves, this piece seems to evoke dramatic weather over a jagged terrain. the funky, syncopated bass and percussion remind us of some ancient tribal ceremony on parched soil. odd sound effects imitate the heat and sudden shots of lightning, while the ascending pentatonic breaks suggest a primitive electronic geisha, draped in mylar foil, deflecting the suns rays as she dances for the gods. she performs an intricate sequence of steps, each with its own placement and hidden meaning… having spent the past 2 years entertaining crowds at underground clubs in berlin and around the eu, massi is already somewhat known to those who enjoy dancing to whatever is eclectic, energetic, and atmospheric. now, perhaps more people will hear his special groove. we hope you share our joy, our obsession… and the particular oscillations from this very personal >transmission florale<

return of the cocoon-proof techno don! some phat business from jaceks underwater lab - yet another exercise in his very own concept of combining minimal groove with maximal sound spectrum. and it works: solid mid-tempo rhythm carries what seems to be a thousand of layers of sound. meaty, bouncing bass stabs intertwine with washes of synthetic melodies, while percussion drops and unidentified samples swirl around in this bio-robotic monster of a tune. >green river< takes jaceks minimal obsession into cold outer space, where you can hear the planets spin and the only hope seems to be coming from a dying communication device... cold, stark and haunting, this is either work of a madman or truly the future now

on the genre smashing what she wants, metrics productions have become more assured, as have the range of influences he brings into his music. inspired by everything from jacques le cont and daft punk to his obsession with bad 80s records and krautrock rhythms, metric chops up the beats n vocals here like if he were prince signed to ed banger. slamming tracks like oh percolate with ironic electro pop synths and brash hip hop attitude, while breakin hearts seduces with chunky guitar glitch given the trademark metric acid wash. the e.p.s cheeky power culminates in the title track, what she wants, a squelching dancefloor stormer whose chunky hooks bring rude rock intensity to electronic club thump
