part 2 of the ep kicks off with *domino* a track thats bassline drones underneath its own distinctive synth line to keep the drums rolling along steadily. the title track *black leather* is everything you would expect in a drumcode record, a subtle throbbing bass line which, keeps the track moving before the synth stabs enrapture the track and twist it into a dark, throbbing composition

growing up in the deep south of germany with multi ethnic friends and big interest in many different music genres of the world, borrowed identity built his wide knowledge in music. this variety in his musical taste is also the reason why he is working under different aliases producing a big variety of sound from ambient to house to experimental music and everything inbetween.

but that the cocoon compilation l is all about love, is beyond debate: the love for electronic dance music, for its complexity and its diversity, the love for this global musical language and last not least the enthusiasm for the well-known and the still non-famous protagonists of this tonal romance that faithfully accompanies us through night and day for more than 30 years now.

it is the collaboration we have all been waiting for! the careers of both catz n dogz and eats everything have been intrinsically linked since the polish duo debuted the incredible mr edible via his agenda-setting *entrance song* on pets in 2011. their relationship was compounded by dirtybird dynamics, both acts sitting on the fringes of house and techno, neither side shy of the rich taste of bass, the work of both eats everything and catz n dogz has always sat side-by-side… but never together. until now.
two instantly distinctive, unmissable originals. one killer remix. they say it is a dog eat dog world. well not anymore… welcome to the crazy world of catz eats dogz.

jose cabrera and fred p split the first installment of the perception series. the determinism ep sees jc and fp giving their slant on principles of quantum level events through sound. raw and driving, this ep is a more than an adequate dj tool, it is a formula for the transportation of the subconscious. determinism is a metaphysical philosophical position stating that for everything that happens there are conditions such that, given those conditions, nothing else could happen. “there are many determinisms, depending upon what pre-conditions are considered to be determinative of an event.” deterministic theories throughout the history of philosophy have sprung from diverse motives and considerations, some of which overlap. some forms of determinism can be tested empirically with ideas stemming from physics and the philosophy of physics. the opposite of determinism is some kind of indeterminism (otherwise called nondeterminism).

skylax records, the company focused on realeasing original obscure dance classic and everything that sounds fine to their ears! for this 34th release, we give you the opportunity to grab 6 fantastic trax done by nick beringer. straight from germany, this talented producer delivered some of the best deep house music around. entitled *the second floor ep* (after the 1st floor ep out on wax classic 4), it starts with *afterhour cut 1* which is one of those eminently soulful house tracks with a sparse approach to production, all the elements sounding so crisp and distinct in the mix but judged perfectly.

every label has a >release of doom<, a 12 inch that was an incredible pain in the ass to put together and where everything imaginable went wrong. well this new trevino record was it! i wont go into details but this ep is too good to let bad karma prevail. >gone< has been a staple in my sets ever since i first heard it and >regnie< is possibly one of the best nighttime highway driving tracks (try it!). trevino, is he the best golfer in techno, or the most innovative techno producer on the golf circuit? fact is, im so happy this record finally sees the light of day and would be even happier if youd be into it too...

vicissitude - zu deutsch wandel, wechselhaftigkeit, unbeständigkeit - ist der titel des neuen, dritten albums von maps alias james chapman, das anfang juli auf mute erscheint. schwang im zweitling *tuning the mind* noch der hedonismus des mercury price nominierten erfolgsdebüts *we can create* nach, vermittelt das wunderschöne indie-rock/pop-album *vicissitude* nun die unmittelbare konfrontation chapmans mit der realität: *writing and recording coincided with quite a lot of things in my life changing. although things are good for me now, every song on the record comes from a long period of me having to take stock, to start again almost. i took myself out of everything and had a hard look at what i wanted to do and where i wanted to take maps.* den letzten feinschliff der platte übernahmen produzent und sound engineer ken thomas (sugarcubes, m83, sigur ros), der zuletzt auch an *we can create* mitarbeitete, und sein sohn joylon, der schon als programmierer und produzent für bands wie s.c.u.m. und telepathe aktiv war.

once again, raphaël laredo slipped through the authorities fingers: he does not care about the rules anymore, he infringes the standards and delivers us an ep beyond the correct and required limits! the only indication, its address: the club -akasha-.
rafaël murillo is already there, armed with a bomb. despite everything, laredo is a believer, he knows all the good and the bad theories. he insists on involving us, from the top, on the traces of the plot -crop circles- supported by the strong foundations of his brother, gaffy. the tech house spirit of laredo glides between paris and barcelona. eloïse oddos totally seized it when she designed the amazing record sleeve of crop circles for seconde.

betsy just stood there with her mouth wide open. those two guys where fencing each other up and down the stairway. they took 20 steps, back to back, then they turned around, smoothly from the hip, firing magazines at each other. then 10 steps and then 5, both where still standing. they beat each other to a pulp until the blood came out and then until no blood came out and still none of them hit the ground. betsy did not dare to move, even when the duelists finally went away in opposite directions she still stood there like a curtain rod. she cautiously moved her eyes to the left, cautiously meved her eyes to the right, everything seemed to be safe. then there was this flicker of light in betsys sunglasses. they came back.

für ihren nächsten törn hat die crew von acker records eine polnische skipperin angeheuert, die den exotischen namen an on bast trägt. mit heiterer leichtigkeit steuert sie seaman with a lap dog durch die schweren, wogenden subfrequenzen, angefeuert vom hypnotischen ruf der seeleute. für das minimale everything is possible navigiert sie entlang einer dichten wand aus brummendem bass, im mysteriösen zwielicht zeichnen sich geisterhafte klangfiguren ab. nach einer schwungvollen wende übergibt die fahrensfrau das ruder an mollono.bass, der seinen remix zu seaman with a lap dog unter straffer rhythmischer takelage in einen geheimnisvollen melodienebel manövriert. und die fahrt ist noch nicht zu ende, für die gemächliche passage durch das surreale bermuda-dreieck der klänge übernimmt erneut an on bast das kommando. so endet die reise mit ferret stories da, wo sie begonnen hat, in aufbruchstimmung und mit fernweh. achtung - everythings possible enthält starke krissel geräusche - dies ist so gewollt !

*bastard child of house* is a tribute to chicagos most famous record store. inspired by a video about some native chicago guys working at the store, peter schumann and kareem decided to set words to a tune and create their own version of the story. they asked their buddy dcnt if he could add his interpretation too. and so it happened that words became sound and sound inspired more sound and as we speak everything turns into words again. with both versions the tooliness is very obvious, while the original is organic and warm in terms of tone and sound design, the dcnt version has a more technoish feel and relies heavily on its edgy and straightforward character.

kolortown is probably the best deep dub act in the world right now, drawing heavy influence from oldschool reggaedub combined with contemporary musical expressions and technology. this ep is a masterpiece in dubtricks, layering & tapebouncing and contains plenty of variety in moods, everything from cluboriented 4/4 steppers to late night chill out when the lights are out. this release shows the true skills of producers xoki & hieronymus here brought to a wider audience, and is comparable to the likes of massive attack and portishead. dont miss out on this part 3-its quite extraordinary!

take a long and wistful stare out of routines window. beyond the urban sprawl and endless nine-to-five tape loop, pass the minds monotonous prattling and humdrum hum of breadwinning, losing and general existing, somewhere out there burns a summer eternal, with all its romances still in tact. a place full of sweaty nights and protracted lazy days where the breeze teases with salty lips, and the sun leaves its freckled kiss on basking knees and cheeks. this is where everything happened just so, where bittersweet memories were made and mistakes first revealed their lessons. here is where you can think, reflect or simply escape. here is your exit.

a surprising house release, muredo, an ep with a generous acoustics in which the rythm is frontal but the story is told just behind. the raf are two habitual offenders of the well done track. when the muredo track slowly wakes you up and meticulously tries hard to describe the morning gestures, murefa carry on with a breathless ride. the second inspiration is only taken when everything had come to an end, in a calmness orchestrated by val at the helm of an abstract groovy remix. this ep is the first signature on the recent french label seconde and a lot of things are supposed to come soon.

2013 is the debut album from justin velor, a vibrant technicolor collision of styles (you might call it a musical dr. frankenstein, he says) incorporating everything from vangelis-inspired synth drones and nocturnal acid house rhythms to tender folk melodies and psychedelic flourishes. >i wanted to make a fantastical soundscape with colourful dynamics and a soul,< he explains.
