the new vinyl release by stefan gubatz features unreleased new dance floor versions of his tracks >byte and scratch< and >offshore< (which had originally appeared as electronic versions on cd) which appear now exclusively for the first time on the telrae vinyl 10 inch series as reworks. >byte and scratch rework< generates a subtle form of urgency which slowly step by step takes possession of yours and does not loose its grip till the very end. stefan has reworked the original for the club, has kept many details in the process of the sound shaping while on the other hand has changed the arrangement and dominance of key sounds very skillfully. he has transferred a piece of electronica into an intense piece of dub techno. >offshore rework< is the counterpart of >byte and scratch rework< being much more ease and repetitive... more in the fashion of some of stefans 10 releases on telrae before

the 7th release on aniara marks the debut of henrik bergqvist from stockholm, sweden. two tracks of no frills, hands-on house, made with unbridled love for music, machines and the simple joy of dancing your ass off. a-side *go for what hurts* is all about the strings and the slamming beat, propelling you into the early morning vibe, while the b-side *spin* has what can only be called a truly irresistible groove. it is the type of track that takes the party from a simmer to a rapid boil!

christopher rau has been impressing people since a while! here three tracks that impressed the junk yard connections crew a while ago on a mix tape, not knowing what it was, or who it was! finally they tracked down its origins and found out that it was unreleased tracks by christopher! now finally these tracks see the day light! inter alia, *the green bean*, which has some of that sexy swampy house vibe like theo parrish or stl can do. on the flip its *some song* with its more techier vibe, somehow with an atmosphere reminding of model 500s classic starlight. and last but not least the b2 track no chatter with its up beat house vibe. amazing tracks that are the first tracks on the label from outside the jyc crew. tracks that are here to stay on valuable wax. another cool junk yard connections release.

all tracks written & produced by ark (guillaume erroyer) and pit spector (pierre deniel) 4-track package from exciting new duo ark & pit spector. made up of brothers ark, the parisian known for his pioneering releases on perlon and karat, and pit spector, an up and coming producer, they join forces on their debut ep for eclectic label hold youth. true to the hold youth ethos the ep calls on a number of different influences, from the smooth, funk-led vibes on tournsoul, to the techno-inspired sounds of seuils remix of the nuts. ark & pit spector explore all that is sexy and hypnotic through the subtle but effective all green, while more down-tempo the nuts is verging on 80s-esque wonky-pop. seuil steps up for his take on the latter and delivers a dark, murky and all together sinister version of the original, adding a pulsating bassline to compliment the stripped back edit of the vocal. forward-thinking and open-minded sounds, old futur is another worthy addition to the hold youth catalogue.

vae victis cant hide their love and passion for raw house and techno. on this 5th release there is another fine selection of hybrids between styles perfectly expressing their love for genre bending music. durant exsists out of a small collective of producers with main roles for steve murphy, die roh and lucretio. the dove ultimatum, a 4 tracks ep of punchy analogue electronic music! on the a-side lay general motors and at ten, 2 broken beat electro techno tracks a la drexciya showing the hardest and most experimental side of the project. while on the flip the trio bring things on a housier field, though staying loyal to the a-side vibe by delivering 2 dark and obsessive raw house tracks.

easily recognizable by his impassioned johnny cash-meets-charlie feathers vocals, the french-born don cavalli began to get any notice in the greater music and blog community when he released his full-length *cryland* (2007), which featured his amalgamation of swamp blues, lo-fi pop, country gospel, and early rock & roll. in 2013, don cavalli will release his new studio album *temperamental*, staying on blues track while dismantling the traditional codes of the field. indeed, thanks to an old fashioned sound take and a contemporary production, don cavalli makes his new album sound old but incredibly modern. and if *temperamental* goes through many kinds of sounds, in the end it always goes straight to the point: a unique cajun blues from the bayou serving a soul and sophisticated voice. a must-have!
cd-copy of the full album included.

rainer veil are liam morley and dan valentine, two friends who met while studying contemporary music in the north of england. the pair began improvising and making drones in a dark basement before incorporating a broader palette and forming rainer veil as an ongoing concern last year. *struck* is their first ep and debut for modern love, following an appearance at the label boiler room takeover in august 2012.

mule musiq now proudly presents eleven unreleased compositions by roedelius produced between 1990 and 2001. all of them are pearls of electronic deepness that show another side of the man that lives in the little lower austrian town baden. his famouse ultra sweet piano melodies can be heard – but they are not the centre of the productions. instead a more electronic side of his genius call the tune. with a minimalistic approach he let synth melodies highfly while some droney, melancholic atmospheres enlarge in the background.

nice price deal !!! every once in a while a particular record will land in our laps which we have very little information on but usually somebody will unearth its origins after a bit of homework and more often than not it turns out to be a relatively well-known producer operating under a new and secret pseudonym. what we are looking at here however, seems to be quite the enigma. one can only speculate as to who watkins & almadovar might be.

vinyl only release, limited to 250 numbered copies.
noel jacksons hypertone drops this banging 4 tracker from up & comer flystereo! the title track is a sweeping groove with great low end. contact follows with a house rhythm & eerie muted bells. on the flipside, electra brings an airy dubbed out feel while remains kicks up the energy for dancefloor heat!

rummage in some boxes of my favourite record store i found a cover that made me curious. l kubic & tagträumer² - the only thing in this world and on the flipside a remix by alle farben. when placing the needle at the beginning of the vinyl the first sounds were very strange. i thought that must be a record from the 60s lost in the tech-house box but than a straight beat turned everything different. a piano melody slowly sat down firmly in my ear and i was longing to know where the journey takes me. after a while an acidline pushed everything and i was sure at this time this is not a normal 4/4 tech-house record. alle farben remixed the themes very playful and i heard that he gives the elements more pressure for the club. so at the end i bought this one and i cannot imagine taking this unique record ever again out of my record case.

eight tracks from one of the worlds leading up and coming producers on two 12 inches in a picture sleeve. initially coming from a background in the musically raucous worlds of 2 step and garage, synkro has, over time, developed a sound that is altogether more introspective, more emotive and more emotionally complex. stepping up here with his second release on legendary apollo records, synkro delivers eight tracks that - while retaining some of the stutter and swing of garage, are far more rooted in the textural world of ambient music for which apollo is famed.

good things come to those that wait, that rings true of this, the most anticipated release on vitalik to date. the jedi house ep has been a while in the making and on listening you can immediately hear why. each high hat, each snare, each kick is meticulously crafted.
dj support: ashley beedle / jimmy edgar / andre lodemann / ralph lawson and many more.

robot needs oil debut on taste of honey! fantastic e.p. suitable for any situation. traveller is a great deep-track with a country sound, while walks the night is more dark, as if to remind the atmopsfere of the 80 . limited stock!

we are super stoked to have this killer ep out on local talk as we have been big fans of both c.r.s.t. and chesus productions for good while now. as these guys are down with both house music and the uk garage scene we get served an ep that combines the best of both styles. the result is a jacked up house release that would work equally well at the classic new jersey zanzibar club or in your dirty london basement club. the first three tracks (monster munch, newark and life) takes us on a deep and jackin house trip with a bouncy garage twist. but to stir things up a lil extra the last track (special) goes all disco with some soulful philly samples ... perfect for the southport weekender crews!

while a series of projects are slated for release under the dirt tech reck banner, the first is the electric street orchestra. its inspiration is from those who are called street people. forgotten people from a forgotten city. it has also steeped in the detroit tradition of ignoring the notion of genre and taking a broad range of elements and inspiration to create something that is both new and familiar. bringing together a constellation of detroits sonic masters. dtr-01 takes urs mad mike and agent chaos, house music king theo parrish, hip hop/house percussionist dez andres, and rock/funk master guitarist duminie deporres, and joins them through the lens of jeedo’s vision of the future

agile recordings cat. n. agile015 artist, uto karem title: wherever the bass takes me uto karems double dose of juiciness keeps the bounce going and the rhythm rolling while justifying the eps title in full.

this is a joint venture of up and coming paskal & urban absolutes and house veterans henry l & ingo saenger. all 4 producers are connected by their penchant for deep and raw house music, while living quite far apart in berlin (b), düsseldorf (d), dortmund (d) and koeln (k). paskal & urban absolutes recently released on the highly respected sonar kolletiv label among others, whereas henry l and ingo sänger released on their own farside label and have been playing house music all life long. the 2 original tracks plus the 2 remixes are all sexy swingers! welcome to 2013!

red-hot reissue of 1981 epic party jam *equality* by five points. the only record ever released on rissa chrissa records off-shoot label applegold, this hugely sought after disco boogie rap from nyc is truly phenomenal! bouncing straight in with infectious hand-claps, rough and ready beats, deep mellow chords and a kinky guitar, this track delivers a conscious female rap with a side order of big apple groove! sounding like a house party you just wanna be at, this mega-rare 12 inch is a firm favourite of dmitri from paris amongst many other discerning djs. grab one while you can!

we are proud to say that the sampler for the magnificant the dark defender album is one of the most energetic outputs on the citrus label thusfar. these two tracks are already in high demand and will float around for a while after its releasedate. btk delivers some excellent remix work on the b side. on the a side you find heat one of the most slamming tracks on the album.

while sam barker & andreas baumecker are spending time on the road with their impressive hardware live set (during which they fuse tracks from their debut album *transsektoral* with new dancefloor burning material), some of their closest peers have been busy on their own re-workings, resulting in four tracks from their album in new, exciting flavours.

feelharmonic proudly welcomes birke tm to our label with his debut ep *oro jackson*. the young german producer steps up to the mark with the warm, extra-deep title track *oro jackson* leading the way followed by the storming *the white tree*, a cut created specifically with the underground party scene in mind, while *all star swing* is a gentler and emotional groover. when it came to remixing *oro jackson* we had only one man in mind, birke tms friend iron curtis who delivers a brighter and more soulful interpretation of the original.

for its tenth release, sharivari presents nakama ep, another special project with 4 tracks from the land of the rising sun. ufos acid jazz classic somewhere gets re-edited by the serbian duo j-house, aka jan nemecek and danilo tomic, while sapporo based musician kuniyuki takahashi brings his usual deep and percussive vision of house music. on the flip, rush hour artist haruki matsuo and japanese techno legend ken ishii deliver 2 straight but warm & deep techno cuts. 300 copies pressed on marbled vinyl.

manmakemusic kick-off 2013 with their housiest offering to date from two new label artists, natan h & amy jean. natan h made his debut last year with anton zaps ethereal sound and on this occasion collaborates with longtime creative partner for an ep of bumping, unconventional house music. title track, *for her*, is a beast of unrivalled warmth working a deep and steady groove to perfection. on the flip, *i know* is a soulful disco-infused workout while *rush* takes aim squarely at the late night raver with its enveloping pads and low-slung bass line.

benno blome and adrian martin have created a reminiscence of sound. echoes calling from the past into the very moment you are in. *echoes from home* recalls the deepest and hidden treasures lying and waiting patiently inside your soul. creatively complex in movement, the sound carpet is easy and accessible from every point of listening. a touch of incense from the past combined with todays visionary artistry of both performers. close your eyes and follow the echo, the capturing flow from the original version. the nico stojan mix is a sexy combination of the original flow with a touch of bitchy attitude added to the bass line. perfect for a more hidden place near the dance floor while kellerkind has added a deep sassy feel to his interpretation of *echoes from home*. both versions pay tribute to the original mix without losing either the originals or their own character. this is *echoes from home*, the more you hear it, the more you want to play it!

as the rumors tell, this obscure piece of music was arranged by three acquaintances, who, by mere coincidence, formed a spontaneous, poly-toxic think tank one marvellous sunday morning, celebrating the beauty of old house music, while at the same time mocking the somehow cheap and predictable functionality of the four to the floor sound design. to honor the inspirational value of situations like these, the decision was made to share the result with a bigger audience. as a meta text, the lyrics form a tongue in cheek comment on nostalgic good old days aesthetics, and are simultaneously, and quite paradoxically, reminiscent of the utopian and transgressive vision of early house and techno music. if there is anything that we can retrieve from this vision today, it is the encouragement to create funny, pleasant and playful situations for ourselves and the like-minded, escaping the seriousness and boredom of the professionalized party and music business. and this is exactly the spirit, which is materialized on this piece of wax.

format b are back in single business! after their successful high-sea album, the two allow themself a short holiday in the romantic sample land, boiling a hissing, primeval soup called drawn to a ravers potion with which obelix would have smashed up the romans for the next 2000 years to come. as solid as the a1 bomb, the b-side continues. spinning formatesque towards sonic speed, the title rise lives up to its honour while dusk finally underlines the obvious request of this 10th formatik chief-release fatness galore!

oliver hos alias for the less obvious techno stompers has always been full of surprises. although you can take the man out of the rave, but not the rave out of the man, raudives >traffic ep< is a retro futuristic team of hermaphrodites. four tracks that recall metal dance - the genre that never was - as well as disco elements, house hints, a techno taste and wave wonders. a record made for sven vaeth and trevor jackson, with >beams< already on heavy rotation with dixon and ame for a while now.

after appearances on werkstoff and kammer musik neal white is back home on eintakt records with a quite playful while straight ahead thinking 12 inch. we start off deep underwater with the title track, a melancholic dubtechno drifter with a touch of pop called goldfish. enjoyable pianos, a rainy atmosphere, some classic chords and that tasty voice by klavinora make that track a proper name giver. after that wet a-side we come up afloat facing the livefish remix from rhauder (famous artist on the great label ornaments) on the other vinyl side, a reduced (even a bit) stoic floor operator, driving us through the confusions of the autumn sea. coming ashore and meeting queen ema is peaceable after all that. conciliating with the world and weather while getting surrounded by warm pads, curly effects and again the piano hints played by klavinora

preceding the release of bad cop bad cops debut album >wings of techno<, 4 tracks of the long player get the remix treatment by a unique quartet of techno artists: tobias, group niob, brendon moeller and pomelos upcoming star kemetrix. >wings of techno< is a psychedelic tour-de force through various styles of electronic sounds. deep and unique, jacking at times while laid back and cosmic at others. all four remixers on duty here manage to keep the psychedelic and surreal feel of the originals intact while adding a great dose of dancefloor friendliness to the tracks. ostguts tobias. reworks hilton hihat into a deep and dreamy acid techno tune. he is followed by motor city talent kemetrix, who steps up the pace and edginess with a twisted, stomping electro-techno hybrid remake of beauty. group niob, the viennese duo formed by cheap records legend gerhard potuznik and martin dibek, contrast the goth-pop vocals of the original bodyless material with deep dubbed- out techno beats. and lastly, the unmistakeable brendon moeller turns cheeky into an undulating, deep bass driven dub techno stomper

autumn days are coming quite near and with >jahreszwei< – an ambient tape by berlin based artist the marx trukker – we deliver the soundtrack for that more thoughtful time of the year. as the 4-track ep is put together chronological (starting with the track that was produced last), the a-side is more dark and dusty (roughly produced beginning of autumn with an electric bass, an old portastudio and loads of forbidden recording-techniques) while the b-side shines a bit brighter and lighter (produced digital end of summer, concentrating on the dave smith evolver synthesizer only). so take a walk through a forest next to you and enjoy the beautiful autumn-nature while having >jahreszwei< on your ears!

after the well-received treats vol.4, retreat closes its 2012 chapter with a fantastic 4-tracker from house maestro iron curtis! following his accomplished debut album on mirau, glazing is a highly versatile ep which sees the producer breaking new ground while staying true to his inimitable style.

progressive and mental acid tribe, deep and pumpin, travelling between 170 andd 180 bpm. limited 200 copies. sizzling acid melodies turning higher and higher while an ambient dark melody comes slowly on the front... serious sound.

phoenix g. ferm and deep kickdrums that are being accompanied by lengthy chords and a frequently return male vocal that states, bounce. all and all this is the dancefloor music we are used to from mr.g. the a2 brings a more technoish vibe to dance to. this fits perfect in the modern trend of bass producers turning techno. while of course g is somewhat more of a legend and he didnt just turn to this type of music recently. it does proove that he is still abel to catch any kind of vibe to get the people moving. on the b1 we find a ben sims remix. which of course is enough said. mr sims turns the a2 original into an absolute floor wrecker.

it is the end of the world (again!) and laut & luise gladly welcomes a new artist to the family: on akumal ep - his first vinyl release - christopher schwarzwalder puts together four exploratory, driving and hypnotic tracks. after waking you from your slumber with >keep< (a1), >jakob< (a2) entices you to take a little ride into the sunset. on the flip side, >barely legal< (b1) easily brings you down into the night, while the hidden energy of >das ganze boot auf acid< (b2) will mesmerize you for the hours after the hours, leaving you in a place where time is of no interest.

piek and friends deliver a solid retro themed deep house pack on pistons latest vinyl outing. top quality beats and classic samples will have you bouncing all night long. bjerk peterson joins in on nasty serving up a real tasty club cut with those familiar sounds we all love while pawas delivers a sublime, deep funk fuelled remix. on the flip efron drops by on the stunning bass monster ma business backed up with a super remix from hector couto. a straight up solid groove and a definite must have 12inch for those boxes!

every once in a while a record or in this case an ep comes along and its so bursting with feel good vibes that even the most cynical dance music listener cant resist. at the mere age of 19, francisco davalos is about to grab the attention of many. simply put, the young mexican has a superb ear for the language of music. after a recent 12 on nurvous (nervous records new sublabel), on the prowl finds itself lucky to land these four tropical themed disco tinged club bombs. with hints of what made tensnakess coma cat so successful the bronx skillfully puts together his tropical ep packed with plenty of playful pianos, strings, congas, marimbas... theres no holding back.

these redux releases are like buses, we dont hear anything for ages then they hit us with three killer eps in a row. following the grand corporation and machete savane comes the return of phoreski. we have not heard much from phoreski for a little while, but you will soon hear why when you put the needle to the record on these two new tracks. he has been busily building up his studio into an enviable aladdins den of vintage kit, wires and analogue recording equipment. all synths and vocals you hear on these tracks come from phoreski, no samples, no guests, no edits. he has been hinting at this raw, analogue authentic sound for a while, but these tracks showcase a producer at one with the machines. >brown biscuits< comes across like some lost italo/cosmic gem, but via the north east of england rather than the lakes of italy. >machines< flexes tight proto-house rhythms with some bass that will make mince meat of lesser club soundsystems whilst the feuding synth lines fight for attention. this is proper body music, play loud!

after almost 4 years of silence tolcha are back with neustadt, another intense and suspensefully cinematic full-length lp. like the title of the record suggests, the berlin based four piece decided to pursue a neo-retro vision of a sonic after-future with this one. what does that mean? the record clearly leans on a motorik aesthetic, but all the while redefining it with modern production techniques and surges of their very own breed of dub, rather than rehashing genre related cliches.
