tunnel signs is the nom de plume of australian born lover, fighter and romantic, ash moses. with a taste for playing and producing records that embrace the darkness, moses parts the sea and finds the wonky middle ground between reverb drenched postpunk, hypnotic techno and spaced out disco. having previously seen releases on labels such as nein, clouded vision and hakt he now finds a home with cutters records with this 12inch with will buck. the release, titled spirits came into existence when ash relocated to new york city, a place he had long dreamed of from afar. as luck would have it he found himself sharing an apartment with another likeminded electronic musician named will buck who became his studio-partner and eventual collaborator. having bonded over a shared love of synthesizers, drum machines and all things rhythm they soon began their own freeform jam sessions which paved the way for this 12inch release. spirits shares some of the slow hypnotic swagger and dark disco drone of red axes and multi culti but with a futuristic percussive palette of the likes of four tet. the heady modulated elastic synth sounds give way to deep undulating bass patterns and tribal percussion. on the flip, the lights get turned out and the acid turned up with an ominous techno rework courtesy of hivern discs own marc pino

the la based artist kauf has been honing his own dark twist on modern electronic music since 2011, with heavy drum production, dense, cinematic synth buildups and high-pitched, echo-laden vocals. his aesthetic lies somewhere in between the worlds of slow house, industrial dance and drony avant-pop earning comparisons with the likes of caribou, matthew dear and toro y moi.

cutters records are pleased to announce the debut vinyl (and vinyl only!) release from their latest signing, the la based artist kauf. since 2011 he has been honing his own dark twist on modern electronic music, with heavy drum production, dense, cinematic synth buildups and high-pitched, echo-laden vocals. his aesthetic lies somewhere in between the worlds of slow house, industrial dance and drony indie pop earning comparisons with the likes of caribou, matthew dear and toro y moi. an internet-only single caught the ears of cut copys frontman dan whitford, who promptly signed him for a forthcoming ep, entitled as much again on cutters records. the first taste of this ep comes in the form of the relocate 12 inch, including remixes by psychemagik, nile delta and moons. kaufs relocate is an dark anthem for the late-night-slow-dance, featuring sparse metallic percussion, chugging synth bass and vocals drowning in a sea of reverb. psychemagik take this vibe and run with it for their 7 minute house tinged rework. cutters own nile delta ups the energy with his signature acid-injection and moons (no recordings) rounds out the release.

nile delta is enigmatic dancefloor wizard joel dickson, the man responsible for last years channel/all this ep on cutters featuring cut copys ben browning. it was an essential building block of dj sets by the likes of holy ghost (dfa), aeroplane and the revenge. and now, as if inhabited by the spirits of the early house and techno pioneers, he has returned with a irresistibly potent dance anthem which excites as much as it surprises.

the miracles club are producer rafael fauria, singer-songwriter honey owens and dancer ryan boyle from portland, oregon. since 2008 the group embarked on a mission spreading the joys of classic dance music vibes. their style draws from an endless palette including early new york & chicago house, detroit techno, and psychedelic pop. on stage the miracles club have manifested live alongside acts like larry heard, glass candy, gang gang dance, mikeq, kim ann foxman, blondes, and hunee.

he has been called the baron of the beats, a knight of life, the life of the night, or even occasionally plain mike gamwell, to you and i though, he is only knightlife.
he is cutters records secret weapon and he is back with the 3rd tome in his royal club catalogue, serves you right / otherway.
the new 12 inch follows on from knightlife i (2007) and knightlife ii (2009), funnily enough, both promising quests into the future of dance with a healthy respect of the past from the melbourne-based producer. with a string of distinguished remixes in between times, serves you right / otherway again sees gamwell forge onwards and upwards, adding yet more strings to his accomplished bow.

the miracles club is a group from portland, oregon featuring members rafael fauria, honey owens and ryan boyle. fusing elements classic chicago acid house, world music, experimental pop and contemporary dance. they have been adding a new and vibrant energy to the west coast us club scene over the last 12 months. cutters records brings us the >light of love remixes< ep which has all the makings of a mid 80s house party except on the dance floor is a giant cosmic rug to float you through space and time. >light of love< is the psychedelic piano house jam from the deepest depths of a dank dark rave cave and cut copy have reworked it into an entrancing dancefloor gem. also included is a dubbed out house mix by new yorks ever-consistent neurotic drum band. and dont sleep, because on the flip miracles club journey into classic 909 house with two versions of their jam >so hot<. it feels like the second coming of jack, but believe… its the rise of a new dawn!

nile delta is dancefloor wizard joel dickson, former member of riot in belgium and current member of cutters dynamic-duo, voltage. having spent the past year neck-deep in other peoples music – it was only a matter of time before this, nile deltas debut ep emerged, shimmering, from the water. channel sounds like a late 70s house party. except the house is actually a warehouse and the late 70s are actually the early 90s. an almost paradoxical blend of filtered piano stabs, party whistles, endless delays, a squelching acid lead, horns, bendy-breakdowns, you name it. channel sounds like moodymann at his rawkus best. no party will be complete without this house gem. all this on the flip, sees cut copy bassist ben browning provide an otherworldly vocal hook over nile deltas inescapable rhythm. and the crawling baseline will have your hips doing obscene things. guaranteed. remixes include longtime favourites chicken lips, who take their invincible track record on an italian holiday – and tornado wallace who takes us deep, deep into the night.

you just wouldnt write a weird piano melody, put it through all your distortion pedals then write an epic post-disco jam around it. basically that doesnt work… or at least shouldnt… but das moth (aka: tokyo-dwelling dj, producer and punk bassist tim sullivan) has provided us with proof to the contrary in his debut 12 inch release featuring >moon< and the aptly titled >wrong<. yes it works, and its genius. we wont do any more head-scratching on how to describe this release, except to say that the vinyl is an absolute must-have, also featuring proto-house workout from heavyweights kink & neville watson.
