previous alphonse releases on klasse wrecks, black orpheus and emotional especial. longing for summer, better weather is the most soulful cut yet to be heard in the ever-expanding catalogue of alphonses mpc jams. spacey and dusty deepness, with a heart yearning gospel vocal delivery from rev be, which alphonse tweaks and manipulates across three unique versions.

the analogue cops with their new output on hypercolour

it’s hard to imagine being at the cutting edge of electronic dance music for over three decades, and never resorting to cliché or tired gimmicks in order to create unique and forward thinking music, but matthew herbert is still channelling original and thought provoking ideas into his projects all these years later. via his accidental record label, he has always excelled at left of centre productions, and through a variety of genre aliases (including doctor rockit, wishmountain and the matthew herbert big band), his imagination has always run wild, resulting in an infectious catalogue of music over the years. “brand new love-, featuring the vocals of rising star, zilla, finds herbert creating a dense and dramatic bass heavy cut. a steppers beat, utilizing herbert’s trademark sampling techniques, it’s a killer cut with sweeping cinematic qualities that sounds head and shoulders ahead of the rest. special request, the jungle heavy arm of paul woolford’s many recording talents, is enlisted to put his breakbeat spin on the original, and turns in an absolutely lethal version, choppy breaks, spinbacks and booming subs come with intent, whilst a sumptuous string arrangement accompanies zilla’s vocal for a truly uplifting spirit. “the peacock-, with its loose beats and opaque stabs, rolls along with its industrial undertones and ravey motif, discordant at times but a truly hypnotizing but in the finest of side b1 traditions. bringing up the rear, “cheekbone” is frenetic and charging micro tribal rave (a new genre classification right there), a glorious medley of percussion, earworm synths and guillotined vocal samples, showing just why matthew herbert is as vital an artist now as he has ever been.

concentric rhythms is the new extended player from dj guy, the cardiff born producer who, despite being heavily involved in the electronic music scene since the early 90s, has only really begun to open up his vast archive of productions to the masses.

the heavy industrial crunch and rubbery synths of fraks trademark sounds come to hypercolour with the four track berga magic ep. the swedish techno trio have been active since the late 1980s, issuing cassette tapes (and later, vinyl) filled with blueprint techno and electronica on their own boerft records label. following in the footsteps of severed heads, d.a.f. and devo, frak have truly embraced performance art and experimental minimalism over the years, never compromising, always innovating. the berga magic ep comes brimming with raw analogue explorations and delightfully incongruous noise.

impenetrable and compelling beats from cassius select on the fake death ep, his first offering for hypercolour after stunning releases on herberts accidental and unknown to the unknown. an ep brimming with forward thinking vigor and razor sharp edges across six cuts of mutilated beats and dense auras.

yeah 2018 repress !! klasse recordings and grafiti tapes impresario, luca lozano, rolls up to hypercolour with a 12inch par excellence of genre blending, future dance grooves. leaning on his sheffield upbringing, its of no surprise that the break beats, edits and bleeps of his native city seeps into his own forward thinking productions.

losoul returns to action with his first long player in almost ten years, and delivers a stunning collection of compositions for the hypercolour released island time. otherwise known as peter kremeier, the german producer has mesmerized us for many years with his organic and emotive house music, largely released on the influential playhouse label, but of late has seen him release singles for karat and tardis records, as well as his very own another picture label. fans of losoul wont be disappointed, as a diverse yet utterly familiar sound aesthetic pours out over the albums seven tracks in his own inimitable style. the jazzy broken beats of gold tooth shine with their micro-sample chops, whilst mean time is a dense and dubby slow stomp, teasing the drums with space echo and injecting sparse bass work where it matters. inventive, spongy house grooves are delivered on boppin lower and square down smoother whilst the album closer, lava in you is a master class in ambient sonics and shimmering keys over a lo-fi swinging groove. its been over 20 years since losouls signature single open door, and the german producer continues to pour out honest and rewarding music.

whitelabel, handstamped, vinyl only! further explorations in electro soul badness from purveyor of fine funk, gary gritness! on this limited 12 hand stamped disc, gritness presents four cover versions of some choice club standards, lovingly replayed and rearranged in his own inimitable style.

falty dl flexes his rave muscle on the three rooms ep, out on hypercolour in january 2018. big, medium and small breakbeat flavours in each of the three rooms.

as proprietors of the will & ink label, yaleesa hall & malin genie have been maintaining a busy and consistent release schedule of top notch techno sounds, largely releasing their own, well received, productions. the duo appeared on hypercolours 10 years compilation in 2016 with the excellent buchan trap, and weve been blessed to secure a full single release with the on-point pair. the mechanical funk of artin swings with plenty of assured groove, the shuffling hats, dense kicks and dubby stabs that ping pong across this fierce production mark this out as a real killer cut. dario & marco zenker, aka the zenker brothers, take time out from their busy ilian tape operations to remix artin into a brutal yet funky techno goliath. congas perpetually roll forward, with frenetic 909 hats and raw and ready stabs in what may well be one of the zenkers finest remixes to date. the essence of funk continues in hall & malins music, with cahen, a great slab of compelling techno that never slips too far into darkness, instead keeping an ever evolving groove and some abstract drone like synthesis to keep the mood buoyant. wrapping up the release is brown, a track that finishes as urgently as it starts, perhaps with a cap doffed to the purpose maker sounds of a certain jeff mills, but broadening the palette to allow some trippy sound architecture and an effective breakdown mid way through. modern day techno supplied by a duo that will most certainly flourish over the coming months, yaleesa hall & malin deliver the goods aplomb on this hypercolour single.

incl. agnes mix supported by loco dice, dan ghenacia, ripperton, james priestley, clive henry, mathias kaden, 3 channels, johnny d... on >the more things change<, tom neatly showcases his impressive skill for deep, sensual tones and refined, subtle grooves. remix action comes courtesy of switzerlands agnes, this time working without his regular partner chaton.

having given us a taster of things to come back in september 2016, with the pressing matters single, the cyclist returns to hypercolour with a brand new, full length album. and as the title suggests, sapa inca delirium leans heavily on south american mysticism, not just musically, but in the visual imagery that the eleven-track album paints so well across its various tempos and rhythms. from the tropical burst of mood setting opener, go back to the steamy and pacey percussive flow of inhale/exhale which features regular collaborator tanaya harper on vocals, the cyclist’s fourth long player is crammed full of intriguing atmospheres and soundscapes. antiexist, with its down-tempo rolling snare fills and ethereal gregorian chanting segues effortlessly into a blind girl drinks ayawaska, a suitably discordant and hallucinogenic skit that ensures the album flows into the more rhythmic cuts like skateboarding in the jungle and mirrors (the second album cut to feature harper on vocals). even the traditional jazzier vibes of when we all break down featuring joni are kept rugged and boisterous, with heavyweight bending bass, choppy breakbeats and fx’d ambience amongst the smooth jazzy chords and sweet vocal delivery. sapa inca delirium is one of those albums that will reward on repeat listen, such is the diversity of style on show here, and the detailed and wide eyed curiosity offered up across the long players fifty three minutes.

having impressed on the home grown ep, released in march of this year, london modular alliance return to hypercolour with the 5 track wolves ep. once again, a heavy arsenal of modular synths and analogue hardware were deployed in the production of these tracks, each once packing a punch and aesthetic that will appeal to many. ôbrockie detö fires out the blocks with on point electro beats and melancholic pads, whilst militant continues the theme, with dusted drums and thick washes of bass for a real futuristic funk moment. elsewhere on the ep, the disassembled arrangement of advance & proceed gives off a cold and discordant atmosphere, but remains firmly in groove and sonically tight, theres a distinct jazz flare in the mix also! tremors hits hard and heavy, giving the detroit electro cats a run for their money, whilst the ep title track, wolves is a busy and inspired slab of british idm at its very best.

since releasing his last album on hypercolour in february 2016 (æyou existÆ), dmx krew has not for one moment rested on laurels, releasing two further lps on the ekster and abstract form labels, as well as eps and singles for central processing unit, shipwrec, revoke and more. continuing to remain faithful to the roots of electro, idm and the deeper shades of techno, and without compromise, dmx krew cranks out emotive and brain scrambling electronica at a mighty rate, and never disappoints. æstrange directionsÆ is album number 21 from dmx krew, and lands once more on hypercolour, the british label that continues to make heady waves in the music scene with genre shifting releases from the like of matthew herbert, luke vibert, gary gritness, the cyclist, outboxx and a sagittariun in the last 12 months alone. youÆll know what kind of ride you are in for from the first few bars of album opener æsnowy blueÆ, hypnotizing bass and spatial keys float over dusty micro breaks, produced with an infectious aesthetic that continues over the long playerÆs fifty-five minute tenure. experimental and expansive joints such as æodd chillÆ and æstrange directionsÆ sit comfortably alongside funkier techno jams such as æthin hypeÆ and æzero sumÆ, whilst the melancholic synth sensibilities of tracks like æhip hopelessÆ and æaxial mode beatÆ catches dmx krew on fine form.

one of the current techno scene’s ‘hidden treasures’, bristol based a sagittariun has discretely released a wide breadth of music over the last five years for labels like secretsundaze, hypercolour and his own elastic dreams label. two highly acclaimed albums in “dream ritual” and “elasticity” as well as fifteen eps have appealed to those who like their techno without frontiers, taking in blistering 140bpm techno, breakbeat idm and ambient dub with ease. his second release for hypercolour displays signs of crossover appeal at long last… lead track “vanishing point” has already been receiving early plays from the likes of laurent garnier (dropping it in his recent timewarp germany set), spencer parker and len faki. big pumping beats and spiralling fx fall aside to a lone breakbeat that ushers in one pretty special breakdown section. the childlike keys and fathoms deep synth stabs (straight out of the john carpenter school of fathoms deep synth stabs) have already drawn comparisons to the retro 80s vibes to be heard on the american sci-fi horror series stranger things. it’s a breakdown that takes the listener to an uncharted dimension, bookended by slammin’ beats that acts as a perfect mood changer in any set. watch this one soar! “the pathway” keeps things on an all together straighter tip, an incessant tribal loop weaves and filters around a thunderous kick and shuffling hats, ebbing and flowing all the way in what might be a sagittariun’s most club-centric and stripped back production yet. matrixxman (dekmantel/spectral sound) is on hold to deliver a superb remix, pushing the original down a long dark tunnel for a growling and reverberating techno overhaul

as owner and curator of the exotic dance records label , j. albert has released a steady handful of projects on his brooklyn based imprint , as well as showcasing new music from deejay xanax and person of interest . add to that, recent releases on the 1080p label and black opal, and j. albert is fast making a mark on the scene for his raw and undiluted deep fusion of house, techno and jazzy vibes. his debut ep for hypercolour opens up with dont hide it a bumpin and jazzy flavoured house cut, resplendent with rolling snare drums and warm stabs, a sampled double bass riff and choppy vocal refrains xtra sauce is another stellar house track, fans of the ron trent/prescription chicago sound will instantly find an affection here with the rolling drums and soft keys, all pushed along at an energetic pace, whilst vista finds j. albert in more playful mode, carving out a 10 minute jackin underground house vibe that cuts raw and hypnotising.

a riotous romp through imaginatively used samples, familiar piano riffs, customary beats and other rave tropes, the master of mischief luke vibert puts together a 10 track ode to the era of m25 convoys, mobile phone hotlines and raving amongst dogs on strings in british aerodrome fields. with a long and extensive history in the uks dance counterculture spanning three decades, vibert has released a barrage of inventive and animated music over the years that really doesn’t take itself too seriously, and is all the better for it. lps and singles for mo wax, warp, planet mu, ninja tune and rising high really speaks for itself, so its a honour to welcome vibert back onto hypercolour (after 2014s ridmik album and 2015’s return of his kerrier district moniker).
the double vinyl release includes a download code.

hailing from london, london modular alliance are a trio of modular enthusiasts, often performing live, completely on the fly using modular synths and live improvisation. members include koova. yes effect and pip williams, but on this new ep for hypercolour. pip williams aka phil venture strikes alone with four devastating cuts. with previous releases on uk techno label brokntoys and the kirk degiorgios applied rhythmic technology (art) label, lma continue a fine run of releases with the home grown ep. the production aesthetics across the four cuts are second to none civic society pairs up dark atmospherics and driving electro beats that furl into rolling breaks, whilst home grown is a pacey and bustling burner. more forward motion electro vibes are in evidence on lucid, and ep closer, saunton combines dense ambience, broken beats and acidic bass, all with a gloss and shimmer that makes the music of london modular alliance so engaging. selected dj reactions elephino - looking forward to playing this loud a made up sound - im digging lucid, thanks cosmin trg - heat ethyl - decent this!

returning to hypercolour with a second volume of his sugar cane chronicles, gary gritness lays down more devastating funk and classy riffing over his trusty roland 606. after the first volume, released last april, sold out its vinyl run, gritness delivers more explorations and adventures into his unique and soulful world. having elusively built his reputation as an outstanding session player, live producer and fantastically dressed funkateer, gritness has delivered a handful of releases on labels like clone crown ltd, nyami nyami and his own diy and cassette-only slikk tapes. steady choosin gets downright fusion-jazz and gritness fires out seductive melodies and latin piano playing of the highest order whilst countin up with starr delves into a darker well of synth mania, with a sexual groove reminiscing of rick james, all the while retaining garys signature licks and riffs. runner joes revenge on the flip ramps up the hysteria for a gritty and colossal production that typifies his love of cyberpunk soundtracks and the drama and narrative to be found in this style. the sugar cane chronicles vol. 2 closes with the low-slung pool shark loot wrapping up on a mysterious and captivating tone, its wandering bassline and melodic touches carrying all the signature gritness sounds, with the p-funk sleaziness on top.

hypercolour round off a busy year that has seen recent releases from the likes of kerrier district, gary gritness, roman flugel, dmx krew and outboxx. and in their 10th anniversary year, the label close 2016 with the heavyweight pairing of mathew jonson & sebastian mullaert. two summers ago, with no distinctive aims or deadlines, jonson was invited to come and work with mullaert and stayed for 5 days in the exceptionally beautiful surroundings of one of swedens national parks

it would be fair to say that hypercolour, the uk label founded by alex jones and jamie russell, have come a long way since the label’s inception 10 years ago.
from humble beginnings, to a roster of artists spanning across continents, genres, styles, and sounds, the label curates a very special 16 track compilation album to celebrate ten years of operation, and to capture the essence of the label’s ethos and energies that have been at the forefront of the label’s output in recent times.
the triple vinyl release includes a download code.

bristol duo outboxx return after a 12-month hiatus with their trademark low-slung house sounds, and another collaboration with vocalist and lyricist, naomi jeremy. with previous releases on fellow west country labels futureboogie and idle hands, outboxx debut here on hypercolour, completing their bristol label hat trick. sealing the release is a remix from detroit’s andrés, the prolific producer behind multiple releases on la vida and kenny dixon jnr’s mahogani music and kdj labels.

peter kremeier, aka losoul, has always been an artist weve greatly admired here at hypercolour, so its a real thrill to have him on the label at long last. a huge catalogue of eclectic, distinctive and funky music for labels like playhouse, moodmusic and freak n chic, losoul turns in two exceptional tracks on the slowly turning release here.

new output by the cyclist - incl robag wruhme remix

und, mor elian is a relatively new name on the block, but her deft tastes have seen her share the stage with the likes of kerri chandler, mike dunn, seven davis jnr, dj qu and many more, and most recently, releasing her debut vinyl release on the excellent prime numbers label, featuring fxhes ob ignitt on remix duties. on drum vortex, mor strikes a killer release for hypercolour, enlisting two big remixes on the release from joey anderson and markus suckut. on her original mix, drum vortex rolls out a ricocheting drum workout that indeed goes through the vortex, otherworldly voices and cosmic drones sit in the middle of the mix whilst the rides and hats intensify. joey anderson has proven himself as one of the most diverse house producers out there, with offerings for dekmantel, syncrophone recordings and tanstaafl planets. joey remodels drum vortex into an old style warehouse dub, rolling congas and snares with incessant synth stabs and bending strings, making up for one serious remix from mr. anderson. another interpretation is on offer from markus suckut, whose techno prowess has shone for labels like rekids, be as one, mosaic and his own exile label (run with johannes heil)

with two releases already under his belt on clone, gary gritness aka slikk tim lands on hypercolour with the sugar cane chronicles vol. 1. gritness may be a relatively new name on the block, but his session work for artists like kenny bobien, louie vega and grant nelson has marked up this multi-instrumentalist as a clear talent. hailing from france, gritness had been spotted by underground resitances mad mike banks as one to watch, and on his hypercolour release, displays a deft hand of producing futuristic funk sounds. a spot on blend of raw drum programming and blissfull jazz funk riffs, preachin some tight game sets the eps tone just right with its infectious melodies and cruising groove. darker 1980s soundtrack vibes are explored on stayin strong hand with its thick analogue atmosphere, whilst the laid back and freestyle vibes of working girls demands to be played in the cadillac with the top down! ep closer, fly shit, continues with the tranquil melodies and g-funk factor.

released in may of last year, kerrier districts 4 album became an essential long player, not just because it was creator luke viberts first kd album offering in over a decade, but because it captured kerrier district at what it does best funky, sample heavy, entertaining, good time dance music.

very few artists have influenced the sound of house and techno as much as roman flügel. having been active since the early 90s under various aliases, few have been revered so widely as a dj, live performer, producer, remixer, intellectual and record label owner. the record labels he helped found, ongaku, klang and playhouse, are pivotal imprints in the electronic music scene, and his ability to gracefully incorporate and master most styles of 4/4 has seen him create a range of genres from techno, house, electro, ambient, idm, downtempo, and acid house.

raw analog stuff - a fantastic journey from techno to house / acid house

alex jones brings his dense & pika project to home base on the ‘lynn’ ep, delivering, alongside partner chris spero, a storming 4 track single for hypercolour.

mit dem nachfolger von *how it is*, seiner 2013er-single auf dem label hypercolour, wagt der englische deep-house-produzent j. wiltshire einen ganz schönen sprung: vom verführerischen deep-house-sound zum reifen, grüblerischen electro body popping bizzness. naben dem originalmix von *false awakening*, der mit einem schönen synthesizer-pizzicato zu einem elektrogefärbten beat eröffnet, finden sich hier ein clubby tool mix sowie zwei remixe von tuff city kids alias gerd janson und phillip lauer (remixten bereits numbers, crème organisation und visionquest): einen remix und eine dub copy.

house of black lanterns is the latest musical project from dylan richards, the man behind the king cannibal and zilla monikers (on the ninja tune and warp records labels respectively). with an album and two singles out in 2013 on the highly respected houndstooth label, richards returns with a deadly ep for hypercolour, backed with a very fine mosca remix.

man of mystery, a sagittariun, may not be the first, nor the last, in a long lineage of techno producers to go undercover and under a veil of anonymity, but the west country artist doesnt use this cloak to stir up any hype, quite simply the music does the talking, and since 2011, has released a breath taking selection of music on his own elastic dreams label. and so the archer lands on hypeltd after only one other foray onto labels other than his own (2014s lost cities ep for secretsundaze).

first sampler from the * fries with that?- mix by eats everything *, featuring 3 classics by g-man, the kick junkie and voices of life.

mind bending pagan sounds from luke vibert on his new halloween (part one) 12 coming out on hypercolour.part 2 of halloween comes soon, with more new vibert tracks, and remixes from falty dl and tom demac.

a huge supporter of hypercolour over the years, and perhaps an embracing of the british labels dedication to the uk sound (considering the frenchmans early deployment to manchesters legendary hacienda club in the late 80s as resident dj), its of little surprise then that the latest garnier project lands on hypercolour this august.

canadian producer kevin mcphee has already released an assured and consistent schedule of records since 2011, cropping up on strong independent labels such as idle hands, demolition man (with gerry read), wncl recordings and our own hypeltd (2011s blue organ ep). so its a return to hypercolour for mr. mcphee, with the boris ep, with added clout from a superb trevino remix.

limited rsd release mit remixen von roman flügel (alter ego) und mr. g

nach seiner vielbeachteten compilation *nuggets 3* aus 2013 veröffentlicht der electronica-veteran luke vibert sein neues studioalbum auf dem jungen, ambitionierten hypercolour-label. *ridmik* ist eine hommage an den legendären roland tb-303 bassline-computer und knüpft an viberts warp-single *i love acid* aus 2003 an.

kris wadsworth is an increasingly rare breed of artist that flat refuses to play industry games and pander to current trends, focusing on the darker, more uncompromising (and more honest) realms of electronic music. releases have steadily clocked up for such esteemed imprints as boe recordings, nrk music, alphahouse, get physical and morris/audio, landing on hypercolour for 2009’s impressive ‘deport this” (and subsequent single “mainline”), and it is for the eclectic and forward thinking uk label that wadsworth aims his second full length player at.

a heavy, heavy remix package here from hypercolour. step forward bonobo, kowton and dark sky, who all contribute stellar remixes of maya jane coles dont put me in your box ep, originally out in 2011

west norwood cassette library, aka bob bhamra, has been digging through the vaults of his extensive production library, serving up this delightful double pack of gems and nuggets. some of these tracks have been buried deep for a few years, others have been dubplate only for a while, so you are definitely opening up a pandoras box of delights here.

aah, the breakbeat, the very foundations on which the british underworld of dance music was built upon, takes it rightful place once again, and will azada royally plunders the spirit of the rave scene on his opening track, mysterious white powder.

dj support so far: tensnake, deetron, huxley, joris voorn, ben westbeech, george fitzgerald...
having produced some stellar jams for labels like somethink sounds, and giles petersons brownswood, eliphino aka tom wrankmore, debuts for hypercolour this autumn, opening up the labels new term with this solid two track release. i dont care opens the account, all chopped up rnb vox and rolling beats, wrapped up in a super smooth melody. already road tested by the hypercolour firm over the last few months, this deep garage vibe hits the sweet spot for sure. on the flip, understand further plunders eliphinos love of rugged garage beats and an ear for a catchy hook. a feverish interplay of vocal chops, keys and organ stabs keeps up the ante, with some decidedly trancey synth parts ramping up the 90s house influences here, and once again a cut that most definitely brings the heat to the dancefloor.

the now internationally acclaimed homeboy huxley returns to the hypercolour bosom with a fine two track ep that proves he isnt resting on his laurels, despite a stunning 2012, and crafts floor slaying tracks with big personalities like few others out there. in 2012 the big thing from tring headlined festivals and clubs all over the world and turned in eps and remixes for the likes of tsuba and 2020

the uks very own george fitzgerald continues to cement his case as one of the top house producers in the world. the latest to be snagged by the eclectic hypercolour label, mr. fitzgerald continues to spread his wings and really hone in on his fusion of house/garage, bass heavy, melodic sound.

hypercolours latest release comes in the form of >higher level<, a brand new release from label co-owner alex jones that is tastefully augmented by remixes from mr fingers and hypercolours latest signings, groove armada.

he next release on hypercolour is a rather large one that has been pursued for a while: an ep from multi-genre explorer, 3024/numbers alumni and all round badman tom reid aka mosca. across four tracks, the pioneering producer offers up his own unique view of house music.

march sees the formidable hypercolour deliver its most surprising output yet, an ep from none other than groove armada. tom findlay and andy cato need little introduction as groove armada. chart smashes, huge live tours and being part of the worldwide electronic music history aside, the duo have never lost touch with their acid house roots and have continued to be devoted to record buying, djing and the much maligned promo trawl. tom and andy have been avid followers of the label it seemed, since its inception. it was through label head jamie, meeting the guys back in 2010 at space in ibiza, and then continued communication via hypercolour promos, that led to an out-of-the-blue email requesting an informal hook up in east london and, within just a few days, a release was scheduled. that release is the >no knock ep<, four tracks that range from 808 fuelled old school cuts to low slung, moog-bassd electronic funk. each sound is lovingly crafted but there is an analog rawness throughout and every track has the sort of tweaked, off-kilter and occasionally awkward vibe that hypercolour do so well. it just takes a bit of imagination to guess what a ga release on hypercolour should sound but failing that, just check the release out as it wont disappoint.

brand new huxley on the currently on fire hypercolour label, it is modern uk house with a bass heavy twist to it, very much in the same vain as recent scuba productions. on the flip is a remix from the talented eats everything. a fine follow up to the recent kevin mcphee release on this label.
