following the critically acclaimed opus that was the wurst music ever album comes the remix package for native undergrounds boogie pop masterpiece, push 4 love. while the album boasted a cover version from none other than midnight magic whose take channeled the spirit of arthur russell, both runaway and in flagrantis reworkings are aimed squarely at the dancefloor.

while yacht refers to >dystopia (the earth is on fire)< as a post-apocalyptic fight song and a cautionary tale, the tracks chant-along melodies and unsparing synths nudge listeners far closer to dance than despair. from the sound of things, that reaction will likely also be elicited by two new remixes of the portland duos song, from their 2011 long player shangri-la. legendary production duo justin strauss and bryan mette, aka whatever/whatever, completely rework the sound of >dystopia< on their version, reorienting it with heavy doses of funk. while the original rides atop buzzing synths, the whatever/whatever remix adds a thick bassline and shimmery keyboards that leap out like solar flares. on the flipside, uk-based emperor machine starts their dystopia remix with a dubby feel – every vocal echoing endlessly – and then u-turns into wholly a updated, yet classic, disco sound. the rhythms are sultry, slinking behind a deep, repeated, synthline, its a recipe for an unexpectedly smooth, subtly hypnotic, and utterly danceworthy song.

b1: royal mix by dirk leyers. dirk submits a striking take on the title disregarding structure entirely, turning it into a submarinal practical knowledge, stadium ready!
b2: reedo mix by the maertini brothers. the mix they rendered is pure love! laid back, with a variation on the vocal neither angie nor €ric were prepared for, listen closely to the bassline!

producer bradka began his career in 2002. once he entered a music recording studio, his position of a perspective young pianist was immediately replaced by a dozen of knobs, switches, buttons and cables. it was a place, where not only somebodys creations could be performed, but also a place where music history could be written. a few hundreds of his created or produced works for different performers, tv identities and commercials are found in his biography. in 2007, bradka began paying more attention to his own creative work, and since then has been cooperating with san francisco based world famous dj and producer andy caldwell and with a french recording label tubetracks. working in team with other creative people gives new possibilities to successive projects such as downtown party network. highly evaluated by the djs and the representatives of music industry duo is combining the best from legendary disco times, groovy electric additions, proper beat and the undescribable lithuanian point of view.

thanks to those whove supported auntie flo and the first two sell out releases. ahead of his debut album, future rhythm machine, wed next like to introduce the hotly anticpated remixes forthcoming on vinyl from pearson sound and newcomer sophie. stripping back the original pearsons signature sound is all over oh my days and includes mix-friendly intro. his take has been a staple in every set from the hessle audio gang for months and recently featured in his essential mix on radio one.introducing the talented sophie in whose hands, highlife is morphed into a rapture of synth-laden goodness. one to watch over the coming months. early support and people with kind words to say include ben ufo, jackmaster, blawan, erol alkan, optimo and capracara amongst others.

lb003 arrives courtesy of bristol born, brighton based producer sam kidel, aka el kid. following up his well received debut on immerse sam drops 3 tracks of wildly varied bass music. beginning with the title track >hypnosis<, lush ambient pads and plucked guitar soon give way to fearsome bass swells and metronomic percussion, coming across like early autechre remixed by floating points. second track >mud< drops the pace for a noisy house workout, reminiscent of fellow bristolians kowton, and labelmate vessel. >kachinja< on the flip is the straightest - and darkest - of the lot, a lurching warehouse techno cut that wouldnt sound out of place on ostgut ton. finally hyperdub wunderkid walton contributes a rough & ready funky dub of >hypnosis< to round out the ep.

uk meets us meets de sounds from ghostleigh. for his 11th release, we see the man delve deeper into us house territory, both tracks feature the same rich analogue production that instantly jumps out of the speakers. this will instantly appeal to fans of joy orbison and deadboy as it will fans of maw, workshop etc.

on the prowl appears to be on a roll with its new found artists. following up robotalcos success on the previous otp, giorgio lands himself in anthem territory. the a1 track >more heart< is big, catchy, and totally feel good house vibes with disco styled horn flourishes. the a side inside cut >basement 6d22< takes us near kerri chandler with delayed brassy chord stabbing and long organ pads. flipping the record over reveals a stunning slo mo disco house workout, filled with jam style organ riffs and amazing synth horn parts. for b2 we get a perscription style deep house track with all the right dark drifting chords. excellent release.

for his inaugural outing on under the shade, james johnston delivers a deep and heavy house workout with three original belters that all seem to evolve and grow from a slow sauntering groovers into mammoth club rumblers. slow in tempo but huge in delivery all teeter around the lower pace of the house spectrum but as james layers them up all become so crammed with content they bust out at the seems and drive home in splendid fashion. also included is a killer andy ash remix of >there is always time to change< that boosts the tempo and utilizes the underlying disco sample to devastating effect.

james johnston is on a roll! after his very well received release on 4lux he now dives in even deeper territory with these four excellent us-inspired deephouse cuts. we have the dark sexy groover >a new day begins<, the sunny rhodes-driven >drive around the city<, the smoked-out >haze< and the hypnotizing late-night workout >why do they wanna go<. a masterclass in deep yet up lifting housemusic.

brandon johnson, the artist known as tridact, has been putting together his mix of analog electronics and beats for some time. growing up in and around santa barbara, california, he has recently traded the beaches and foothills of southern california to move to the forests and mountains of southern oregon. after participating in various bands and other musical projects in santa barbara, he bought a simple setup consisting of a midi sequencer, a sampler and a couple of vintage synthesizers and began creating his own electronic music. over time he built up a small studio and added some live instrumentation into the mix. in the late 2000s, he began posting some of his tracks online, eventually leading to his first release, >light minute<, on the synchronicity suite compilation on moodgadget records, alongside artists such as wisp and mux mool. the track was later re-released on ghostly internationals nocturnal suite compilation. on tridact’s debut album on prins thomas internasjonal label, he creates an eclectic blend of densely layered, melodic, song-oriented instrumental tracks which combine analog synthesizers, guitars and programmed beats. the album draws from influences ranging from 60s pop to disco, house, techno and breakbeat to make a sound that reflects a distinctly pacific coast experience. from the new tridact album (intcd0002) we have cherry picked these tracks for a exclusive vinyl edition spread over 1 12 inch and a 7 inch.

it has been a head-spinning couple of months for miracle. the new ldn/nyc synth-pop duo comprising singer daniel osullivan and synth overlord steve moore have released their debut ep on house anxiety (the big pink, zoo kid etc) to fevered critical acclaim, notably wowing the likes of wire, nme, dazed and confused and pitchfork in rare, uniting form. they then made their live debut with a series of shows with likeminds darkstar and blondes, before premiering their stunning debut video for the eps leviathan lead track >the visitor<, in the us via pitchfork and then in europe via dazed. now to tie a ribbon around this meteoric first chapter, they are releasing a limited edition double 12-inch vinyl ep, collecting together on physical release for the first time the comprehensive, dazzling selection of mixes and reworkings that >the visitor< was treated to.

berkane sol present the vinyl debut of erra. erra comes bursting through your speakers with a riot of tuff drums and sweet melody – its like the sound of someone who has rinsed their console so much that its gone way beyond high scores and into a full on system meltdown. >stax< starts out with a dreamy intro which leads into the rudest of wake up calls – a proper peak-time jackin synth stab married to a smartly evolved bassline, all driven by concussive garage flavoured rhythms. >jookup< on the flip again demonstrates erras irresistible talent for blending blissful keys with hectic dancefloor moments, this time really bringing the sickly grime synths to the front, with some cute but disembodied vocals punctuating the action. the 12 inch follows up erras popular l2s digital release >cake music<, and neatly shows off this young producers rapid development. these tracks have been getting love from people such as: al tourettes (applepips), mary anne hobbs, brackles (rinse fm), n type (wheel and deal), dj flight (1 xtra), spamchop (wigflex), 2562 (tectonic), shortstuff (ramp), cardopusher (hyperdub), martyn (3024), martin kemp (blunted robots), elgato (hessle audio), selector dub u (hotflush), skipple (sub fm), west norwood cassette library (teal), king thing (fortified) ...

iberian records feature on their seventh release an ep from migrant (aka 23hz) who comes with three slabs of soundsystem funk and groovy vibes. >limbic sistim< kicks off proceedings with a building arrangement into a catchy vocal lick – all underpinned with tight beats and warm subs. >acid sumatra< works on a similar tip but ups the tribal and percussive pressure on a deeper insistent rub. whilst >pipe club< brings some classic two-steppy flavours into the mix but cleverly reinforced with massive sub weight. these three tunes are taken from migrants forthcoming album, also entitled >exit plan<. more bass n groove from the lisbon and barcelona based label that should find favour with the deeper end of both dubstep and uk funky scenes.’ early support by scratcha dva, ghosts on tape, kid606, chrissy muderbot, cardopusher, slackk, mesak, phaeleh, deville, bunzer0, throwing snow.

die zweite maxi auf dem aus manchester stammenden label brutal music kommt von dem geheimnisumwitterten produzenten cherrystones, der unter dem namen godsy für das new yorker kultlabel whatever we want records aktiv ist. die ep enthält drei stücke, die ihre vorliebe für krautrock, industrial, soundtracks, no wave und disco erst gar nicht verleugnen.

one night stand is jam factorys third release, a collaboration with new york-based vocalist mattie safer (formally of the rapture) over two 12 inches. this first 12 inch features the original version - a piano-driven chicago style anthem with heavy drums and a touch of acid. mattie delivers a classic house performance in his own instantly recognisable style. on the flip are two different dubs, one an incessant barrage of pianos, the other a thick slice of acid. this release is only available on vinyl.

the third instalment of the bitches brew limited 10-inch series is the darkstarr remix and darkstarr dub of >dont do it< by salvador santana. the 10-inch is designed and hand-printed by artist james morrison so that each record is unique. salvador santana is a hip hop / soul singer / songwriter / keyboardist and is also the son of carlos santana. his debut album >keyboard city< saw contributions from bay area legends such as del the funky homosapien, gza of wu-tang clan and beastie boy studio wizard money mark who also co-wrote >dont do it<. the darkstarr production duo of ashley beedle and cosmo were asked to do a remix and bitches brew has released the results on vinyl on this special 10-inch series. their darkstarr mixes have received big support from musical selectors as diverse as the lofts david mancuso all the way to shit robot.

rising star chamboche (sam williams) turns out his 3rd release on under the shade. heading up the a side is a bumping old school remix from ny dream team runaway, whilst the original is a slow building rumbler, full of tension in all the right places. on the flip >the show must go on< gets a locked groove with the a huge baseline whilst remixer de jour moscow (matt waites) goes epic!
support from the revenge, tensnake, mugwump ...

its a back-to-the-80s vibe that has no boundaries, riviere explains. if somethings cheesy, its cheesy. i have no problem with that, so long as it moves you!

influenced by distorted electro sounds, to orchestral,jazz and blues pieces such as shostakovich and tom waits,he presents his first record,3 twisted and rocking tracks on archibell records.the first track right in the spotlight is >tokamak< a track with a dark kick and grind, featuring layered synths and vocal samples that break and drop with attitude.no time for intros this track hits hard and fast and leaves unexpectedly. next up is >g.i.g.a.s<, defined by its epic breaks, driving melody and sudden mood swing.perhaps the less sinister track out of the three, probably to give you a break for whats coming up next. unlike tokamak, nyxstarts with a slow baleful, classically influenced intro filled with suspense. eventually dropping into a deep atmospheric hard hitting groove. evil rhythm crafted with precise microsampling.

swedish brandy productions is proud to present a sweet and deep vinyl sampler of andre zimmas new album entitled the calm & the turbulence part 1. on this release you will find four original mind expanding beat joints from their album and two remixes from sygaire (1/6 of jazzanova) and slope. sygaire brings us a grooving disco/ boogie remix of hope is on the way. the slope mix of time exists in memories takes us further with a hypnotizing deep pumping tech-house dub. simply real music for real people. do not sleep. andre zimma aka slope is made up of daniel paul and dj honesty - both live in berlin. the story begins in 1996, the year in which the urberliner daniel paul bumps into the cologne immigrant honesty during a party at berlins alternative cultural centre tacheles and they decide to join forces on a common music project - slope is born. daniel and honesty then spend countless nights together, nowadays producing a progressive fusion of house, boogie, and techno flavoured with jazz and soul

q: who are q & a?
a: q & a are quinn luke & alexis georgopoulos.

q: how did quinn and alexis meet?
a: the two were introduced by chris veltri, owner of legendary record shop groove merchant in san francisco. veltri and luke had made a pair of plunderphonic dusted disco 12 inches under the name coppa. georgopoulos was a founder of the group tussle and asked if coppa would do a tussle remix. this led to luke acting as producer on the tussle album telescope mind.

san francisco, cas surefire sound starts off the new decade with a bang and launches their brand new label with an energetic single by eprom. a fast rising west coast bass technician, dj and producer sander dennis a.k.a. eprom delivers funky, techy fourfour beats on “never.” eprom’s original mix opens with rattling hi-hats and a hushed female vocal accented by eproms patented twitchy synths. a hefty kick drops, braced by a thick, bouncy mid-range bass pattern. like recent tracks by untold or ramadanman, “never” blurs the divisions between dubstep, funky, techno and garage to form an irresistible new creation. hyped newcomer faltydl had a breakthrough year in 2009.

austrian born, munich resident dj enne (aka robert ennemoser) has found favor with both djs and labels alike. following up releases on compost, permanent vacation & others robert turns in a lazy funk, analog disco groover. robert spent several years in milan djing and the vibe obviously left an impression... his pleasant surprise track has just the right mix of laid back beats, mediterranean grooves and dancefloor sensibilities. john selway (one half of legendary nyc duo selway & smith) tackles the deeper side of his personality and nudges up the tempo and grooveology just a notch.

the next release coming out of the roska camp is this smart vinyl-only followup to the roska allstars release. this second instalment brings more of the same versatile movements from some fantastic producers currently leading the way for upfront danceable material. main man roska signs up terror danjah to pull of a smart remix of his track >without it<. its somewhat of a guilty pleasure hearing both artists signature idents in one song, terror with his evil gremlin laugh and roska with his ubiquitous shout out! however its all about the arrangement here as terror reforms those original trumpet sounds and adds some heavy distorted bass. j:kenzo serves up >let it move< which is all out pure electro style with punchy drums and dirty synths, again lending to the surprising nature of this labels output. tickles completes the vinyl only package with >da growler<. drums are tougher than iron and bass harder than rock as tickles blends funky, dubstep and house into his own dance-floor destructive mould. all three records show a different side to the current uk bass and funky scene, yet they somehow could only belong on kicks & snares. a fine package for a burgeoning label.

after his recent excursion remixing groove armada, morton sorenson returns to the fold with a stunning little release for tirk titled >the burn down ep.< for those that dont know, morten is in his early twenties and hails from a small fishing village in rural norway. his dad probably spent many years in new york and the records that he brought back encouraged a love of american house and disco on the impressionable morton. >burn down (original)’ is an exercise in uplifting, stripped back house music. less is more here, the vibe stays rich and never loosens its grip. the rhythms skip on top of the beat and the vocal interludes make for a real vivid experience. the lpz remix on the other hand sits back a bit, the rhythms are solidly swung and the vocal appears more affluently in the mix. it feels smooth and definitely cool. to top the package, were served up some chi-town flavours with <owe that 2 u.< sustained strings and a slo-mo shuffle builds, then peels away to a hollowed out organ breakdown. a hauntingly affected vocal and clever edits ensue then drop back into the beat, articulated now by the clack of a tough stacatto synth. in our eyes, a brilliant end to a fantastic package

three folky tracks burned beyond recognition by three absolute masters of the beats: damian schwartz, mweslee and charles trees. brought to you on a very limited transparent vinyl. and theres some auto-tune on there, too!

tom giles previous twelve on modern soul saw him flex his muscles as a producer of sample-based wonky disco. this latest release, however, shows him stepping up to the challenge of crafting heavy boogie gems from scratch – with not a sample to be seen. the 12 inch kicks off with colour theory, a memorable mid-tempo number where crisp snares cracking between a lithe synth-line and a funk-bass backbone, featuring alex farrell of the london afrobeat collective on guitar. its a boogie daisy-cutter, packed, primed and ready for dropping on discerning dancefloors.

tommy walker 3 has been hiding for a while now, after releasing a slew of material in 2008 (including a release on the sadly defunct dissident). now hes back with >dance music clubbing<, and with a name like this youd probably expect this ep to either be a bit off the wall, or unintentionally awful. we are glad to say it fits into the former category, offering an ep of colourful elastic space disco mixed with a more classic vibe. opener >disconnected< sets the tone with its 80s, verging on hair metal guitar riffs. >mwj1< impresses with its almost seinfeld-esque slap bass, and synth piano stabs while >errational< is characterised by its wonky synth melody and spaced-out laser gurgles. finally >v brains< melds driving live bass with huge slabs of cosmic squelch. if you like your disco fierce, this will definitely be worth a look

early djs supports and feedbacks by nuno dos santos, laurent garnier, aubrey, ralf lawson, funk d void, pawas, uner, charles webster, anthony collins

from the murky manchester backstreets, the el diablos social club main man neil diablo (aka the midnight chopper alongside cohort mr masters) stalks his balearic-rock prey with a sharp eye for a groove and a keen sense of razor sharp riffing! on this outing they turn their attention away from the over-subscribed disco edit scene, instead focusing on something a bit more bearded, a bit more rock.
the first chop is the deepest ...

this is the new ep on alex nut’s ho tep recordings. created by fresh london based producer maulin featuring canadian vocalist amenta, deeper than the sun is a club track steeped in history, mythology and the cosmos. at 140 bpm its roots lie somewhere between dubstep, house and broken beat. the two varied productions on the b side are a taste of sounds to come, touching on hip hop, broken beat, uk funky and even musique concrete the talented young upstart delivers an array of styles, stitched together using his own eccentric brand of needle and thread.

eric duncan (of rub n tug fame) drops number three in his keep it cheap series - this time inviting underground uk disco hero foolish felix dickinson to take care of b side duties. head and shoulders above the glut of edits out there, these dig much deeper & are purpose built for sweaty club use, and not to tantalize bedroom bloggers.
as with the cult combi series, we expect these to sell out in a matter of days - 300 copies only.
