BPitch Control begegnet dem aktuellen Wandel mit einem groß angelegten Compilation-Album, dessen programmatischer Titel "Where The Wind Blows" nur wenig Erklärung bedarf: Siebzehn beeindruckende und bis dato allesamt unveröffentlichte Tracks von ebenso vielen Künstlern zeigen, wohin der Wind bei BPC zukünftig wehen könnte. Die musikalische Vielschichtigkeit des Albums steht seiner Konsistenz und Geschlossenheit nicht im Mindesten im Wege - ganz im Gegenteil: "Where The Wind Blows" ist gleichzeitig Bestandsaufnahme eines erfolgreichen Labels und visionärer Wegweiser in die Zukunft der elektronischen Musik.

Norway's CN (aka Stian Gjevik) delivers 4 cuts of spatial analogue electro. Overflowing with uber-melodic synthesizers along with CN's complete mastery of the drum machine, Voyages is Detroit influenced braindance at its best.

The Italian producers are back with this massive track. Don't miss it, it's a 2010 smash hit for sure!!!

For the 100th release we have come up with possibly the most bonkers of an idea since we started: Take the coolest Simple Minds song, two (ex) members of Simple Minds, the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra and plenty of Nang flavour. Label head honcho Loudery evokes the "double O privilege" card for the to lead the players in a cover version of 'Book Of Brilliant Things' from 1984
The original version is a melting pot of splendiferous ingredients. Prague Orchestral strings, Chic bass grooves, analogue keys, plucky guitars and the vocals of soul princessTahamenePark. She moulds the head-on Jim Kerr vocal lines into a slick, sultry, laidback treat. As with past Loudery releases the big orchestral break down is there, this time taking inspiration from the "City OfLight" Simple Minds version. The release features vocal and instrumental versions.

it's not always good to make music and to know to much about it. some folks drop all their knowledge into their creation and forget the soul while doing it.
the italian producer, dj, and devoted record collector marcello giordani does not belong to those kind of fellows. he feels what he is doing and he never thinks to much about his various artistic expressions.
its said he bought his first record down in 1988. his premiere in the dj booth was 1992 when he started to play house records in the clubs nearby his hometown parma. later he held a residency at a party called - les folies de pigalle' - hailed as on of the best house nights in italy around the mid nineties.

around that time one of his greatest fan affairs been new york's house duo masters at work - until 1999 when he discovered metro area and his taste shifted from pure house to electronic disco. already in 1994 he started to produce but it took him till the middle of the last decade when his career embarked as a notorious record producer that is dancing between deep house, cosmic disco, and italo.
ever since his tracks been released on labels like dirt crew's players paradise, boogiefarm, slow motion disco from italy,  mule musiq, endless flight, and his own imprint italo deviance records.

Ceephax, the pope of acid music of the 2000s, has grown up between Giorgio Moroder's sound and the library music of the BBC. These multiple influences are transcribed again in this triple album which could be an imaginary OST. He proves with this work of art that he has reached his whole maturity thanks to a great sense of narration and his mastery of analogue machines. Welcome in Cro Magnox Planet!

OVERVIEW:
'When I was 18 I had those albums you'd escape with. When we were making the Footprintz record that was really our aim - to produce an album that kids can listen and escape to'.

Released March 2013 on inimitable label Visionquest, Footprintz debut album 'Escape Yourself' delivers on a level that many dance LP's aspire to reach but few attain; a 'proper' album with each song taking you deeper and deeper into what is an accomplished and well-rounded body of work.

Every journey has its beginning, and as the opening chords of 'The Things That Last Forever' give way to a hypnotic bassline, you know you're on your way. Basslines form a key part of the Footprintz sound, acting as an anchor from which vocal melodies, synth lines and warm chords weave around in an often psychedelic style. Debut single, 'Utopia', exemplifies this ethic with its synth flirtations and optimistic vocal musings adding layers upon a solid core.

As Clarian and Addy say, 'We wanted to work around a concept of escaping the confused years of growing up. 16-25, those are the years where you're figuring yourself out, going through the motions of meeting different people and finding new things'. Tracks like 'Uncertain Change' and recent single 'Dangers of The Mouth' tackle this subject head on, focusing on the insecurities that arise from growing up. 'Zanzibar' takes a lighter approach, touching on the innocence of youth that brings with it, its own simple pleasures.

What becomes apparent throughout 'Escape Yourself' is a real craftsmanship to Footprintz's songwriting. Each track reveals a little more on each listen, aided by the slick production work, done predominantly by the guys themselves in their Montreal bunker studio full of analogue equipment, odd instruments and a fridge laden with 'special brownies'; which goes some way to explain a noirish-haze that permeates through the album.

Having met at an afterparty aged 15, Clarian North & Adam Hunter have experienced most of their adult life together. 'Escape Yourself' distills their experiences, wraps them in a warm analogue fuzz and shares them with the listener. You join them on their journey, and deep down they hope it helps you shape your own.

Sling & Samo join forces with Yourhighness (Rollerboys, Ultracity, Maracas rec) and Max Essa's hippie brother Barnaby Bruce, for this three track maxi singel. Side A brings you the shuffly Belgian smelling "Henry Brainless" and the tropical Lamma Island italo-crooner "Staying Out". On the flip Yourhighness lays down his four to the floor mix for the entire side.

The quintessential first album by Gina X Performance. Released in 1978 on various labels including EMI, ''Nice Mover'' has been out of print on vinyl format since 1980. ''Nice Mover'' has been an internationally regarded electro/disco record with various tracks appearing on compilations throughout the years (e.g. Andrew Weatherall's ''Nine O'Clock Drop''). The track ''No G.D.M.'' (a tribute to famous gay actor/writer/personality) was a club hit on both sides of the Atlantic and remains a commonly heard track on better DJ sets to this very day. It is made up of an infectious slow driving disco-esque beat with perfectly aligned and arranged synth accompaniments. Tackling controversial subject matter such as transgenderism, exhibitionism, and other fetishes , this record has left a deep mark on the history of new wave and electro/disco. The title track ''Nice Mover'' is a cosmic sequenced synth hit and also has appeared on various compilations. The bouncing ''Be A Boy'' is a high energy dancefloor cutter that illustrates the internal thought processes and daydreams of a female longing to become a male. ''Black Sheep'' continues this theme and is a very catchy number with bonus sheep sounds to keep it interesting... The closing track ''Tropical Comic Strip'' starts off with peaceful cricket samples and piano and builds into a bombastic production that is a fitting close to the record. Master recordings provided by Zeus B. Held and remastered by Lafayette Masters, Freiburg. This is a seminal work of electro/disco/wave and is essential for fans of late 70's wave-synth-disco crossover and the like. Original reproduction artwork is preserved on the front (one of the best record covers of the entire scene) and back. Presented on high quality 180gram colored vinyl in a limited edition pressing of 1000 hand-numbered copies.

Hiem, who created the stunning '2.A.M' single with the Human League's Phil Oakey earlier this year on Nang, return with an LP of gigantic proportions.
10 years together, Nick "Nico" Eastwood and David "Bozz" Boswell formed Hiem from the ashes of Sheffield collectives The All Seeing I and Venini, with The All Seeing I bothering the charts with "The Beat Goes On" & "Walk Like a Panther". Wearing their influences firmly on their sleeve (Sparks, Van Der Graff Generator, Daft Punk,Roxy Music), they have produced an album that's, as The Guardian put it, 'a rum mix of lissom disco, acid northern observation a la John Cooper Clarke, brutal Sheff-tronics and glittering crystalline electro'.

With a back catalogue of underground international hits under their belt for illustrious labels including Eskimo Recordings and Crosstown Rebels, as well as front man Bozzwell's critically lauded solo album "Bits & Pieces" scooping an award nomination for German Music Critic's Record of the year, these guys know a trick or two."Escape From Division Street" sees Hiem delivering a fresh, uncompromising and intelligent slant on electro-pop

Breakbeat Paradise Recordings is happy to welcome back Morlack, with his very first solo 12' vinyl, with 4 hot jams straights from the funky sequences of Morlack studios.

Morlack has been around for only 2 years in the funky breaks scene, but he has released more music than most other ghetto funk producers on various labels like Boogie Boutique (UK), Tru Funk (PO), Baffin Beat Brigade (US) as well as 3 digital EPs here on BBP. Morlack has a unique style and he is known and loved for his crooked samples and always spot-on ghetto funk productions and this EP shows the cream of the crop of the of the Morlack style.

Morlack is topping the digital breakbeat charts at the moment with his second full-length album For the Brothers in the Ghetto and the tracks on this EP is already getting support from international producers and DJs like BadboE (DK) and Stickybuds (US).

Dr Rubberfunk (Jalapeno Records), The Uptown Felaz (Shiftin' Gears Records), Funkanomics (Big M Productions), Funkmaster Ozone (Da Source Records) and Afternoons In Stereo (Timewarp Music) come up with the remixes for the - Boogie Down' EP, the second 12inch vinyl of Mr. Confuse's digital download album - Do You Realize - The Remixes
Both the - Man Made' EP as well as the - Boogie Down' EP focus on the corresponding Man Parrish cover versions and feature the most significant remixes of the digital release on two vinyl editions.
Do You Realize - The Remixes' will be released on April 5, 2013 and hosts a stunning line-up of international remixers who each had their personal take on one of the tracks from the album. The result is a diverse bag full of dance floor goodies, ranging from Electro Funk to Ghetto Funk, from Electronic Bossa to Funky Breaks and Jazzy Breakbeat.

The Emperor Machine returns with his first new release in almost four years, the wonderful 'Like a Machine' backed with a remix from the legendary Andrew Weatherall...

Andy Meecham AKA The Emperor Machine really needs little introduction, having been at the forefront of electronic music for well over 20 years now. His musical history as Bizarre Inc, Sir Drew and Chicken Lips charts the changing face of dance music over the last two decades but it is perhaps as The Emperor Machine that he has found his most experimental and innovative outlet. The three albums from The Emperor Machine to date are held close to hearts of his many fans across the globe and so it will come as
welcome news that he is back with his first new material in almost four years and that this single is the precursor to a much anticipated new LP.

'Like A Machine' sees Meecham dive back into classic Emperor Machine territory with a pulsing and purring slice of electronic disco that builds artound a rolling arpeggio in continual flux whilst the layers the track with an array of FX, instrumentation and vocal incantations. The 'Stretched Erotic dub' strips things back to the underlying groove, delivering a cut that lets the subtleties of the arrangement shine. Nestled in the middle of this package we have music legend and inspirational anti-hero Mr. Andrew Weatherall at the controls, he takes 'Like a Machine' and revamps it into a deep and rolling rework that is an instant late night druggy anthem with its off kilter synth lines and added spoken word vocal parts; as brilliant as you would expect! Finally the package is completed with bonus cut 'System Seven Hundred' a track that see The Emperor Machine journey into mid tempo hypnotic wonderment with a record that builds and builds as only Mr Meecham knows how.

Pets Recordings is pleased to present Friends Will Carry You Home Too, the second installment of the celebrated compilation series compiled by label bosses Catz N Dogz. Marking the third anniversary of the label, Friends Will Carry You Home Too presents two CDs loaded with brand new exclusives from the Pets Recordings´ established and up-and-coming family of artists. While Disc One features the likes of Eats Everything, Breach & T. Williams, Tom Demac and Squarehead showcasing their take on the Pets fresh approach to club music, Disc Two sees artists such as Chmara Winter, Maribou State & Pedestrian, the late Martin Dawson and Catz N Dogz
change it up with some more downtempo, diverse productions. We decided to do two CDs because we wanted to show that our label is not just a house music outlet, explains one half of Catz N Dogz, Voitek. "With CD2, we challenged some artists from our label and asked them to make something totally different from what they usually do - Eats Everything´s "Need" is a perfect example."
The Pets house aesthetic flits characteristically through garage, harder bass atmospherics, techno and old school influences throughout the first CD, with A1 Bassline´s "Trip Over", Breach and T. Williams´ "And Then We" and Justin Martin´s game-changing Rachel Row remix all showcasing the imprint´s innovative flavours. CD2 offers a chance for some of Poland´s finest to expose their experimental sides, with the likes of SLG, Drrax and Kixnare stepping up to the challenge, not to mention Catz N Dogz themselves who present a beautiful vocal offering featuring James Yuill. Set to run alongside the launch of Pets Recordings international club takeovers, kick starting at Mexico´s BPM festival in January and Berlins Watergate and Warsaw´s 1500 m2 in March 2013, Friends Will Carry You Home Too will be released on CD, Vinyl and Digital formats in March. Look out for a series of bespoke videos supporting a number of the compilation´s tracks, and an art show centered around the release featuring visuals
and music in a changing environment. Friends Will Carry You Home Too is Pets biggest project to date and is set to catapult the label to new heights in 20

'ORDINARY PEOPLE'

A yawning desert covers and oppresses a distant daemon-sphere pregnant with the stuff of a thousand Earths. Clouds of the same hue and attitude as the infinite sands gradually dominate the sky, possessed of a malign intelligence. A trans-generational caravan cuts an unforgiving line through the dunes in a fruitless mission to close its great mad circle, forever missing by just miles.
It is a roving, innumerable harem in liege to an unsexed tyrant who sings them this song, reproduced here by Resonant Hole emissaries Jeanne Vomit-Terror and Ed Sunspot, as the caravan commits the abominable act of transgressing the horizon into the infant sky-desert
'above.'
Carl Calm's 'Gulf of Night' mix is a Bedouin bio-monster raid, absconding with one silken dove and imprisoning her in a grid of paralytic gel, her form imperceptibly fading in space
independently of time, her tender age all the while intact.
The great Simonetti's own perverse interpretation of this carnal hymn sows ordnance around the lips of oases, the distant thunder of desert life extinguished packing dance-floors in silk tents
lifetimes away.

CD 2

New Detroit group Tranzistors pay tribute to Warhol, Studio 54, and Xanadu on their new single "Zanadu." Three versions remixed by night club luminaries: San Serac (Environ), 100 Limosines (Detroit), and Jackie O'Body's School of Dance (aka Samuel Consiglio, ex-Adult + Tamion 12" Inch). Take off your shirts and start dancin'. Record comes in various re-purposed vintage disco/dance sleeves

Occupying the full A-side 'Moon' is an epic of a track. Clocking in at just under 11 minutes, 'Moon' combines all the elements of Iori's productions that we've come to know and love; carefully sculpted (almost tribal) drum patterns, a seriously bottom heavy throbbing bassline, percussive fx throughout, subtle chords and even a pinch of acid. A monstrously heavy track that craves loud soundsystems.
Flip over for 'Spread', which contrasts brilliantly to the happenings of the A-side. Whereas 'Moon' is bolshy and gung ho, 'Spread' showcases subtler more restrained side to Iori's character. Again we're treated to intricate drum work, this time though, it's all about the airy synths, gently pulsating bassline and the groove that captivates you from the off. This eleven minute journey just ain't long enough...
Limited vinyl pressing of 444 copies - hand stamped and numbered. Special artwork by Pedro Carvalho de Almeida.

Yelle was at Pitti W for Maison Kitsuné's fashion show (Florence, Italy) on January 10, the perfect occasion for her to present for the first time her new beautiful song ' L'Amour Parfait'! Produced by GrandMarnier and Aeroplane, the track is held by Yelle's unique and hypnotic voice and a dark and persistent beat that reminds us of the 1980's electro pop.
After releasing the highly praised album 'Safari Disco Club' in March 2011, Yelle is back with the single « L'Amour Parfait », her third collaboration with Kitsuné, after « La Musique » and « A cause des garçons ».
Out on March 18th, the EP contains excellent remixes of « L'amour Parfait » by Baadman, the very young and impressive 17 years old french dj, Sticky K, The Phantom and Ruben Mandolini who offers us a housey version of the song.

Azimuth EP showcases this producer's fresh take on electronic music across a range of tempos. D'Marc Cantu remixes the EP's most dancefloor-friendly track, Azimuth, lending it a deeper and more brooding edge. Alis is the new project from Italo-Bulgarian Londoner, Sabina Plamenova (formerly Subeena). This new pseudonym reflects a more personal and vocal-lead endeavour, in her own words, "not just a music about music" approach but also an outlet for her own personality. A big name for 2013 and beyond.

Jupiter Jazz is the moniker for production duo Maceo Plex and Danny Daze...
A force of twisted nature, Jupiter Jazz are finally dropping their inaugural bomb EP 'Booty Jazz', after the first remix outing on Ellum with Switchbox's 'Pirates Poetry'. Sucking the dancefloor into their flaming orbit and leaving all inhabitants senses back on earth, Maceo Plex and Danny Daze are here to Jupiter Jazz you up.
'Shake It Mama' launches the booty theme with a vortex of dirty, dark 80s electro, growling low-end and Cameo style vocoder while a smoother groovier deeper vibe shimmers through 'Technology' on the b-side.
Taking a weirder turn 'Good Girl' seals the package with a sleazy male vocal line, tight drums and hypnotic pads. So let Jupiter Jazz drag you into the black hole of
'Booty Jazz' for some intergalactic misbehavior. More to come in the not so distant future...

21st volume of this highly acclaimed 2cd, reflecting the sound of Studio Brussels' leading radio show for electronic music SWITCH. Incl. Katy B, DJ Fresh, Boys Noize, Danny Byrd, A-Trak, The Prodigy, Aeroplane, Rudimental, The xx, Jessie Ware...
