Limited pressing in hand-stamped sleeve. 300 copies only!
This 7 follows Slugabed's critically acclaimed debut album 'Time Team'. It features amazing vocals from Szjerdene (pronounced 'JhurDEEN'), who adds sweetness to the Slug Man's twittering electroid synths and digital bottom end on this skittering wonky-hop roller. And if you're not into the vocals (!), there's an instrumental on the flipside. The track enjoyed over 2500 plays in just two days on Slugabed's Soundcloud page

Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs has today announced the release of much anticipated single 'Your Love' impacting October 29th, available on i-Tunes now, with the promise of another top grade remix package to follow, details TBA.
Coming in the wake of critically acclaimed debut album 'Trouble' and a string of Radio 1 playlisted singles, 'Your Love' is another uniquely brilliant dance record from Orlando Higginbottom (aka TEED).
The son of a music professor at Oxford University, Orlando has already had an incredible journey in a short space of time, working with the likes of Damon Albarn, Lady Gaga and Hot Chip, releasing his first few records with Joe Goddard's tastemaker dance label Greco-Roman.

Stefan Schneider, und die Brüder Robert und Ronald Lippok haben als "to rococo rot" zwischen 1997 du 2001 drei bahnbrechende Platten auf City Slang veröffentlicht. "veiculo", "the amateur view" und "music is a hungry ghost" gehören zu den schönsten und gleichzeitig anspruchsvollsten Platten des City Slang Kataloges und waren viel zu lange nicht mehr erhältlich, deshalb haben wir beschlossen sie mit allerlei Bonus Material und Remixen von Four Tet, Daniel Miller und Mira Calix wiederzuveröffentlichen, als Box Set, 180g Vinyl und limitierte Remix 12".

Futuristic-funk starchild Jimmy Edgar returns with the third single to be taken form his recent album 'Majenta' out earlier this year on Hotlfush. This time Edgar shoves is free-spirited sexual appetite in your face, with a slice of stripped-down, upfront electro-funk complete with J.G. Ballard-inspired lyrics of car-crash sexual fetishism.Alongside the original album cut, two alternate takes are reworked by a pair of producers at the very top of their game: Jon Convex and John Talabot. Whilst Talabot creates an eerie and downright epic re-imagining through his combination of Amazonian electronics and volume manipulation, the Convex cut enhances the dance floor potential of the original with bubbling, arpeggiated 303 bass.

Limited Edition Vinyl & Digital of the long awaited Remixes II package of Joe Goddards 'Gabriel' feat. Valentina.This massive package is opened by another brilliant Drum n Bass interpretation from Calibre. Rolling soulful Cailbre at his best. Hammered by big players such as Marcus Intalex, DJ Friction, Fabio & Hype. It also includes of course the much talked about Soulwax Remix which actually was a late xmas present from the Deweale bros to Joe and which has been championed by the likes of Erol Alkan, Rob da Bank & Riton. Finally we have a funktastic version from The Aston Shuffle complete with that calypso feeling. DJ support. Marcus Intalex, Friction, Fabio, Hype, Zane Lowe, Rob da Bank, Annie Mac, Kissy Sellout , Toddla T, Mistajam, John Kennedy, Eddy Temple Morris, Erol A, Boys Noize, Riton, Tayo. Groove Armada.

Berlin is multi-colored, multi-cultural and loud. Berlin is everything you want, if you want it. A city, which satisfies the autonomic needs of its citizens by offering enough space to drift away. You can find the big love here, as you can get lost in the endless nights. Nights, which dictate a communal 4/4-heartbeat and let you forget about everything. This untouched romance is one of the reasons, why Berlin evolved into a world-wide hotspot for electronic music in the last 20 years. The worlds best DJs shake hands at the airport, the most interesting releases are recorded in the local studios and the very well-known booking agencies, clubs and labels are only a few steps away from each other. Thanks to this network, we can host the Berlin Music Days (BerMuDa) for the third time. To bear this international festival in mind, we prepared a compilation, which lightens every facet of our colorful city as a double-CD: 'Day' and 'Night' - always a love-hate relationship. The day-edition underlines every pre- or after-hour with atmospheric tracks from Solomun, Materik, DeWalta, Fritz Kalkbrenner and many more. The night-time equivalent unfolds the dark pull of Berlins clubs with sounds from Elle

The forthcoming release adds another notch to what s been an impressive and prolific year for Funkineven, closely following that all-conquering Fatima collaboration Phone Line'and the Funkinevil record produced with Kyle Hall. The two track on it make for a stylistic about-turn from the TV theme funk of the last Apron release (and artwork of the year contender) Chips & Sweets, Dracula is the kind of stuttering 303 acid jam FunkinEven is an expert of, reminiscent of the brilliant Rolands Jam, while Cha! is a loose-limbed slice of proto-techno which goes heavy on the unfiltered analogue bass, driven forward with lolloping drum machine beats. Released on red coloured vinyl, the look & sound for a perfect horror movie soundtrack !!!

New single 'Professional Griefers', released on August 14th, sits on the tougher end of deadmau5's productions and features Gerard Way on vocals. Other collaborations include 'Channel 42' with Wolfgang Gartner, 'Telemiscommincations' with Imogen Heap, recent single 'The Veldt' featuring Chris James and 'Failbait' featuring legendary hip-hop outfit Cypress Hill. deadmau5, who recently headlined the Wireless Festival in London, returns to the UK to perform at Creamfields in Cheshire August 26th and has been confirmed on the bill for this year's iTunes Festival September 9th. Initial copies of the album CD feature a lenticular cover.

Previously only available as part of his subscription 12' series 'Mixed Fortunes', these two 12's heralds the first original material from Rory Phillips, following a 7 year run of well received remixes for the indie and dance elite, played by everyone from A Trak to DJ Harvey.
Named to reflect the stylistic range of the series, Mixed Fortunes channels the same spirit of musical adventure heard in both Phillips's remix work and in his genre-hopping DJ sets, with tracks both by Phillips alone in his well stocked analogue studio as well as some undertaken with a range of top secret collaborators.
This first digital release combines the first two 12's in one package, which ranges from arpeggiated disco (Chamber Music), through robot punk (Factor 50) and acid house (Cosmic Fluff), ending in Carpenter-esque suspense (Mover) while staying true to Rory's trademark sound, which he has showcased across Europe, Asia, the USA and South America this year alone.DJ Support has come from right across the board: Including, Erol Alkan, 2ManyDJs, Aeroplane, Prins Thomas, Brodinski, Headman, The Magician, Daniel Avery, Danny Daze, Mighty Mouse, Classixx, Punks Jump Up, Joakim, and Jacques Renault.

FRESH FROM ROCKING CROATIA THE BOYS ARE BACK & NEXT UP IS AN EP FROM THE ONE AND ONLY GREYMATTER WHO DROPS 3 KILLER TRACKS THAT CROSSOVER TO A FEW GENRE'S OF HOUSE MUSIC BUT ALL WITH THAT WOLF MUSIC FEEL. ROUNDED OFF WITH A KILLER REMIX FROM JAMES WELSH THIS IS BOUND TO FLY OFF THE SHELVES.

Doppel-LP mit exklusiven Tracks des Musikprojekts Selbstversorgersound. SVS (Selbstversorgersound) wurde von Beni Brachtel alias Bartellow im Jahr 2007 ins Leben gerufen - mit dem Ziel, Künstler abseits ihres gewohnten Umfeldes und unter reduzierten Lebensbedingungen zusammenzuführen. Jedes Jahr im Spätsommer schließen sich ausgewählte Musiker und Produzenten für zwei Wochen auf einer Selbstversorger-Hütte in den Alpen ein. Ohne Mobilfunknetz und Internet, aber bis unters Dach mit Studio-Equipment ausgestattet. Unter dem Titel "SVS1" erscheint nun das Ergebnis dieser Zusammenarbeit auf Mayolove Music. "SVS1" ist die erste offizielle Werkschau, die sich aus zehn Arbeiten der letzten drei Jahre zusammensetzt und von Künstlern stammt, deren Backgrounds kaum unterschiedlicher sein könnten, darunter Violetta Parisini (Universal Music), Acht Schaltkreise (Günther Lause, Berlin), Bartellow (Pollyester, Columbus, GTA Hoffmann), Harry Jen (Winner FM4 Soundpark), Larkin & The Sky (Munich Boiler), Tom2k (Bauer & Bartosek, When I Dip, KONG, Munich Boiler).

To mark its 11th release CE launches a new V/A compilation series featuring exclusive material from some of the hottest names in Electro from across the Globe right now. The World Electronix series will be strictly limited to 4 x single press 12's with no re-issue. The first instalment of World Electronix aims to showcase the darker dance floor side of the genre. The series kicks off with Parisian resident Carl A Finlow AKA Silicon Scally who turns in a signature style machine tech roller reminiscent of his early SCSI-AV works. The duty then shifts to Spain's number one electro export Boris Divider with a clinical, tight, Rother-esque groove. On the flip we see London based CE label head Sync 24 join forces with Australia's Abstract Forms label owner Deixis. The debut release for these 2 artists is a spooky,spacey affair with haunting vocals and a killer sub!! Rounding off the EP are Finnish duo Morphology, who alter the proceedings with a freaky 4/4 electro piece. The following editions of World Electronix will include tracks from E.R.P, Versalife, Gosub, The Exaltics, CRC, Dynarec, Fastrgraph, Plant43, DeFeKT, Steve Allman, Sync 24 & Deixis. Watch this space!!

Composing an entire electronic album around the notorious 15th Century Cult Of Assassins, New Jersey based producer Jorge Velez (Italians Do It Better, Thisnotanexit), better known as Professor Genius, has created a unique and ambitious piece of work, under the guise of Hassan, which strongly stands apart from his previous efforts. Check!
Largely based around layered atmospheric Arabic-styled synth work and sparse percussion throughout, Hassan employs an entirely electronic palette to bring listeners into a secret world filled with darkness, drama, triumph and chaotic dissonance.

Recorded in Berlin over the last few months, The Observer At The Starhouse sparks with a rare magic as Dr Alex Paterson and long-time Orb member Thomas Fehlmann construct a panorama of stripped-down backdrops to provide the perfect backdrops for the Upsetter's inimitable pronouncements, righteous declarations and sweet vocals.
The Orb have long been known for their assimilation of deepest dub into their stratospheric sonic innovations, as evidenced on U.F. Orb's Towers Of Dub, itself something of a Lee Perry tribute with its sound effects and distinctive underlying eccentricity. Starting in the late 60s with the Upsetters, Perry wrote the book on Jamaican mixing desk trickery, then constantly ripped it up to create new aural blueprints for the music via his Black Ark productions of the following decade, since then charting a waywardly idiosyncratic path which has ensured legions of followers absorbing his every move.

The Dutch producer/remixer, known for his mix of rock and big beats (and often compared to CHEM BROS or PRODIGY) drops this 12" feat 'COSMIC RAVE' & 'DREAM ON'. Two booty shakin' instrumental house cuts !!

Kelpe's recent 'I Felt Fuzzy' EP on April was his first drop in a year and it dropped deep, selling out its vinyl run and attracting praise from all forms media, old and new. The muse was clearly high, new tracks were popping out and, with a serious banger of a remix from Neon Jung in the bag, it seemed only right to put out another EP quick sharp. Where 'I Felt Fuzzy' came in at 23 minutes and a whole side of remixes, here the focus is on Kelpe's own productions, and at 15 minutes with longer workouts leading the opening of each side, followed by shorter more beat-based works, it's very much the classic extended play single, something Svetlana Industries promotes as the perfect format for electronic music. Kicking off with a rolling, bouncing rhythm played live on kitchen pots and pans, title track 'Bags Of Time' s bounding forward motion belies its relatively relaxed speed. 110BPM is actually a classic Kelpe tempo, that territory between hip hop and house which only a few producers can properly drive. Also classic Kelpe is the fat analogue synth riff that holds down the bottom end, slowly morphing throughout the tune. 'Double Punt' is an elegant and more serious statement, the beat is less obvious, the chord sequence sombre, the sound levels building until it enters a synthy stew. It feels forboding, ambiguous, a new side to Kelpe. On the flip, Neon Jung's Wormhole Remix of 'Bags Of Time' is just breathless, conjuring up a dizzy vortex of sound right from the start. Audibly building on the same blocks as the original, but channeling a whole flow, this is contemporary UK dance music at its finest. At a club friendly 135bpm, it ties the heavy syncopated rhythm tracks of UK bass to an increasingly euphoric melody that peaks at a righteous, giddy and glorious frenzy. The EP's red lantern is 'City, a quiet belter with heavy heavy heavy analogue bass over understated drums, until a very pretty melody drops. With the flavours of classic electro hip hop fattened up for the new millennium, 'City' s synth parts are poetic and beautiful, and it's a subtle little treasure to close off the disc.

Great music stands the test of time, we all know that right Only artists with supreme talent make music that can move you even years after its creation. Dieter Kolb and Franz Aumüller have certainly used their talents to leave a noticeable dent in the world of both Music and Art. They first met at kindergarten and then went on to form one of the most mysterious production teams Germany has ever produced. Together with another school buddy Franz Knüttel they created sounds so unique and ahead of their time that maybe the rest of us weren't quite ready!

Pip Williams & DeFeKT are both regulars on Dave Clarke's highly respected White Noise show. With Pip's "Fundamental" recently being played on BBC 6 as a future track to watch. Now released as part of the Modular Realms EP, this is limited to 200 units worldwide
