We've had our eyes on Jaures since they formed in 2014. Jaures's drums are neither techno nor electro but something of their very own, making the duo one of the most interesting young production units in Germany right now.

Brand new set of 3 x 7" on the Principe Discos Label out of Lisbon.

Txiga means something like "come close" and that takes us right into the heart of the matter. Although especially apparent in the tarraxo style they are so connected to, the expression reveals unbounded enthusiasm for music, taken from the roots up, wherever the feeling projects it to. And so we felt this crew had to come across in a special way. Three seven inch records, one for each of the main producers (Wayne is kept as a reserve), represent three branches of the same tree.
The 4 tracks produced by K30 explore a more synthetic approach to the syncopated African sound of the streets, a sort
of avant-garde technoid expression of the batida identity. Sparse atmospheres, exotic percussion punches and something of a minimalist nature. "Melodias Do K30" bring in more drama but also a casual production method assumed as such - check the false ending. OK, DJ NinOo, with ondulating Oo's and that's exactly what it feels like when you get to the end of the spacey, romantic
"Ambientes Leves", an outstanding slow jam guaranteed to keep those rainy days happy. The extra heavy bassline pairs
up with circular synth waves for a sweet and sour atmosphere nothing else than unique. Then comes "Saudades Do Russel", a loving dedication in house tempo and sporting a complex, nostalgic keys workout. We chose two old cuts by Puto Anderson that might seem to limit the perspective regarding his production, but these actually push us back to the sort of raw ground zero where the whole batida substance has evolved from. Heavy, minimal, aggressive and happy in a way most os us can only try to grasp. The relentless, gritty groove on both tracks
comes from another era to fall flat on the centre of the dancefloor and keep things tight.

Minimal Bass swinger. B Side got a good story telling.... Tribal

DAISUKE KONDO from Okayama, Japan, releases a 12' vinyl Rongorongo.' Dynamic rhythm and dubby multi-layered house groove are equipped in side A 1 O-N-RA.' Side A 2 Turn' is a dance track that has tribal rhythm and cosmic scale. On the side B, two cool similar versions remixed by a young genius KEITA SANO, which feel 'raw,' are recorded. He is from Okayama as well, and has released his works from various labels around the world, such as Mister Saturday Night or Crue-L, now attracting a lot of attention. The low sound that sounds like it is boosting speakers feels comfortable. This is a special single produced by two youngsters from the same town.

Keine Spielereien, einzig Signalsounds, starke Beat-Patterns und Bass, Bass, Bass mit voller Wucht. Die Vielfältigkeit von "Silent Witness", ein massiver Groover, über "I Come By Night", ein echter 4 To The Floor Slammer, bis hin zu wunderbar melodischen Tracks wie "Gas Up" oder der Albumversion der 12" Vorabsingle "The Praetorian". Wie auch die Vorgängeralben ist dieses hier aus einem Stück. Jeder einzelne Track ordnet sich dem Ganzen unter und sind dennoch Hits, jeder einzelne. Eben Killer! Gemacht für die aufgepimpte Anlage in deinem Auto, für entspanntes, aber lautes Hören zuhause oder über gute Kopfhörer. Also, rave on! Shed "The Killer" wurde im März 2012 produziert eine erstaunlich kurze Zeit für eine ganze Albumproduktion. Es wurde dadurch noch homogener und ist eine wahre Liebeserklärung an den Techno.

Viscera is stretched out, bursting and tearing open. Ancient pain, which had crawled deep and crept into the most remote folds of their skin, to be sheltered there by eternal darkness, wails and moans as it coils up.(1) And all of mankind's sorrows howl from the depth of a trumpet: Europe... you nickering ghost! Europe... wretched of the earth!(2)

But who or what rolls and rumbles over there in such an ear-splitting manner A listener's first impression may suggest the enchanted soundscape of a fatigued electronic soloist, but 1115 are a duo: FEHLER KUTI and GREY provide us with a sonic vision that can only emerge from the synthesis of two radical minds. Think of the meetings of Suicide, Yello or The KLF: A pop big bang of conceptual art and bodily music.

The fusion of FEHLER's onomatopoeic vocal tracks and GREY's bass/organ/808-drum machine elements create a unique and original work, an afrofuturistic Musique concrete, which could not be heavier in its psychedelic might. Totally hypnotised, we hear old instruments, lost along an ocean passage. Flutes, spinets and oboes propel themselves through the helium mist out of purgatory towards the light. People Get Ready.

The plot of this supposed instrumental music is, in short, a story of invisibility'(3) - and of how this invisibility, experienced as negation and extinction, is given a visually audible' expression through the invention of a new language.(4)

To be part of all the noise and anguish(5) these two phantasmal sound warlocks gulped(6) down several generations of collective experience across the Black Atlantic (7) to spew out something new: An acid bath(8) of gastric juices lends first contours to the invisible's negative exposures: A thrown-up group photo stretching multiple generations. This musical carcass begins to pulse, and interlinks with overtone choirs and the ephemeral angel dust of deported heavenly children. Thus a new language is born.

It is a way of speaking that resembles the description of a multi-layered(9) or even completely removed(10) graffiti. In fact, it is a description of the existence of humans(11), who live or have lived. Be it in the parallel world of Italian plantations, whose fruits are displayed in supermarkets such as Rewe, Lidl and Tengelmann. Be it in the jungle of Calais(12) . Be it in deportation and social isolation. The European Union, which opened and revealed itself to PoC(13) , does not appear to exist at all.

If we follow 1115(14) down their Underground Railroad(15) , a mythology that becomes more vivid with each station emerges, and takes on a cartographic form. A spatial sculpture made of music! FEHLER KUTI performs the role of the Invisible Stranger - without any use of language in the semantic sense - not in a dissimilar way to Caetano Veloso on Araçá Azul or Miles Davis, though different and novel. Once you understand that Miles Davis did nothing else but tell stories of racism and alienation throughout his career, will you then understand Post-Europe.

Post-Europe is therefore not only music, just as an opera(16) is not only music. Drawn into the deep through subtext and shiftwork, 1115 dive through a stream of electronic music alongside colleagues like Arca and Dean Blunt, Drexicya and Dopplereffekt, as well as Juan Atkins and Moritz von Oswald, Rahsaan Roland Kirk and Sun Ra. But the voices of the libretto belong to the non-musicians and non-artists, the erased and forgotten. The invisibles.

If we listen to the phonograph patiently while playing this music(17) , unheard sounds surface. In time, voices tear off, and become distinct. They say what they need to say. They let others speak. And suddenly there is a space... that unfolds, that speaks. Deep inside it, an ancient lament emerges, wrapped within the invisible words: What did I do to be so black and blue

1115 don't simply play on a stage in front of an audience. They absorb time and space!(18) Last December, they could be experienced at the legendary Alien-Disko-Festival at Munich Kammerspiele.

Post-Europe was produced by Markus Acher and Cico Beck (The Notwist, Joasihno). According to the rules of pop music, this record should not even exist.(19) The sirens are booming. The dance floor is ready. It's just getting started.

Vinyl reissue of 2012 "Psyops For Dummies" with two unreleased tracks: "Hypoalgesia" and "Cognitive Load Theory"Sherard Ingram - DJ STINGRAY - has been an active member in Detroit's electronic music community for nearly 25 years now. Never shy of a collaboration, Ingram spent much of the '90s teaming up with Carl Craig, Anthony 'Shake' Shakir and Kenny Dixon Jr. to create a rich downtempo sound as Urban Tribe, with culminated in the release of 1998's much-lauded The Collapse of Modern Culture album. He was then recruited to be the tour DJ for Drexciya in their final days, taking to the decks as DJ Stingray and masking his face from the audience, something he continues to do for all of his DJ appearances.

No-one else makes music like this: devilishly complex but warm and intuitive, stirring together a dizzying assembly of outernational and outerspace influences, whilst retaining the subby funk-and-hot-breath pressure of Shackleton's soundboy, club roots.The result is an evolutionary, truly alchemical music — great shifting tides of dub, minimalist composition and choral song (Five Demiurgic Options), ritual spells to ward off the darkness (Before The Dam Broke, The Prophet Sequence), radiophonia and zoned-out guitar improv (Seven Virgins), even the febrile, freeform psychedelia of eighties noise rock (Sferic Ghost Transmits / Fear The Crown). Over the five years since Music For The Quiet Hour, Vengeance's vocal and lyrical range has rolled out across this new terrain. Throughout these six transmissions he's hoarse preacher, sage scholar and ravaged bluesman, blind man marching off to war, and exhausted time-traveller warning of impending socio-ecological catastrophe. Six dialogic accounts of our conflicted times, then, expanding beyond the treacly unease of the duo's early collaborative work into something subtler and more emotionally shattering — its shades of brightness more dazzling, and its darkness even murkier. "We almost didn't hear it when the foundations went."

Tryck & Ton is run by Edvin E & Anton Klint. After a couple of amazing edit releases the guys return with the first original work from the newly founded label. Conga Liver is a percussion driven banger with serious highs and lows. The track gets remix treatment from Lisbons finest Tiago, who adds a discogroove, horns & an incredibly groovy baseline to the table. Final track 'On The Flip' is a playful groover sounding like Robotnik having a loud wine-impregnated argument with Tony Allen over who to host the afterparty.

Azymuth drummer Ivan 'Mamao' Conti's forthcoming self-titled solo project, remixed by West London broken beat pioneer IG Culture for a scorching club monster, alongside three future-funk remixes from 22a records family Tenderlonious, Reginald Omas Mamode IV and Jeen Bassa.

Ivan 'Mamao' Conti is one of the greatest drummers on earth. A true rhythmic innovator, he is Brazil's answer to Tony Allen, Steve Gadd, and Bernard Purdie (no small claim considering the country's famed samba connection). Known by most as one third of Azymuth, his career spans far beyond with over half a century's worth for recordings with the likes of Milton Nascimento, Eumir Deodato, Marcos Valle, Hyldon, Gal Costa and Jorge Ben. More recently Mamao recorded an album with hip-hop royalty Madlib under the shared moniker 'Jackson Conti'.

Now aged seventy, Mamao's work ethic is as strong as ever. In anticipation of a new Ivan Conti solo album set for release in 2017, Far Out Recordings have commissioned a series of remixes to be spread across two separate 12's. The first is a strictly London affair, with a fiery broken-boogie club monster from West London pioneer IG Culture, joined by the signature future-funk of 22a Records family Tenderlonious, Reginald Omas Mamode IV and Jeen Bassa. The second 12' will host remixes from Max Graef, Glenn Astro and Contours.

One-off collaboration with Off-White c/o Virgil Abloh.

Oh the joy of leaving you with this mystery. Noone really knows exactly who the Pilgrims Of Peace are or how their music ended up in our hands. But this dubbed out 2 tracker is so smokin' hot we don't really care, the music will take you there... Prins Thomas. Mambo HQ 25th of Januray 2017

Prolific doesn't begin to describe Japan's Keita Sano, who has come seemingly out of nowhere to become one of the most unique new voices in electronic music thanks to a wildly eclectic clutch of releases for much-hyped labels like 1080p, Joakim's Crowdspacer, Mister Saturday
Night, Spring Theory, Discos Capablanca and more. Building on that buzz, Sano is unleashing still more head-twisting takes on house and techno via New York's Most Excellent Unlimited.

Label boss Paul Raffaele has found a kindred spirit in Sano. Their shared love of classic dance music and refusal to let genre or convention define their work makes MXU a natural home for the Sunset EP,' coming as it does on the heels of the category-smashing Oyama Edit' 12' and a 7' of drum track edits by disco king Danny Krivit. Diverse and unafraid to upend expectation, its hard to imagine a party where at least one of these jams wouldn't set things off.

The title track mixes discoid guitars with lush pads and a echoing handclaps, anchored by a deep, chugging bass line. It's the kind of track that's begging for a dance floor building towards hands-in- the-air release. Chango' shows off Sano's rhythmic proficiency and fondness for killer samples, tweaking the raved-out formula of Onion Slice' for deeper dance floors.

The drum attack continues on Nothing For Nothing' which pairs a massive batucada groove with ecstatic synths, whistles and afro-inflected strings carrying the melodic weight. Sano closes out the proceedings with a deft rendition of the sort of fuzzed out techno that's coming in waves on labels like Lobster Theremin. Changing the mood dramatically, Daze' substitutes a storming distorted kick for the sampled drums that came before, layering fuzzed out claps, martial snare patters, spaced- out cymbals, and miasmic synths that strobe like a rescue beacon on a dance floor flooded with smoke.

17 tracks split across 2 pieces of vinyl Double gatefold vinyl with sleeve notes and photographs.

Art, of any kind, encompasses the unique and distinctive output of its creator: an inimitable human being. It points to a blueprint map of who this creator is, encapsulates their experiences and somehow points to how they arrive at their creation(s). This blueprint, although lending glimmer into one life, connects deeply into an unfathomable amount of other lives - lending an expression and effect. With this in mind, we go on a journey with Dowinowe - the first solo artist release for the Gqom oh! label - on his debut "GQOM004" Dominowe is a 19 year old producer from the Newlands east township of Durban, South Africa who started out making music just for his friends. This release snapshots important themes in his evocative personal journey - expressed in his own very unique style. Releasing on Vinyl in 27th of January 2017, the EP, titled SiyaThakatha', showcases Dominowe's original style in the context of the Durban electronic music scene especially when paced beside Gqom and Sghubu. The listener gets a real sense of his complexity and the variety of styles Dominowe is capable of producing. "SiyaThakatha", the EP name, is translated _black_ _magic,_ or, _we witching - _ which is right at the heart of this release: that listening to these sounds invite you into the universe of an unseen world, putting you in touch with what can only described as invisible energy - a combination of the ideal, the intangible, the unattainable and the other-worldly whilst on journey with a 19year old from Durban whose music is composed of influence and innovation. It is about gqom working its magic on the dance floor for people to move - to the distinctive beats and cultural rhythms. It features four tracks - including one skit outro - as well as three tracks on digital download. The tracks were chosen specifically as a reflection of the variety of styles Dominowe produces and the originality of his productions.

A WELOCME RETURN FOR SPIRITUAL LIFE ARTIST JEPTHE GUILLAUME WITH A BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF HOUSE MUSIC.

Argentine musician Daniel Melingo is an established artist in his own right in the Tango world, and his powerful and distinctive track 'Narigon' from 2005 is a classic, that got it's deserved vinyl release on Desolat Special Edition 002. This November Desolat is proud to unveil three fantastic official remixes of 'Narigon' from Radio Slave & Thomas Gandey, Ario and Guti. It all started a few years ago when Desolat discovered Ario's amazing unofficial remix of 'Narigon', which has been a constant feature in Loco Dice's DJ sets ever since. So great was the reaction to 'Narigon' that Desolat licensed the original and got Daniel Melingo to re-sing the acapella especially for their artists to work on. All three mixes offer wonderfully different perspectives. Radio Slave & Thomas Gandey's mix is an extended 15 minute hypnotic rhythmic masterclass, Ario stays close to the spirit of the original while Guti injects a twisted groove. With the original tango track featured as a digital exclusive this is a refreshingly brilliant package for those who want music rich with flair, colour and passion.

Seventh part in the very exclusive 'Schatrax' repress series. Handstamped 180 grams coloured vinyl.

Alexander Palmestal was fifty procent of the electro duo Pistol Disco - a band that during the 00's bustled around in the music scene of Gothenburg and became known for having a certain sound and for their unpredictable and often magical live shows. The later incarnation of the band took a step away from the German 70's influences to move towards a more club friendly universe. In 2015 the band released the 7inch 'Goo/Pool' on Hoga Nord Rekords which was their last release and now Palmestal, under the name Mythologen, make a release on Hoga Nord Rekords.
Mythologen continues building on the foundations that Pistol Disco and Palmestal's other band Iberia was made upon. The songs on this album named 'Mythologen' is the perfect combination of the fragility and melancholy of Iberia and Pistol Disco's monotony and drive. Underneath layers of dreamy, free floating synthesizers and restrained yet steady drumbeats lies muffled melodies waiting for the air to be let in. And then, all of a sudden the clouds disappear and the sunlight is beaming down over the music, like on the closing track 'Brighter Summer Day'. In other songs on the album the darkness is more present, embodied by polyrhythmic tribal drums giving the music weight and suggestion.
'Mythologen' is the soundtrack for recovering from a depression. The album seduces the whole spectrum of your moodswings, eliminates your ego and moves your focus from the past to the future.

Credit 00 strikes back with four cuts between Jungle Funk and sublime Party bombs. "Tribal Rhythm Machine" starts off with subtle but effective drumming that works on the dance floor as much as it could be the soundtrack to your road trip to Utopia. Then there is "Curse Of The Medusa", a pretty rumbling track that takes full advantage of its super-funky vocal samples and almost explosive percussion action. "Voodoo Soup" fishes in muddy waters with Credit 00's distinctive drum work and tribal sounds from outer space. The final track "Snake Charmer" is building things up nice and steady. But when the hypnotizing synth melody breaks ground neither serpents nor dancers can resist. The artwork was created by Alexander Dorn a.k.a. Credit 00 himself.

17 tracks Single CD, jewel case. 10 page rollfold booklet with sleeve notes and photographs.

This MUSHROOM HOUSE EP is the first release in a series of EP's that will feature this new weirdo house sound that is influenced by ethno, afro, psychedelic music. On this first 4 track EP you get new music from ALIEN ALIEN aka Italian producers Rodion & Hugo Sanchez with a Detroit techno kind of track with mushroomey space voices that drive a dancefloor crazy. (Alien Alien previously released on Turbo, Nein, Slow Motion, Gomma). Then Australian surfer kid and house producer JAD & THE LADYBOY doing a afro heavy old school MPC house jam. (Jad released also records on Exploited and Toy Tonics). Gomma boss MUNK is featured with his Surf Smurf - collaboration with REBOLLEDO (Pachanga Boys). As a bonus track you get the legendary DJ KOZE remix of WHOMADEWHO's Keep me in my plane. Released some years ago, three times repressed and sold out. Sounding now fresher then ever. The MUSHROOM HOUSE series features mostly new tracks, produced exclusively for TOY TONICS.

The Maghreban returns with essential new house odyssey 'Brooklyn', named after his dead cat.

* His second outing on Black Acre, 'Brooklyn' is a breathtaking night flight, viewed through a prism both phantasmagorical and seedily terrestrial. Trance inducing Caribbean percussion, possessed chants, Motown bass, sci-fi synths, wayward filter sweeps, analogue free jazz - all get their moment to shine in the weird and wonderful 8-minute microcosm that is 'Brooklyn'.

* Flip-side 'The Carpenters' strikes a more domesticated tone, with motorik industrial dub eventually giving way to haunted sci-fi bachelor pad lounge.

Yet more Italians on Optimo Trax! Josè Manuel delivers 4 unique exotic, fourth world, tribal slabs of ritual music.
A1, "The Great Beast in Outer Space" is actually an Andrew Liles track that Jose has completely reworked and sprinkled his magick on. Mr. Liles is one of my favourite producers in the world, both for his solo work and for his input into my all time heroes Nurse With Wound. For those who know his work, having something by him that will work on a dancefloor may bring a smile to your face. Thankfully I know him a bit and he was more than happy to grant permission for this to be released.
A2, "Folklore" is Fourth World exotica reimagined for late night dance rites.
AA1, "Ritual", is exactly what the title says it is.
AA2, Sisi leaves the dance floor completely and even though Optimo Trax is 100% aimed at DJs, was simply too lovely to leave off.

U Know Me Records in collaboration with Polish Juke proudly presents the very first Polish footwork vinyl record - Rhythm Baboon's 'The Lizard King' EP.

RB: 'The Lizard King' is an outcome of my fascination with Chicago Footwork/Juke. Most of the tracks were created during a couple of spontaneous home studio sessions earlier this year. It was a raw play with the sounds and sampling with no particular plan that made the material more fun and dance-friendly than any of my previous records.

The record features five original tracks and one remix by the legendary DJ Fulltono (Japan). Mastered by Mikolaj Bugajak, album artwork created by Stach Szumski.
