special double pack for all you Ianus71 lovers out there - contains 2 classic releases
ianus71-002: metrica - one night (fup / system of survival remix)
ianus71-003: outart - shiver's hole ep

Universally recognized as a founding father of the disco edit, Danny Krivit took cleverly spliced reworks from the realm of one-off private pressings and carefully guarded reel-to-reels and put them in the hands of any DJ savvy enough to seek out the Mr. K name. That single initial came to be an undisputed mark of quality, from sound and fidelity to usefulness on the decks. With this latest release, Most Excellent Unlimited continues celebrating Danny's 45th anniversary of DJing with another 45-RPM pressing of two classic Krivit edits, both appearing on 7-inch format for the first time.

"Happy Song" takes a different tack, as Danny focuses on a short percussion intro to the original mix—a soulful rock cut— and works it into a DJ tool that thumpingly rattles the walls and uses successive crescendos to build tension and release, once again showing his mastery of the incendiary tribal build- up. Although there is a notorious 12-inch edit of "Happy Song" in mono, this pressing is the first time the song has appeared on 7-inch and in stereo.

"Erucu" was originally released on a soundtrack LP in 1974, and, despite being barely more than a minute in length, quickly became an essential part of many club jocks' sets. Danny's edit is a textbook example of the art of extending a mix, as he takes tiny segments of the bass-heavy original and teases them into a building, energetic, five-minute banger.

As always, this Most Excellent release will be pressed at the highest quality, and in limited quantities.

Throughout this landmark year of Krivit's auspicious career, look out for more in Most Excellent Unlimited's series of sevens charting Danny's trailblazing path through dance music, as well as special 45s-only sets Mr. K will be adding to his already diverse repertoire.

The new offshoot of Isaiah Tapes - Baptismo Alpinismo - presents brooding soundscapes in a 7-inch red-marbled cut. The two pieces by Arnheim work as soundtracks for individuals braving themselves towards self discovery within the structures of the concrete jungles. Come Into Rain dominates with minimalistic harmonies of industrial vocation, supplements its percussive rhythms and reflects current movement of nasty landscape figures..Red Blue borrows direct from these surroundings.... Echoes of funky drums, ever so powerful in clubs of dancers are still resonant and the depth of piano still sonorous. The saxophone solo is taken direct from this concrete jungle, its environment seeping into the groove. Cars, sirens, people, the monotony of city captured on the two-sided, red-marbled, disk for ones' own self discovery. Soundscapes for innerview.

Quick-strike follow up to the massive Move D supported PERSIE001!!
Persies is a party oriented edits label focused on re-working, re-touching and re-purposing an eclectic selection of gems for the dancefloor. Beefed up, pared-down and dangerous. Vinyl only white label, 300 press.

This is the result of the collaboration between two artists who share many of the things they have in common in music and in their own lifes. 6THPRLL is the soundtrack of the sound concept that Slam Jam asked to Khalab (Black Acre, Wonderwheel) and Dj Hendrix (Scenario) for its multidisciplinary project. A study summarized in this track which is a straight trip to the deepest groove that aims at a description of consciousness alteration, a particulary state that can took the listener to a paraller dimension. A slow path from the origin of the sound to its more futuristic declensions. The result is this limited edition 7''.

Optimo Music release REEL HOUZE's 'Optimo Music Disco Plate Two' in mid November.

Following on from the summer hit that was Noo's Optimo Disco Plate one, we are delighted to present the second plate, this one an archival release from London's Reel Houze. Reel Houze are/were Dominic Dawson and Rob Mello, and these two tracks were originally released in 1996. Big with Twitch at the time, he dug out "No Difference" again last year and started playing it once more and then did the same with "The Chance". They felt and sounded timeless so it seemed a good idea to make these Dub Disco wonders available again to a new generation.

'The Chance" is based on a sample form Dinosaur L's "Go Bang". It is nearly 11 minutes of dubbed out disco madness featuring one of thee all time greatest Moog solos, played live by Rob Mello. DJ Harvey gets frenetic on the percussion (he's playing a toilet seat!). It's loose, it's a little debauched and is further proof that disco music can be out there, wild, modern and any tempo it goddamn wants to be.

"No Difference" is the closest thing we can imagine to Basic Channel doing disco. Loose, long, extremely dubbed out and mesmeric, in the right hands it is swinging, sexy club hypnotiser.

Argentina has a rich history when it comes to dance music and Gonzalo Solimano is one of the country's finest electronic flag-bearers. With his Unlock Recordings imprint he's created a heavy back-catalogue that the likes of Barem, Guti, Luca M and Daniel Sanchez have all contributed to.

After a short break Solimano is back with his 'Factor H' EP and the original mix is a tropical, cow bell laden treat, one that sums up the nation's sound nicely. On remix duty is both Fase and fellow Argentinian maestro Guti.

The producer's last full-length was the jazz-inspired 'Rompecorazones' and now a remix LP is set to follow but here we focus on his amazing edit of 'Factor H'.

Guti has maintained the percussive elements of the original but added a significant amount of groove and focused on adding in thick kick drums and more drive. It's one you can imagine on the terraces or at 4am in a darkened room and this is why Guti is such a don. Check it.

NEW ZEALAND'S FINEST EXPORT FRANK BOOKER WITH 3 SUPERB AFRO TINGED REWORKS. FOR THE MIGHTY KAT.

Pye Corner Audio emerges from the winter darkness with his latest collection of creeping beats & woozy pulses for the haunted disco.

'After Dark' is instant night, acid-tinged and full of promise. 'She Hunts At Night' glides majestically over agitated pulses and 'Something Happened' creeps inexorably towards you. The nocturnal quest continues with 'Before Dawn', bleary-eyed and heart beating fast. 'Prowler' ratchets up the tension with insomniac propulsion. 'Decade Counter' echoes in the abandoned city at dawn and finally 'Morning' stumbles into the light, bloodied but safe. Until the night begins once more...

We'd like to proudly announce GPM289 as a very special release, indeed. The occasion A Francesco Tristano's hand behind a set of five killer tracks that conform ‚Piano, Hats & Stabs EP', an EP made for open-eared and open-minded listeners. Tristano, virtuoso pianist and composer known for his taste for the electronic and hybrid, has been blowing away dance music-heads for a while thanks to his impressive live sets solo and alongside the likes of Moritz von Oswald and Carl Craig - with whom he recently appeared on a special edition of Boiler Room. Now, Get Physical has the honor to be hosting the musician's even deeper delve into the world of techno. Inspired by an 'ongoing quest to unite the sounds of the acoustic grand piano with electronic synthesizers, sequences and drum loops", the ‚Piano, Hats & Stabs EP' draws from over nine months of studio sessions all the way from Paris and Utrecht to Barcelona and Rome. A tense and reeling monster of a release that would seem aimed at leaving you breathless - and setting dance floors on fire -, you can almost picture Tristano hunched over a grand piano, hammering away like a madman for the five tracks that take us from ‚Dminorloop' split personality with its build-ups and deconstructions to the driving ‚Sarasani', on to ‚Stekker Sound Driver' decaying bassline and ‚Gaza World Cup' chest-thumping roll. It all ends on a lighter note with ‚Place on Lafayette' almost psychedelic keys - actually recorded on Lafayette Place, in Detroit. Techno, Electronica, classical Its been said a good artist is one who can defy genres and titles, and we'll be damned if there was a bigger defyer than Francesco Tristano. 'This is, in the words of the great Paul Frick, 'elektronische Körpermusik'. Plainly, time to get physical... I am absolutely thrilled to have a release here.

Samuel Rohrer's arjunamusic label is rapidly becoming a distinctive voice in an ever-expanding wilderness of musical experimentation, effortlessly finding the common ground between the improvisational impulse and the rhythmic architecture of electronic dance music. The emerging sound of this label is one that seems to be all at once biological, technological, and theoretical, and so the collaborative choice for this new release is a very appropriate one to continue down this path. Tyler Friedman, a multi-faceted creator whose experiments have included the stimulation of natural bioluminescence via an automated piano, brings a sense of hyper-realism to the table which meshes in very interesting ways with Rohrer's conversational percussive instincts.
Tyler Friedman's original mix of YYY' is led by a bouncing and playful set of melodic figures, featuring an intimate timbral quality like a hybrid kalimba and vibraphone. Various other tonal curiosities fly around the central figures like luminous insects, and this already intriguing tapestry of sound becomes more colorful via the gradual introduction of cleverly deployed de-tuning, sharp portamento shifts and stuttering delay effects. By the time the piece comes to a close, the effect is of
standing beneath a cascade of steadily falling sound objects, of being literally showered in sound.
The drum and vocal dub by Tyler Friedman and Samuel Rohrer, bringing the voice of Tora Augestad into the picture, captures the same cascading feel of the original with a very different, and occasionally 'grittier', instrumental vocabulary. Rohrer's nimble work on his kit helps the listener to navigate through an unfamiliar but intoxicating terrain of sensory impressions, as electronic treatments on Augestad's voice steadily transmogrify it into something silvery and synthetic before returning it back to its original form. Weaving dramatic melodicism and intense abstraction together like the double strands of a DNA molecule, this highly innovative mix should find ways enhance and expand just about any listening environment. YYY' is a record for those who enjoy the sound of artists challenging themselves to step outside of proscribed boundaries, and succeeding.
Tyler Friedman is a sound artist, composer and producer. His approach utilizes a blend of music theory, synthesis, sound design, analog/digital studio techniques and conceptual imagination. In addition to his own projects, he has collaborated on the sound and composition of multiple art projects, notably with Turner Prize nominees The Otolith Group, whose films have been commissioned by Documenta 13 and Haus der Kunst in Munich, and Andreas Greiner on his installation Multitudes for bio-luminescent algae and player piano. Recently he has had two releases of lysergic- experimental club music on the Swedish label Kontra Musik: a double EP titled CCC:BB:BBB:JJ and the 12" Vulkalaunai. Altogether, his practice is situated between art, creative engineering, musicology, club and theory.
Samuel Rohrer is one of the influential improvisational musicians of his generation in the field of experimental and improvised music and is touring worldwide performing on major festivals like Punkt Festivalen, NorthSea Festival, Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival, Nuits Sonores Lyon, Montréal International Festival or CTM Berlin and working with numerous projects and artists including

Laurie Anderson, Sidsel Endresen, Max Loderbauer, Nan Goldin, Jan Bang, Mark Feldman, Charles Gayle, Skuli Sverrisson, Eivind Aarset, Trygve Seim or Vincent Courtois. His work is since 2012 mainly released on his label arjunamusic records, besides a partly documentation on numerous ECM albums.

Rumored to be an alias project of 1 of the most famous DJ/producers in Japan. 4 tracks include a tribal Latin jazz funk edit, a long edit of a breakbeat funk classic, a tropical boogie edit, & a folky, mellow downtempo edit. Very useful stuff.

Francisco Allendes, a classic violinist with a synth rock background, one of the most interesting electronic music artists from Chile, already released on Ghostly, Cadenza and several other labels. Italian born DJ, producer and Ibiza resident Paola Poletto, is not only the 'first female DJ to ever perform at Pacha' - she is also a graduated sound engineer. Together Francisco and Paola are not only the nicest couple of dance music, but as a producer team they are also about to leave a deep mark on the musical landscape. Their Desolat debut is a 4 track EP with their unique view on house music, full of optimism, fun and sundrenched grooves. Enjoy!

Lil Silva's new EP sees him exploring love and meaning in his unique hybrid UK production idiom. Less tied to the frenetic pace of his 'for club play only' instrumentals, 'JIMI' sees him modulate through textures, in a meditative state of mind, traveling his inner visions and memories. Silva's vocals are weaved through tracks 'The Play', 'Lines'

Originally released under RON TRENT's CINEMATIC TRAVELS project on the"ANCIENT FUTURES" album, these tracks get released Stateside for the 1sttime on the new PRESCRIPTION CLASSICS imprint. A perfect mix of RONTRENT's timeless sensibilities for the dancefloor and live performance.

Long awaited domestic release featuring performances from ANGEL FIGUEROA (HERBIE HANCOCK, STING) and KARSH KALE (BILL LASWELL). Twelve tracks take you on a spacey adventure through sounds of house, nujazz, and downtempo heady business.

A renowned producer from the Barcelona scene, Pedro Vian has taken a significant step forward in his career with the creation of Modern Obscure Music. From this platform he is able to shape his vision of today's electronica, releasing material from likeminded artists while creating his own sound, combining silky dance rhythms with an experimental approach and dark atmospheres. So far Vian has collaborated with artists like Alex Trochut, Ital, Hieroglyphic Being, Sunny Graves and Federico Sancho, among others.
Pedro Vian is the new alter ego for Pettre, who has already released tracks on Hivern and for several years was one half of the duo Aster; the exciting project whose house music still echoes in the eardrums of its fans. This time Pedro Vian presents Black Toms EP, a new release accompanied with Inga Copeland and Pye Corner Audio reinterpretations. The publication of this record will be in mid June.

Debut EP for this young Cos/Mes relative. Every night before sleep she spends time hammering tracks alone in the dark. Far out and far eastern electronics!

Born Free is a sick label!!

Toronto native and production chameleon Sean Miller joins the ranks of Josh Wink's Ovum Recordings. After recent releases from the likes of Wink himself and Vince Watson (who released the label's 250th release at the end of 2014), Miller takes the helm for this bumping, grooving slice of tech house mastery with a latin twist. His production skills and deep knowledge of the dance floor have been proven time and again; with a catalogue that includes releases for Mobilee, Supernature, VIVa Music and Saved, his new 4-track EP is a welcome addition to his long list of musical accolades and allies. Sean's open-minded approach to dance music fits perfectly with Ovum's all encompassing, eclectic output and reach. On Matter of Time, Miller takes a departure from his trademark tech house romps on opener Vida. Already road tested at BPM to a rapturous reception, the track exudes a percussive, instrumental flair with sounds of afrobeat and latin-house squeezed between its rhythmic beats, flanked by wailing vocal chants. Sean also drops a Percapella version, heavy on the cowbell, drum flares and vocal chops, it strips back the beats completely for a sturdy tool for the DJ's. On the flip 'Come June' brings the carnival sound. Doused in uplifting, poly-rhythmic percussions and deep slabs of sub-weighted bass its a hip shaking sun dance for summer sun. Matter of Time is a divine triple header from Philadelphia's Ovum imprint and an excellent chapter in the evolving music history of Mr. Miller.

Bosq of Whiskey Barons tears into some Stevie. "As" is slowed to a funky slo mo disco, as waves of percussion drive "Another Star" to a galaxy far, far, away.

groovy & vibey Business

Luciano breezes into Cadenza Music's 10th anniversary year with a new single, 'Cachai'/'Dance Unity', released on February 25th. Whereas previous single 'Rise Of Angel' came from the heart, this brace of new music comes strictly from the mind; heady, experimental dancefloor tracks with an air of futurism to them that sets the scene for Luciano's next album, due this year, quite nicely. 'Cachai' fuses a bouncing, morning groove with stabbing operatic vocals and searing strings, light organ keys keeping the backbone of this decidedly trippy and minimal production, Luciano taking things back to the basics...'Dance Unity' keeps things in the similar vein, raw and minimal electronic drums, furry snares and an attention to the finer details, with hallucinatory blips, bleeps and haunting keys weaving their magic over the tracks 15 minute tenure. Luciano provides the call to the dancefloor, with 'Dance Unity's' lyric, and a fitting message in light of Cadenza's 10 year achievements.

Claudio Coccoluto THE italian pioneer for electronic club music continues his search for the ultimate record with three thick cut tribalesque discoid tracks full of groove, rhytm, patterns.

In Flagranti (Sasa and Alex) were coming into Geneva, spinning at La Graviere where I was regularly Djing. We hadn't seen each other since New York. I'd spent a few life times there. I'd been out of my home town, living in France, next to Geneva for four years. Over dinner, Sasa asked me to play bass on a few tracks remembering my time in Konk. It turned into In Flagranti's Hi Pitch'. Sasa and Alex reunited some good New York friends, Sal P. (Liquid Liquid), Justin Strauss (Whatever Whatever), In Flagranti and myself. So after our collaboration, they asked me to do a new record for Codek. I'd been DJing at underground spots in Geneva and doing some gigs in Paris and Zurich and I was ready to make some new tracks.

Zhivago Zhivago was inspired by hearing deep house and techno tracks where phrasing that doesn't resolve after 8 bars. That started the vibe, and then I took it down to a more Cosmic' tempo. My friend Elhadj Fall is on vocals. We worked together at a small spot on Avenue C in the East Village called Baraza, where I'd spin Salsa, Soca and disco breaks. Elhadj is a wicked Reggae DJ who also played at Baraza. I asked him to do an MC style party rap like Dr. Perri Johnson on Let's Start the Dance Again (Bohannon) but in Wolof, his language from Senegal.

Zhivago Zhivago/Khidja Dub (Emotional Especial) Two guys from Bucharest who turn out inspired psychedelic tracks, melding electronics sounds of east and west. Their remix expertly sears in the flavor like a delicious one minute steak served in pita with tahini and harissa. Khidja were the perfect choice to remix Zhivago Zhivago and their mix doesn't disappoint!

Disco Touch - The vinyl version emerged out of re-working the original and combining elements from my other mixes. Moving around the 8 bar loop—listening to it on repeat over and over, I loved the way it kept cutting off the strings. More mixes coming on digital.

Disco Touch Siren Mix is produced by Darshan Jesrani (Metro Area, Startree) and Dennis Kane (Disques Sinthomme, Ghost Town). They birthed Siren out of residencies at NYC's storied night-spot APT, and the parties they produced together in APT's wake. Their unique way of playing for party people comes through in their remix for of Disco Touch. It's another reunion as I've known Dennis since his days at A1 records.

we are very proud to present EZIKIEL (Official Page) really good producer from Cadenza Music.. His debut on Amazing Music with an amazing EP with two Deep tracks on vinyl with amazing ethnic vocals for the dancefloor...

NEW OFFSHOOT FROM KOLOUR REC'S FOCUSING ON THE NU DISCO / SLO MO SIDE OF THINGS FIRST UP IS AN EP FROM CANADIAN MAESTRO EDDIE C

In a time before CDJ loop buttons and stone-cold arrangement techniques, bonus beats and beat records were a vital tool for aspiring, working and tone-deaf DJs. The third release in an unofficial beat-tracks sublabel (se Redshape and Todd Osborn for further reference) 'Rhythm Trainx Vol 1 tries to breathe new life into that lost craft with an all-star cast: Manuel Tur, I:Cube, Blank Spanner, Disco Nihilist, Âme and Radio Slave. All in different BPM, varying styles and (un)fortunately a bit more than simple kick-drum-hi-hat patterns. Built to last.

Housed in limited edition sleeve artwork.
After releasing the fourth "Secret Rhythms" album in collaboration with
Jaki Liebezeit, Burnt Friedman returns with a preview of his forthcoming
new solo album.
