The A-side includes two fresh and Deep House tracks with a minimal touch - compact driving beats, subtle textures and groovy percussions.

'Lady Of Grape' on the B-side is a deeper stripped down track with a jazzy infused sample - telling a proper story from start to end.

The "On the Road with Microcon" is the essence of a two-year history in the form of an album by Bernese producer Rafael Kasma. His music took on a new twist during this period - dry house tracks in Mountain People style, combined with breaks, acid, electro, and even pop-ish attitudes. One constant, however, remains with all the resulting songs: The monophonic synthesizer "Microcon", produced in the nineties. This musical diary is complemented by interpretations by Youandewan, Adrian Bergmann and Kevin Villar.

Suena Hermosa presents their first imprint of 2021, proudly welcoming to the Family, after his mammoth successes of the past year, the wonderfully talented Nicola Brusegan (Italy). Proudly presenting this beautiful 4 track EP, titled ‘Chapters In Sound’ as his debut on Suena Hermosa, incorporating his signature sleek and playful harmonic vibes and addictive percussive old skool bass driven grooves... an essential for every record collection!

What happens if such restless souls like Akiko Kiyama and Laurine Frost start to melt their sounds together The result is that one of the most interesting piece of art of the forward-thinking techno music becomes alive. 'Through The Mountains EP' is a golden section of their utopistic musical imaginations, influenced by classical minimalism, live instruments and the ordered chaos of contemporary techno and found sound elements. All the four tracks contain their recognisable fingerprints. The gently and respectful collaboration is proven by the perfect balance of chemistry. In the collage of their musical layers every tiny sound and every tiny breaks have its own weight and meaning. Waving and playful structures, exciting journeys on the edge of reality.  

Hello our dear friends, we are back with another great vinyl-only release introducing talented Italian CL-Ljud with a remix from another Italian master - Vincent Casanova who needs no introduction. Four tracks featuring techy and minimal sounds with a deep groovy swing are surely going to end up in many DJs' crates. We hope you support the artists and our underground label.

Laurine Frost and Denis Kaznacheev teamed up to Syud. Their first EP 'Soho' based on studio tapes which were recorded earlier in a small village not too far from Moscow. All the three extraordinary pieces obviously contain modular synth, field recording elements and show the alloy of unique Frost-Kaznacheev style. Tricky rumbling, heavy rolling basslines and crazy concept. Joyfully intelligent tunes inside and outside of the dancefloors.

2014 was a busy year for Ztrl and Tape Hiss alike. We've been enjoying the support of numerous music-addicts, record collectors and DJs for which we are massively grateful. This is exactly why we are going back to where it all started and bringing you a new Ztrl release. The tracks which are featured on Jelen ('Now' in English) EP work well on their own yet they form a cohesive sound when put together. Each track on the release is universal as we can think of them as DJ tools in a good sense or as slowly building independent compositions. It's up only to the DJs how they wish to use them.

Don’t you realise that it’s getting warmer and warmer by the minute, that DJ JA’s “Warm”EP for hundert is just the beginning of something new while things continue to heat up?
Just think about hearing it on the news, that feeling of your skin crawling, shrivelling, theshrill alarm sounds ringing inside your head and you trying to keep your cool while theheat is rising. Just relax though, consider the Y2K panic – how everyone breathed a
breath of relief on the 1st of January once the clock had struck midnight and everything just stayed the same. After all, that’s maybe what we really need to be doing instead: wait for things and nature and this planet to settle this on their own terms. Wasn’t it all just a
hazy craze back then, and isn’t the same happening now? Aren’t we all susceptible for either apathy or paranoia, that bittersweet ambivalence also at the core of this EP, which navigates between harsh and nervous sounds, providing both heat and the (figurative and literal) chilling cool that we so desperately long for? Remember to stay calm when you can and that nature couldn’t give a fuck about whether or not we start acting only when it’s far too late; just consider your own insignificance while the melodies stretch out beyond the horizon and into the aether. May we suggest however that you wake up, take the first letter of each sentence, put them all together in order to see through the heat of the moment and the chilling anxiety in order to feel what’s true, real, and present?

London based House label Inermu brings the twelfth in their Vinyl Only series in the form of this 4 track VA. Including tracks from Parsec, Alex Belluscio, Tolstoi & JHNS.

Rising/Falling marks multi faceted artist Daze Maxim aka Markus Manowki's second full length LP since 2000's Same Place The Bot Got Smashed. The album's title refers to the breathing exercises of meditation; something that by chance Daze begun at the same time as the LP's conception. This additional balance and clarity allowed the album to develop harmoniously, and paved the way for completion. There is also a nod to reflexivity as although this discipline provided necessary solace, it also demanded greater engagement. The overall aesthetic is unquestionably true to the minimal framework Daze has meticulously crafted over the past 15 years. A playground of intermittent tempo and hybrid organic electronica, harmony builds whilst dissonance prevails. There is maturity and guts in the selection and delivery of each part's piece in the puzzle, and a true viral beauty as it gains momentum. What is immediately striking about the album in full is its brooding space and progression. From ambient tones and warped classic synths, to rigorous live instrumentation, the sonic palette enriches as the odyssey continues. Much akin to a camera lens drifting in and out of focus, Daze toys with periodic collapse and elongated movements, but always pulls the listener back through percussive punctuation. The collaborations featured on the record occurred naturally, however the sessions played out differently. Sloth's unique trumpet work on the opener is a entirely improvised workout without specific key or time signatures. In contrast Yonatan, a classically trained jazz musician from Tel Aviv now residing in NYC, added bowed and fingered double bass to an already arranged work.

Following his beautiful ‘Detroit Sunrise’ EP on the label last year, the inimitable Sascha Dive returns to Bondage Music once again for another deep frequency encounter.

The safe word is bass as Sascha picks up where he left us with two ‘Dub Chronicles’ tracks on the previous release. Now comes the third; a lavish, unhurried exploration ‘Dub Chronicles 3’ lights the fire with hazy, hypnotic charm and a spoken word well known to those familiar with the foundations.

What follows is a trip that grows in intensity and emotions. ‘Cornerstone’ is a beautiful 11pm track; fleet of foot in the kick department and arms aloft in the vibe department. Total elevation. ‘Ancient Tribal Drums’, meanwhile, takes us much deeper into the night. That rolling conga line will tie you up just the way Bondage likes it while the dubby echoes provide sense-tingling relief… Before the finale takes us to even dreamier heights. Living up to its name, ‘It’s A Groove’ brings the elements of the whole EP together; the dubby hypnosis, the warm, driving beats and that unique sense that you’re not quite tied into any reality while Sascha plays. The chronicles continue…

The London (UK) based event/label is proud to present its first vinyl release "Vallende Ster" showcasing some exclusive underground sounds from around the world, The 4-track VA features an array of distinguished artists, with Macarie (Cadenza), Robert Apetrei (VSA), Ted Amber (Botanic Minds) & Lulla (Cedesciu Wax).

Limited pressing, grab yours while it’s still hot!

Four multi-purpose, innovative tracks from the Assemble Music family. Mike Shannon takes the pace right down on 'Pimp Limp' to stunning effect, weaving together tweaked pads and a deep, tripping bass with the tightest of drum sounds, developing an irresistible, effortless groove. Aloe Varu (aka Dan Andrei) takes the shuffle up a notch on 'Shifty', evoking classic Herbert with cut-up jazz samples and bumping, stop-start percussion. Nicola Kazimir nods to another master, Jan Jelinek aka Farben, on 'Reductive Ford', channeling the latter's contemplative, intricate and emotive programming. Finally Voigtmann's 'Muff Shuffler' does, well, exactly that, shuffling along with a minimal vibe enhanced with fine atmospherics.

NDLGNC, is the first reference of PLURAL and at the same time the debut of crave:: duo composed of Faktorm and Gustavho Bacilo. The Musical Content includes genres such as Techno, Electro, House and experimental nuances , on a minimalist basis with remixes of Sonodab.

Only a very small handful of DJs and producers have the ability to transcend all styles and genres, rising above fleeting trends and cliques creating their very own sonic landscapes.

For his debut album, Tochigi Canopy has been building the melancholic, spleen-full life's perfect soundtrack. At first listen, we already feel his obsession for details and his love for deep atmospheres, he fills our mind with images, moments, slices of nostalgia where summers last only for seconds. An absolut must-have.

Bosconi Soundsystem finally has landed on the label with a four tracker EP. Born as a DJ project orginally in 2009, BSS features three of the central personalities those have defined in a way the sound mark of the label through the years since its foundation: label owner Fabio Della Torre, Mass Prod and Rufus. This debut release has named "Back To Front" not only as a work and life statement but also recall one of trio's very intimate baddest habits (please do not misundertand..) First scandalous cut of the Front Side "( She Wipes ) Back To Front" is the powerful combination of a bouncing and tight 909 groove plus a pulsating fat bass enriched here and there by psychedelic synth lines properly made to excite your pelvic moves between the decks and on the dancefloor.A2 is a voyeuristic happy, funky, progressive and glorious deep techno weapon for the ecstatic peak time moments. On the Back side you'll find the cheeky mood of the modular melodic joints of the swinging B1 track named "Three Healthy Birds" and the granitic and new-not-old skool organ vibe of the senselessly titled B2 "I <3 My Pinus". Stripped down club music for no puritans!

The final chapter in the D.K. trilogy has arrived adorned in a hooded cloak. Sword by his side, the warrior master is rising. This time taking a decidedly darker and determined approach, D.K. is here to fight the final battle - and make it out alive.

The EP opens with the aptly titled Storm Of Steel. An industrious cold front brimming with metallic clangs and resonant tubes. You can hear lightning strikes in the snares and thunder in the bass. In Frozen Sword, the tropes synonymous with this trilogy are neatly tied together again as D.K. opts for glass tubes, gated snares and deep rhythmic baselines. This second track is an epic battle song, conjuring Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon / quasi-Matrix fight scenes.

Racing the clock to crack the code in Code Breaker, alarm sirens sound off in the background as if D.K.’s plans have been foiled. It’s not until a flute motif at 4:14 that you realise our protagonist, all along, had an ace up his sleeve. The EP’s closing and title track Rising is a melancholic/euphoric dance between D.K.’s warrior’s emotions of what was won, but also what was lost.

Oscuro Records return for their second release, this time from Italian tastemaker Deyayu who
delivers four servings of slinky yet driving house.

'Loser' begins the journey, a classy groove for a summers day that is sure to get bodies moving. 'Normalized' ups the ante with a slightly faster pace and firm percussion, coupled with passing pads and retro stabs, one to light things up with as the night sets in.

On the flip side, 'Sender' gives off a dreamy feel, with a subtle cosmic flare, meanwhile 'Yupiter' drives us home, with slapping drums, unforgettable melodies and a tasty bassline.

Driving and minimal 4-to-the-floor primetime slammers with catchy vocals backed by some totally wicked Christopher Rau remixmadness!

We are extremely happy to welcome Malouane to our roster for this third release. The atmosphere of Malouane is unique: raw, melodic and full of details with charm. "Long Way for the Homies" will recall artists like MCDE or Rick Wade, quite in the same vein: Jazzy, soul and house. The second, "Keep Yo Mama Clean" very catchy too: drums, beautiful basses and small samples interact with each other. These elements work perfectly, because Malouane has a real sense of musical arrangement, a real mastery of sampling. "This is supposed to be an Outro" is the last track of the original tracks: it is a little slower than the others but a great wealth: a real charm and a true personality emerges from this piece. The multitude of details and, again, the mastery of the sample make it a piece as much club as listening. Cody Currie has proposed his own vision. The young English producer made a great remix by putting his style and Clement's together. Finally, Times are ruff also offers their reinterpretation of Keep yo Mama Clean: softer and quite faithful to the atmosphere of this EP, with a small taste of Chaos in the CBD, the Dutch have done a remarkable job.

Fabio Della Torre's Bosconi Records is back with another release by homegrown artist Rufus featured this time by a remix from the now established talent from the Bosconi nursey Herva.Just an year after his latest "Black & Blues EP" released on sister label Extra Virgin, the Florentine but Berlin based producer this time delivers on the main offshoot some tougher and more sophisticated sound textures, quite different comparing to his previous works, within his new "Stranger In Paradise" 5 tracker vinyl: A side begins with the hypnotic and rolling funky breaks of "Stranger Than Paradise", a dreamy and ethereal banger delighted by a heavenly melody floating all along the track.The second cut consists in definitively more outrageous, psychedelic, infernal atmosphere, intermixed by horny and thoughtful whispering vocals which characterizes the afro-tech funk groover and indecently named track "Slave Of Pussy".On the flip side instead Rufus goes deeper and weird with high filtered grooves and wonky bass lines within the sneaky jam of "A Mirage" , getting then slightly more classic deep-styled on B2 with the gentle laid-back mood of "Sleepy Song". We are finally happy to end this release with the return of another homegrown Bosconi artist, recently releasing also for labels such Planet Mu and Delsin, which is Herva, who drops a not conventional but extremely forward thinking ethno-idmish/broken-beat re-interpretation of Rufus original "Stranger Than Paradise".

A great company of artists gathered in this collection. iO (Mulen), Orbit & Belogurov, Andrea Caioni, Ray Mono, Niksu.
